I mostly use photoshop to remove objects from photos, place in images rendered with blender and retouch them to look like they were part of the photo, I think Darktabke doesn’t have tools similar to healing brush and patch tools in photoshop. Although photoshop is working perfectly so far, it would be nice to find a native application that is up to the task. I haven’t really tried hard to look for linux alternative that can do that.

EDIT:

Wait, I just looked into it and there are such tools! Thank you for suggestion! I might try it!

Wine was the first and only one I tried! I think it’s the most popular choice, haven’t really looked into others. Are there better options?

I didn’t even know about Affinity. Had to google. Their software looks really cool and capable, something I would actually buy if it ran on linux.

I decided to go with Da Vinci Resolve for video editing and I might migrate to something to replace Lightroom in future, can’t now, because I have all my Lightroom catalogues at work.

Ubuntu 23.04, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti and AMD Ryzen 5 4600H processor.

Da Vinci Resolve seemed to have everything I need, so that was my choice!

Yes! That’s what I picked!

I am on Ubuntu and I have an AMD processor.

Here are the steps:

If your system is 64 bit, enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven’t already):

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

Download and add the repository key:

sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key

Select your Ubuntu version and download the WineHQ sources file:

For Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster):

sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/lunar/winehq-lunar.sources

Install one of the following packages:

Stable branch:

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

I also changed wine to windows 10 compatability mode with a command which opens a window where I selected the option:

winecfg

Then I just ran adobe installers with Wine by double clicking them and installed everything with no problem except After Effects and Premiere Pro.

Lightroom: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=12022938

Illustrator: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=12021637

I haven’t tested fully, but everything seemed to work when I was poking around.

That’s handy! Thanks. As for photoshop though, I use it daily at work and I rely on specific tools that I couldn’t find on any other software out there.

I carry around multiple iPod shuffles with different playlists/albums on each.
