Description
This may not concern Ubuntu as much but I'm finding it difficult to use Ubuntu for long periods of time with out flicking back to MS Windows for Photoshop.

I do a lot of web design and find that the Gimp doesn't have the features.

Any Way of doing it? (Wine's not that good with it)

If you really cannot find the features you _need_ in the Gimp and absolutely _must_ use Photoshop there is the option of virtualisation.

Qemu (and a number of other vurtualisation solutions) on Ubuntu will readily support another OS required to run Photoshop.

P.S.
This is not so much an idea as a support question.

What kind of an idea is this?

I really wish people would stop asking for applications from other operating systems. If you REALLY want to use the app, run the OS on which it runs. If there are specific features in one of the legacy apps then become involved with the Linux equivalent (GIMP on this case) and help spec, code or test the changes required to bring about the feature you want.

-1 for being someone who does "a lot of web design" and not knowing that virtualization is your answer.

Read the wine documentation, I think you may change your mind.

I think you should create some brainstorms for the features that you find to be lacking in GIMP. That would be much more productive and realistic.

This not a forum, but test The Gimp and you see the wonderful world of Linux :-)
