Photoshop Elements 7 on Ubuntu GNU/Linux 9.04 x64

I'm a GIMP user. Period.
Couple of days ago I've got Nikon D60 dslr camera (you can find unboxing clip in my videos) and UFRaw and GIMP could not do what I wanted them to. Instead of using Google to solve this issue, I tried Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 and it worked!

Bad news is that I did not manage to do the same with Nikon Capture NX2, which fails to start after installation. Good news is, that even if you do not want to change Photoshop (Elements) you are currently using for (let us say) GIMP, you can still have dedicated photo processing machine which runs Ubuntu :)

Since I never used Elements before, I was little bit lost at first as you can see in the video. I had some expirience with older Photoshop versions, so I've managed to find my way around in the end. After some thinking about video size and youtube restrictions I've decided to record only RAW importing, a little bit of most basic postprocessing, resizing for web and of course, exporting to JPEG file.

Remember that I am no professional photographer or Photoshop user in any way, so this was just a demonstration of how well Adobe Photoshop Elements can work under GNU/Linux operating system, NOT a tutorial for photo editing of any kind!

PSE7 trial version for Windows was downloaded from Softpedia. Ubuntu version is 9.04 x64 with kernel 2.6.28-13 and Wine 1.0.1 on the the following PC configuration - C2D E4400, 4GB RAM, GF 8600GT.

Thanx for watching.

Yes, that's wine you see. It's written in description of the video - "Ubuntu version is 9.04 x64 with kernel 2.6.28-13 and Wine 1.0.1"...

About CS4 - I don't know, never tested it on Wine, sorry.

Dude your Photoshop has no sound. I watched a lot of videos on Youtube and all of them had sound and your Photoshop apparently has none. Put at least something from Shaban Shaulich or Zoreca Brunslick :)

BTW, you should have put your Pidgeon on "Do not disturb" much earlier ;)
