now you have antialiasing on menu and some other boxes only!

lets fix it all!!!

You have to download Tahoma fonts from here

Unzip and copy the to font files to /home/username/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts

Photoshop CS4 Portable


Photoshop CS5 Portable


Unrar it where ever you want to run, it runs direct without install.

then download from here

gdiplus.dll and copy it to system32 folder as root (in terminal : sudo nautilus) and go to home/yourusername/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32

Download fix for Type tool from here

and copy it to system32 this one too!

then from Application-Wine-Configure Wine go Applications and add the exe file of photoshop, then select it go to Libraries and select gdiplus.dll, when you select it press Add and Ok.

you are ready .. execute Photoshop.exe from unziped folder and work!!

ps. Always need latest wine version!

Adobe Photoshop CS5 and 10.04:)

Ok, its easy with portable again!! always with latest wine!

Download From here CS5 portable

If you have error when execute the file , right click - properties - pemissions Tab
and click Execute - Allow Executing file as program

double click to execute now.

follow the installation instructions and install it on c:\program files\

and

you have to add in .wine\drive_c\windows\system32 this fix file for type tool like CS4 :)

This version doesnt need to accept the license agreement runs directly!

Gdiplus.dll no more needed with latest wine.

Enjoy latest Photoshop:)
