Photoshop Features to appear on Linux?  Please?

Hey,
Im a relative newcomer to the world of photoshop.  As a student, I like to flick between various options and alternatives.  One of the things I have found is the number of posts concerning the market potential for photoshop within a  Linux userbase.
People have discussed the cost of porting the software vs the money to be made out of it, with a split between people on linux supporting open source, and those that wish to pay for the software and don't have that option available.  The post I delved into most had some great input from Chris Cox I think, where he argued that the market research had been done, and that the people that would pay for a licence on a linux machine already owned a licence on windows machine and so the profit margin was virtually non existent in terms of OS crossovers.
I would have posted on that thread, but it appears to have been locked, what I was wandering was this:
Whats the market potential/ research on demographics outside of design studios?
What little ive read about Linux and its targeted user base, seems to indicate that there are a lot of large organisations (governmental institutions, educational establishments etc.) that would be looking to move to linux as its primary operating system, as they wouldn't have to fund the cost of Windows OS licences.  Obviously Adobe already provides student licences and such, but whats the market like for schools transferring to a linux enviroment?
Surely that worldwide the number of individual workstations would make the development/ port a viable busiuness move?
Just a students view.  I have next to no knowledge about the inner workings of Linux distros, or Photoshops.  I just like to work inside of Ubuntu and read up on the future of linux. 
Anyone?
Cheers.

We've done targetted and general market research regarding Linux desktop usage.
The Linux market for commercial desktop software is still next to non-existent.

  • How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses  "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear.  Help please!

    How do I delete stored email addresses in my iphone? When sending photos, I don't want to have certain email addresses  "popping up" from the internal memory, I've deleted my entire "Contact" list but they still appear.  Help please!

    As with the Mail app on a Mac, the iPhone's Mail app stores all email recipients in a list of previous recipients which is separate from the address book or contacts. The email address autofill feature when addressing an message pulls from Contacts and from the list of previous recipients.
    Different from the Mail app on a Mac, there is no access to the list of previous recipients with iOS on an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to remove a previous recipient from the list, or to add a previous recipient to the address book or contacts that is not already entered - not at the present time anyway.
    The only way to purge the list of previous recipients at the present time is by restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, which will start being re-populated again with every sent message.

  • "This document contains Adobe photoshop data which appears to be damaged.

    "This document contains Adobe photoshop data which appears to be damaged. Continue and ignore the photoshop data?" --- I am getting this message when im trying to open a photoshop file which I have worked last couple of days and when I say “OK” I’m just getting a blank black background screen and nothing on it.. but the file size remains 10mb... Please help me to recover my designs..!!! pls..

    Did you try opening a flattened version of the file? Press and hold down Opt + Shift (Mac) or Alt + Shift (Win) as you open the file. See if you're able to at least recover a flattened copy of the file that you can save as a JPG.
    If not, I'm sorry to break this  - you may be out of luck. There are lot of PSD repair programs - but they hardly work to recover all of lost data.
    This error message is very rare and is usually caused due to a bad sector on drive, improper eject of USB (if your file was once stored there) or a hard drive that is about to conk. This is one of the reasons you should keep 'Backing up' - make it a process!
    Btw, are you on Windows/ Mac OS?
    Good luck.

  • Error message: "This document contains photoshop data which appears to be damaged."

    I saved the file I was working on by choosing "Save" from the "File" menu. Unfortunately after 10 min as I saved my work  my PC had "issues" and needed to be manually shut off. I was trying to open the psd file after restarting my computer and I get this error message: "This document contains photoshop data which appears to be damaged. Continue and ignore the photoshop data?" I clicked okay and then I get just a black screen. No Layers or any pictures.
    I have tried to preview in Graphic Converter, in Illustrator, in ACDSee, etc... Nothing... I just get a black screen. Also, I have tried file recovery programs: Stellar Phoenix PSD Repair V1.0 and Advanced PSD Repair v1.4
    The program Stellar Phoenix PSD Repair V1.0 was able to recover only BMP picture 3.4 KB, it is so tiny that you can't see anything on the picture.
    I also have tried to install plugin "psdrecover", for Adobe Photoshop. Unsuccessfully for some reason. The plugin does not want to be installed into the "plugins" folder. I did follow the instructions.
    I am using Photoshop 6 version and Windows 7 operating System.
    I am in dire need of help. I've been working on it for days. Is there any way to recover that file back?

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you're likely out of luck.  We almost never hear of anyone recovering image data from a damaged PSD.
    Some thoughts:
    1.  Set up backups.
    2.  Get in the habit of saving your master file in several different locations as you work on it.
    3.  Consider upgrading to Photoshop CS6, which auto-saves your work in the background.  I'm not sure whether it would have recovered the data in your particular case, but it's possible.
    4.  Don't feel bad - go back and do the image again, and I'll bet it comes out even better in less time.

  • Can`t post replies in photoshop feature requests section

    the reason is probably obvious but not to me,
    I cannot post a reply to anyones comments or thread in the photoshop feature requests, it usually reads "reply" to be able to comment on anothers comment,
    but only reads "report abuse" in the photoshop features request thread.
    when I select "new"and search for the photoshop features request thread, its greyed out so you cannot select it,
    what am I getting wrong here,
    I am logged in by the way.
    cheers.

    They created a new feedback site. The feature request site is read only now.
    Read the text above the discussions sections. There you will find the link to the new site.

  • Photoshop cc layer appears to be locked when opened in photoshop elements. pencil with line crossing it out in layers panel... help please.

    I sent a psd created in photoshop cc to a customer to edit. They only have photoshop elements and cant edit the layer.. the image shows a pencil with line across.
    any ideas please???

    You sent them a layer group and photoshop elements can't open or work with layer groups without some kind of add on like actions or scripts.
    You should send them the document with the layers not in a layer group.
