Whenever I try to open a Photoshop file (whether created by PsCS3/Mac or this copy running on Wine) I get an error that says "Could not complete your request because of a program error." Nothing is sent to stderr between clicking Open in the dialog and this message appearing. Does anyone know of a workaround, patch, hack, or anything I can use to get Photoshop working? I can't seem to find this happening anywhere else, except here, which references the Mac version of CS2, and here which wasn't solved. Note: I am having the same problem when entering text.
NOTE: I am fully and completely aware of the existence of GIMP, GIMPshop, Krita and the like. I love free and open source software, hence why I'm using linux, but they don't really work for me, and I do use a lot of the features in photoshop that are not present, difficult to find and use or not up to scratch in these alternatives.

Possibly a dumb question, but why don't you use the GIMP under Linux?
I'd like to bump this thread up as I have the same problem using the text tool and opening files where the text tool has been used. I'm having a really hard time with this as graphic design is my hobby and side business. Any ideas? I am running Ubuntu Hardy Heron and I always start CS2 with Ctrl-Shift-Alt to delete the preferences file. Thanks!
Even if last post is a few months old, I didn't find any answer on the web, so I'm posting mine here.
Got it sorted after almost a half-day banging my head on my desk.
I had exact same symptoms :
- able to open Photoshop
- able to create and save files in any format (PSD included)
- able to open flattened files (jpg, png,...)
- but unable to reopen any PSD files created on Mac, Win nor Ubuntu.
So I installed Windows system fonts and it then worked like a charm :
Code:
$sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
and then (to make sure font cache is regenerated) :
Code:
$sudo fc-cache -fv
My two cents are that Photoshop uses MS system fonts for displaying layers/options/paths info and/or other stuff.
Hope this helps !
