Adobe Photoshop on Linux?

And no, I'm not talking about wine.


Read between the lines.

Arm hopes that many more netbook makers will be using one of its designs as a core processor and turn to Linux as the operating system.

Mr Drew said deals Arm has signed with Adobe will help ensure that future devices will be able to use the software maker's familiar video, audio and image editing tools.

I hope so. Photoshop would be a cool option over gimp. Though I fear it will hurt the gimp effort.
I don't think I'd want to use it on a netbook though. And I agree w/ the article. Netbook makers have lost touch with their original price point, but I guess the market drives it.

as far as I know, this is just for Flash Player.

Flash is already on Linux. Note what its saying "software maker's familiar video, audio and image editing " Note the editing. Nothing about just players.

I agree, this could be the reporter or the PR guy at arm over grasping what going on. Thats quite a mistake though.

I'm thinking the 'editing' is a mistake or misinterpretation, yeah. Better flash player support makes sense; if people start using the Google OS viewing flash reliably will be a big deal. But from a production standpoint? There's nothing to gain here. The primary draws of linux are that it's stable (non issue, photoshop is not mission critical) and that it's free (which makes it a horrible match for super expensive software suites). Those are very bad reasons to invest tons of money into developing, maintaining, and supporting a whole other platform.
