Please use this software only if you have an active Photoshop subscription. I'm not responsible for any illegal use of this product.
This repo used to be a fork of @MiMillieuh's repo they have GUI installer too. (I find that a terminal script is more transparent and flexible). However, my changes were too significant to be a fork, so I moved it to my own repo; as I changed the hosted files and their host to my own, and completely re-wrote the scripts.

# If you don't want to install it the enter 'y', otherwise enter 'n' (You can install it later from the menu if you like) e.g.
"Would you like to install Adobe Camera Raw at the end?
(y/n): y"
# The installer will also ask you weather you want to install vdk3d proton,
# this utility allows you to use your GPU with wine.
"Would you like to install vdk3d proton?
(y/n): n"
# However, it can be a bit buggy. Therefore it's up to you weather to install it or not.
# You can always install it afterwards by selecting option "4":
"[Choose options 1-6 or 7 to exit]: 4
Would you like to install or uninstall vkd3d proton [i=install u=uninstall]: i"
# And after the installer does it's stuff...
"Vdk3d proton installed!"
# And to uninstall:

Would you like to install or uninstall vkd3d proton [i=install u=uninstall]: u"
# And after the installer does it's stuff...
"Vdk3d proton uninstalled!"
# To uninstall Photoshop:

Are you sure you want to uninstall Adobe Photoshop? (y/n): y
Photoshop uninstalled!"
# If you want to completely remove this installer, then delete the cloned folder after running the uninstaller.1- Launch Photoshop and go to: Edit -> preferences -> tools, and uncheck "Show Tooltips" (You will not be able to use any plugins otherwise).
2- ONLY IF YOU INSTALLED VKD3D PROTON: Go to: Edit -> preferences -> Camera raw... -> performance and set "Use graphic processor" to "Off"
# Navigate to the Photoshop clone folder and start the main menu e.g.
cd ~/Documents/Ps-22-Linux
./main-menu.sh
# And select option 5
"[Choose options 1-6 or 7 to exit]: 5"
# Now navigate to the "Desktop integration" tab and change the theme to "Light"
After you run the installer, open your application menu, and search for "Photoshop CC", and click on it. As simple as that!
NOTE: If you do not find the desktop entry, or if it doesn't work, then run the
launcher.shfile. This command should launch Photoshop for you, or it will at least tell you what the error is. (This command is also printed at the end of the installation)
-
Add a sum verification for large downloaded files (
ps_components.tar.xzCameraRaw_12_2_1.exe) -
Check wether Photoshop is installed before installing (does the "Ps-prefix" folder exist?)
-
Check that components are installed in the installer
-
Sort out "open with" issue
