Photoshop in Linux Thanks to Disney

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the useful-hacks dept.

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'."

    >>>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.
