Running PS under WINE has not proved successful for me. I must admit that I really like Lightroom's interface. I look forward to the day when Adobe's principle applications might be available on Linux in some sense, but I realize this is a stretch to expect. Fortunately for me, I'm completely happy with the workflow that Bibble affords. Thanks for the insight regarding Lightroom and PS.
