<SOLVED> How can i install Photoshop on Linux Mint

Try WINE. go to your software manager and search for wine. It's a windows emulator.

Hi "TheDesigner",

Those are enough resources to install and use Virtualbox, install MS Windows in that, then install any MS Windows applications in that like 'PhotoShop".

But 4gb of system memory (ram) is not much, I would highly recommend adding more system memory "ram" which is relatively low-cost nowadays, the more the better. You can adjust VB settings for MS Windows to use as much memory that is available and video memory as well. Obviously, the more powerful the computer hardware the faster and better everything will work.

Hope this helps ...

That Pixeluvo looks pretty impressive I just cannot bond with GiMP. I've tried and tried and I just don't like it

You might want to install the free KRITA program:

Using Wine, I've been able to install Adobe Photoshop Elements 5, which is an old version from many years ago. Glad that I kept it all these years.

I too can't seem to bond with Gimp.

Guys, when i design something using a Photoshop CS6 in VirtualBox, how can i share files between my system (Mint 18.3) and the windows in VirtualBox ad vice versa?

[JerryF]

In Virtualbox, there is a section in settings where you can setup shared folder(s).

[mrmajik45]

Well there is a mspaint like app on linux on your software manager search for Pinta

Hi "TheDesigner",

There are a couple ways (or more) to accomplish this task of copying or moving files and folders from within the VB MS Windows (guest) and your Linux Mint (host) system.

I do not currently have VB installed, but from memory, there are these options:

1.) There is a setting in Virtualbox (vb) to share the clipboard, just copy and paste, might be a default.

2.) You can setup a shared folder in your Linux Mint where anything copied or moved into that is seen by both the VB and Linux.

I have ReactOS installed in VirtualBox. Some things run just fine, and other things not at all. I hear it runs MS Office 2010 version, or some recent version, anyway. Might be worth a try, but don't get your hopes up too much.
