Wine, Photoshop & "save for web"

by Pascal Opitz on February 5 2007, 08:25

Tom did find out about this one for me:
The trick is to execute Photoshop with quotes around the path and backslashes in it.

Via winehq

Save for Web works with:
wine "c:\program files\adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Photoshop.exe"

Save for Web WILL NOT work with:
wine "c:/program files/adobe/Photoshop 7.0/Photoshop.exe"

THANK YOU!

Apparently most of the people using Photoshop on Linux do not use the Save For Web feature. I couldn’t find mention of this problem anywhere. Everything else works so I wonder what the deal is?

Without this plugin, I pretty much have no use for Photoshop. The GIMP does everything else (for the most part).

Thanks a ton, Tom ;)

Now I can finally use CS2 (which has the same issue) on my linux box!

Using Gimp on Linux is much better than having to rely on Wine thing which was extremely buggy on my installation of Ubuntu. There is a tweaked Gimp which has been adapted to look and feel like PhotoShop and contains the Save For Web feature also. A general point on Gimp is that it is a pretty darn powerful image editor and worth spending some time with if you are working on Linux all the time.
