This has actually been one of the biggest deal breakers for many people 
for as long as I can remember in the world of Linux. Many have even 
chose to dual boot /just/ so they can have Photoshop.

I wonder why, after all these years they haven't just made and support a 
Linux version of it. Unless they have some exclusivity with Microsoft or 
something or there's differences in how they make people pay for it.

Regards,
Nick
