That has been known to work, but not without some serious hacking. One major problem is the software needs administrative access, so you need to copy the registry from a working windows to the wine system. If you're up to it its ok, but you do have to wonder whether you really want cross contamination :), or even whether you want to support a company that stubbornly refuses to consider OSS as a system it will build it software for. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Could it be possible to use Adobe's Mac versions on FreeBSD with less hacking? That's an unknown. There is no Mac emulator to speak of, and although FreeBSD and the Mac OS share a common root they're not the same. You'd need to really research where the differences lie and establish something like a mac_compat to accomplish that goal. But then do you really want to be supporting a corporation that refuses to work with OSS? They've only supplied readers to linux, and have outlawed the use of these on FreeBSD. Not really worth propping up when with less effort you could learn to use and extend the free stuff thats out there like Gimp and Scribus which would be beneficial to all. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I would not necessarily blame the company. There are several programs that I use on Windows, Roboform as one example. I have contacted the company and was informed that producing a version that would work on all versions of *nix was beyond the scope of what they could presently do. In addition, they felt that since most OSS users do not want to pay for software, there would be no way to recuperate their investment. I have the full blown version of Photoshop and quite frankly I have not seen anything from the OSS community that compares to it. The program works and has a very finely designed interface. Gimp is fine for basic things; however for more finely granular work it just does not measure up.

I do printing myself, and I refuse to use M$ crap. To be able to do the job I use Gimp for some editing (making sure to use the CMYK ICC) and it will save in a RGB format. I then use scribus with the same ICC to save in CMYK and final layout. It works very well in fact. Consider Gimp like Photoshop and Scribus like Illustrator. For help and tips try meet the gimp, he offers an podcast in tips and tricks in Gimp (and sometimes compares them to Photoshop methods).

Gimp can handle CMYK palettes because they're a subset of the RGB palette. Just use the right ICC, import into scribus, and save as a pdf (or whatever). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
