Photoshop in Linux Thanks to Disney

miladus writes "eWeek reports that Walt Disney's feature animation unit (along with 2 other unnamed studios) are using Adobe's Photoshop in Linux. They use the Wine emulator to run the software and the 3 studios 'not known as team players, all three agreed that a project that would benefit the entire open-source community while delivering a technology they needed--was worth their cooperation'."

Re:Make Photoshop Open Source!

>>>I think it would benefit the graphics designers if Photoshop for Linux was made Open Source.

Sheesh. You're the TRASH in the Linux community that we DESPISE! You're the type that wants every-fucking-thing to be FREE FREE FREE. HELL, you're mom aint free. She has the decency to CHARGE.

>>>The Open Source developer community would be able to enhance the offerings of the Adobe Team by adding new Gaussian blur filters, better fill methodologies, and Ogg Vorbis export functionality.

Yeah. "Developer comunity" MY ASS. More like, lets leach off of Adobe. MIGHT ACTUALLY BUILD 32 BIT COLOR IN GIMP.

>>>The Linux platforms is an untapped market for Adobe and by making Photoshop Open Source, not only would the community forgive them for the ElcomSoft lawsuit but would also create a new revenue stream by offering support and consulting for Linux adopters.

Untapped for a good reason. How could ADOBE fight the Awe-Inspiring power of THE GIMP (other than 20$ of 'investements')

>>>Only when we free the works of Milne from the clutches of depraved millionaires will we be able to entertain our children.

ONLY when we free YOUR life, will your scum-sucking trash-ridden pussy-depraved hippie-shit-fucking body NOT TORMENT US WITH "'n make it free for ALL of us".

>>>Which is nice.

You're a fucktard. Drink bleach and DIE.

Why bother?

You know what I say... If companies don't want to produce Linux versions of their software, screw-em. I'm not going to go through the hassle to run Wine just so I can pay someone for the use of their program that they could put a trivial effort into porting if they wished.

There's no IE for Linux, fine, I'll use Mozilla/Netscape/Opera.

Same thing goes for Photoshop. If they don't want to put the small effort into making it work on Linux, I'll use Gimp for most stuff, and where I need more functionality, I can put it in, or I can pay someone else to put it in, and it with that one-time cost, it will forever be available to anyone that wants it. Instead of paying for Photoshop and Windows licenses... Pay a good programmer to code any functionality into the Gimp that you previously needed Photoshop for.

*Why* is this thanks to Disney?

I do not understand how Photoshop running under Linux is "thanks to Disney". I have been running Photoshop under Linux the same way for months now, so is it thanks to me that Photoshop runs under Linux? No. It's thanks to these guys because of what these guys started. Try to have some more integrity, would you?
