They all need to be in the same directory as the program, not in
c:\windows\system32 directory.

Support here is provided by ordinary users; whatever anyone wants to/is able to
support will be supported.  In practice, that usually means the latest
development version, because that's what the advanced users are using
themselves.

The problem for Photoshop CS4, of course, is that installing in the latest
development version means compiling Wine yourself with commit 
b8965ee7c90a687af4c84ad0ede73b1df901e16c reverted. That's what the AppDB
says is the recommended way to install. Installing in 1.1.17 is mentioned, and
specifically labeled not recommended.

Now, if there were a user who had successfully installed CS4 in 1.1.17 and
wanted to help you here, no one would stop them. There doesn't appear to be
one.

1. Gdiplus is included with Wine; the others aren't. If you're using
1.1.17, you will need to set it to builtin in winecfg for Wine to use its own
version as the default load order back then was to favor native gdiplus
installed by the app itself, and according to
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18929 Photoshop CS4 does indeed install
its own gdiplus.
2. If you've set the dlls to native only and Wine can't find them,
they're either not there at all or haven't been installed properly.

Reverting the commit means compiling without the patch that caused the
regression. The regression testing instructions include a section on reverting
patches.

And of course no thread about Photoshop would be complete without the usual
mention of free native Linux alternatives, e.g. gimp. I have Photoshop and I
have played with it on wine, but I now do most of my photo editing, resizing and
cropping batches of photos that people upload, on the command line remotely with
gm convert by the way. (My server is offshore.) Carry on.

Hi Hellork,

    I use Lightzone and Noise Ninja on a daily basis, and I used Gimp
for the paint brushes and clone tool, but I have never enjoyed the
interface [purely personal preference], and the retouching work I would
like to do I cannot work out how to do.  PS has Liquidify, which is great.

I have always had a copy of PS on my WXP installation that I can fall
back to, and indeed I do.  Shame to have spent the cash and not try and
run it with Wine.

Gimp is a fully functional, and excellent tool, but I find more
tutorials for PS than Gimp that address the photographic manipulation
that I want to do.  However, I expect that I shall continue to use
features of both.
