I just went through this last night…VMware workstation +windows 10 + passthrough.
Not too hard with WinApps. I just use GIMP.
What? This is a normal headphone dongle for macs.
Don’t be ridiculous, mac users have neat and tidy usb hubs. iPhone users on the other hand…
Are you trying to use a guitar as an input device for PhotoShop?
???
What else would you use?
Reverse polarity positron emitter.
Surely you’d want the detector?
That’s the fun part. The emitter is the detector. It will invert the beam of it detects anything.
Just dropping this here https://forum.mattkc.com/viewtopic.php?t=336
mattkc USES LINUX? based.
I love Matt’s videos.
He had a video describing how he completely switched to Linux and he showcased Photoshop in the video. It was immensely satisfying for me.
I’ve never had any trouble running adobe software on Linux.
I’ve also never tried, but still the statement is technically correct.

I was hoping I could plug it into my guitar & watch the sounds on an old computer monitor…
Do you think it would work?
All we need to do is build a similar setup and then find a guitar and a CRT and see what happens
Edit: actually, I’ve got a guitar and a CRT and maybe half of the pieces there. The big thing I’m concerned about is destroying the CRT. I have no idea how sensitive CRTs are or how much power is coming from a guitar.
I have no idea if it would work, but I do have a spare CRT monitor if you blow yours up.
Maybe look into a direct box? I had to use one when recording to change the ohms between the instrument & the usb interface in the tower.
The answer is very much “Don’t run Photoshop”
(Fuck Adobe. There, I said it)
“It is always ethical to pirate adobe”
It’s never unethical to pirate Adobe, but it’s always more ethical to use Free Software instead and deny Adobe the mindshare.
It’s far more ethical to make the company lose money
Minimum amount for photoshop is 22$/month
Pirate photoshop
Delete it
Pirate again
Repeat 30 times
Adobe looses 660$
If everyone does this adobe will loose so much
That’s not at all how piracy works. They don’t lose any money by me not buying their product, the money was never theirs to lose. They can earn money if I buy it, but if I don’t, then nothing changed. It’s not like every company is entitled to my money.
Pirating or using Gimp or Krita instead, has the exact same effect on them, ie me not buying their product.
Lol I’ve been using cs5 until yesterday. V24 now
Investors hate this one glitch!
They don’t care as they have a massive profit margin. What matters more is the market share. You got to break the standard way of thinking industry wide.
Voice of reason
I never understood that argument. Do or do not.
Fuck Adobe
Goto www.PhotoPea.com instead. :)
Sadly there is no alternative that is even remotely as capable
Gimp has been just fine.
It depends on what you do
Well the obvious answer would be all the professional Photoshop capable things man, we can love Linux and still admit there’s areas for growth
True but I think most people don’t use every feature
If you want to edit photos then Affinity is passable, and GIMP is a joke.
If all you want to do is draw, then Krita is a very capable alternative to Photoshop, but being good at only a specific subset of Photoshop capabilites doesn’t turn it into a replacement for it
I make my memes in gimp and it works for me.
Depends what you want to do to photos. It just adjustments without trickery, darktable is fantastic.
Fuck I’d love an actual equivalent alternative on Windows too. GIMP, while great in the past, is nowhere near modern Photoshop, it’s closer to modern Paint, which is just sad.
There’s a ton of people and businesses that hate Adobe, the lack of real alternatives is fascinating.
Krita, rawtherapee, dark table, digikam, affinity. Just depends what you are trying to do. If you’re used to photoshop there’s nothing exactly the same and it will take effort to move but I think it’s worth it, I’m still on the journey of learning as a hobbyist and have mostly been using dark table for photo editing
back in the 90s piggybacking peripherals was a common way to upgrade your machine
And today we complain about having 2 separate cables, type c and lightning
hardware dongles were the worst. god forbid you wanted to run 3ds and lightwave on the same box, sentinel didn’t like other dongles goddamnit
I was taking to my sister, who is an artist, about setting up Linux and warned them about poor Adobe support. Their response was “⭐ 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀 𝒶𝒹𝑜𝒷𝑒 ⭐” due to their AI shenanigans and high costs.
So thanks modern Adobe for making it easier for people to switch to Linux.
How do I run Paint Shop Pro 9 on Linux?
thats me with affinity (and you need a custom version of wine) 💀
Photoshop cs2 is
free to downloadand probably works well on wine as its old as hell.Edit: Correction. You used to o be able to download cs2 from adobe website. This is no longer the case.
GIMP has always been able to do what I needed more or less. Its got a learning curve and sometimes I still dont 100% how something works but for basic photo editing, meme making, and converting photos to different file types (why is .webp not universally supported yet?) Its pretty good.
When theres a problem doing something in GIMP it always felt like the issue was my own understanding of the toolset conbined with not-great documentation being given. I never felt like I encountered the limits of the program itself.
I’m sure if you are a professional graphics person who needs advanced tools theres things only PS can provide and its user interface is probably more friendly. But for me, the average joe schmo, GIMP gets the job done 95% of the time with little to no headache.
Some people do overestimate how much of the software they’re actually using, and how far back some features go. I learned the little PS I know using a 7.0 license my father bought, I used it for years doing 2D graphics and web “design”, and still basically still have the same workflow with minor differences to avoid destructive changes.
I’ve seen someone using Adobe Acrobat just for splitting PDF documents.
Use Krita instead
Krita is a different kind of tool used for drawing, but still really good. I don’t even know the adobe way to do this lol.
Gimp would be image post processing software like photoshop is. Also Inkscape is a vector graphics software like adobe illustrator.
Nah, I prefer my parallel port
You mean that Centronics SCSI terminator?
What’s so funny? This is how we played multiplayer Doom in 94.
