I know a lot of people really want newer versions of photoshop (CS, CS2) to work with wine, myself included, so I opened up a feature request on Adobe's Photoshop forum, first with the intent to lobby for a Linux version, but then had the idea that maybe it would be more realistic to get Photoshop to work in Linux via Wine, possibly via having some sort of collaboration between the two dev groups. A reply I got on their messageboard is actually from a dev, and I suggested to him that they work with the Wine devs on this, as it seems much more realistic and possible than a Linux port.
So I'm sending this to you guys as a heads up that this might be a good opportunity to get in contact with the Adobe people about getting some ideas on getting Photoshop working in Wine. Here's the link to the thread: http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc1d4af/7
maybe someone could reply and say Hi at least and say to Chris (that's the guy) that you'd be receptive to some input from Adobe on this. I can only see this as a win-win situation for everyone, Linux users for getting Photoshop working, and Adobe for the admiration of the Linux community and the possibility of new revenue that might be available to them via new sales of the software. Sorry to drop in from out of nowhere on this, but I thought the opportunity seemed to good to not say anything. So long and thanks for wine, it's awesome :)
