The one and only program I actually miss after changing to Linux is
Photoshop. I have heard about a program called CrossOver Office that
could made this possible but as I understand it CrossOver costs.
Is there any other stable alternative that can make this possible, for free?

COO is always a possibility as long as you first verify that it
supports your app. check here first:
http://www.codeweavers.com/site/compatibility/browse/name/?letter=all
and for all of $39.95 (US), you really have to ask yourself if it's
worth the time to find something else that may not work as well. just
sayin'.

I just wanted to mention Gimp to you since it says you're a new user.
There is also a key mapping plugin which gives gimp the same key
shortcuts as PS.
That was just in case you haven't tried it - I've used both and find
Gimp works fine for all I've come across.

I'd like to second the suggestion. I've become
somewhat familiar with Photoshop because of my career.
..and my early adventures with Gimp leave me missing
nothing I have with Photoshop. (But then I'm not an
expert p'shopper.)

Yes I have planned to give Gimp a chance also,
so this plugin might be
interesting. Where can I find it? Can I find it on Livna?

Gimp is included in Fedora, and it's not a plugin but a standalone
program (Gimp = GNU Image Manipulation Program). You should find in the
"start menu" provided you've done a standard installation of Fedora.
Most professionals seem to think it's inferior to Adobe's offering, but
it's getting better all the time and most people find it more than
sufficient for casual use. If you're a power/pro user it may be
different... only one way to find out ;)

Yes, know what Gimp is but someone mentioned a plugin to make Gimp more
Photoshop-alike.

I have used The GIMP for years and now I am finding a major problem
with it. It lacks colour depth for detailed work. It is okay for day
to day stuff but I am working with some files that require 16 bit
colour channels and GIMP only supports 8bit depth. Yes, a bug report
has been filed years ago about this limitation. And yes, for some
work this is a major headache which I never noticed until I actually
had to do it.
Cinepaint <http://cinepaint.sourceforge.net/> will support 32 bit
colour channels and started off as FilmGIMP. It does lack some of the
plugins that The GIMP has.
I love The GIMP but the colour depth is a major limitation for some
types of work. For most work, it is a great program and I use it
almost daily for photo/video editing.

Wine might work.

Crossover is a commercial version of wine so if it works under Crossover it
should also work with wine.

Yep, I know... :-)
BTW, I have Photoshop CS 2 running in both Win98 on Win4Lin and Win2K on
Win4LinPro. Both of those are commercial programs, but Win4Lin is based
on QEMU (http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/) which you can download
for free. It might take some work to get it set up, but it will run
almost any Windows software (it's a virtual PC which runs Windows, like
VMWare, not a Windows emulator like Wine/Crossover).
If you do get it running, you will want to use the QEMU Accelerator
module to speed it up.

That's a little too optimistic. Rather, it should be said that if it
works under Crossover, than one SHOULD be able to get it to work with
wine, if one knows what to tweak. If everything that ran under
Crossover ran under wine, then no one would buy Crossover! Note that
buying crossover does support wine, as Crossover recycles their code
back into the original wine code.

As far as I know, the answer is no. Crossover doesn't support CS as
yet. I've even tried installing it but it didn't work. Try The Gimp.
I don't know about U, but most of the users I know are simply utilizing
a portion of the full potential of Photoshop. The Gimp should be
powerful enough to meet the needs of the average user.
