Multimedia, AV Graphics and photography have been Apple's chasse gardee for years but for quite some time, MS Windows is on par with the Mac and the system of choice for photographers boils down to personal preferences more than anything else. But what about Linux? "My goal with this entry is to brush a big picture of where Linux stands as far as photography is concerned," Joel Cornuz explains, "What are the achievements, where improvements are needed and being worked on, and which pieces are still missing."

Irrelevant - read what Adobe is joining for - web based applications. I'll spell it out for you - W.E.B. They'll never port Photoshop to Linux.

PLUS THE LABS PROJECTS

Obviously there was a need to list them all since you and your friends/other fake identity , don't know what Adobe as beside Photoshop.

So , not only was I right in replying that to " adope will never do linux ports " , you where completely wrong as usual in calling me irrelevant.

You also missed :

"Adobe delivers key RIA technologies for Linux users, such as Adobe Flash Player and now Adobe AIR, to deploy RIAs in the browser and on the desktop€"

Finally , Photoshop is already ported to GNU/Linux. It's not available to the main public and it's an old version. But you can access it with codeweaver :
