Why is the "streaming' Adobe Photoshop only for students on Chrome OS or  WIndows?

Considering Adobe hasn't acknowledged the Linux crowd that has been petitioning for a port for years, the announcement of "streaming' Adobe Photoshop for only students on Chrome OS or  Windows doesn't surprise me in the least.  Is this a beta only decision or is there another reason you've given the Linux crowd a blindeye?
It boggles my mind why I pay $50 a month to get snubbed and only be able to run your apps in a VM. I've tried to jump ship and find alternatives, but in America's corporate world you find that alternatives can't handle the proprietary design assets handed to you by creatives.

I really do like Adobe tools but the way they select platforms to support doesn't make sense to me.
It comes down to the numbers.  Linux OS has a relatively low user base when compared to other OS. Usage share of operating systems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Insofar as The Streaming Beta, it's being tested with students who use Chromebooks.

    i am with a university and i purchased the adobe photoshop elements for a faculty member of mine, how can he download it when it is in my name but he is the one needing it?

    There is nothing to prevent him from downloading and installing the trial version (Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe).  At the point all you need to do is provide him with the serial number so that he can activate it.  If the intent is that he be the owner of the software then you might want to see about transfering the license...

  • Which buyTech download is the correct one for Adobe Photoshop CS6 for MacIntosh?

    Just ordered the online download of Adobe Photoshop CS6 for Mac and the list of possible downloads does not specifically say CS6 for Mac. Help!

    They say you should get a email with the serial number and download instructions after purchase.
    Your email should specify Mac and the download would be a .dmg file.

  • I Want to Buy Adobe Photoshop CS6 for Mac - NOT Creative Cloud

    I just bought a new iMac and I would like to buy Adobe Photoshop CS6 for Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.  I am NOT interested in the monthly subscription for Creative Cloud, so please don't even try and sell that to me.  I was told by the place I bought my new iMac that Adobe would still sell me Photoshop CS6 if I contacted them.  Since I was unable to find a phone number to call, I thought I would try my luck on this forum.  Again, I was told that Adobe would send me a link or something like that where I can buy and download Photoshop CS6.  Since my new iMac does NOT have a CD/DVD-ROM drive, I would only be able to download the software.  I understand that the monthly subscription for Creative Cloud is the newest way of using Photoshop, but I am not interested in that at all.  I would greatly appreciate any and all assistance with this matter.  Thank you for your time and I anxiously await a response.
    Respectfully,
    Chris

    From here you should be able to buy photoshop cs6:

  • Just updated to OS X 10.8.5 - and got "You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CC..."

    The full message is "You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CC because it's not supported on this type of Mac." - why ?
    I notice people had the issue back in June, but this after the new point update for Photoshop CC - the update was OK but I can't access the program and it's regularly used.

    It's OK now - but seems that it was tied in with the .5 OS X update for any future reference !!!!

  • Adobe Photoshop Touch for tablet

    Does Adobe Photoshop Touch for tablet support raw-files?

    No, not at this time, sorry. (Be aware that even if it did, I wouldn't expect you'd get to work with many layers due to the hardware limitations of tablets. You can only work with 12 layers max as it is. Just a heads up.) JPEG, PNG, GIF, PSD, & PSDX are supported.

  • Ask for a download link for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 Student and Teacher Edition.

    I bought an Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 Student and Teacher Edition from the campus. It only comes with the product code on the card without the installation CD.
    Because the software downloaded from the official website don't accept the serial number registered for the student version, I am wondering where could I download the older version that accept the student serial number.
    Thank you.

    If the software you downloaded from the Adobe Updates page, what did you mean by this statement?
    “Because the software downloaded from the official website don't accept the serial number registered for the student version”

  • I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac-OS, can this be used on a PC?  I'm wanting to load onto a PC/laptop.

    I have a version of Adobe Photoshop CS5 for Mac OS, which I use on my desktop.  I've recently purchased an HP laptop, is there a way to use my licensed CS5 version of Photoshop on my new HP PC?

    No, the CS5 software is operating system-specific and even if you were willing to trade for the Windows version you could not at this point due to that only being possible for the latest. release, CS6.

  • Can I open a CS6 Photoshop file in Adobe Photoshop Touch for Phone?

    I am trying to rountrip a ps file to/from Adobe Photoshop Touch for Phone to/from CS6 Photoshop on a mac. Is it possible? It seems (so far) I can create a .psdx on the phone and edit on my desktop, but once editing in CS6 PS, I can't get that file back on the phone for editing. Any ideas... or is it a one way street from phone to desktop right now? thx!!!

    Hi there,
    In general, the .psd format is fairly backwards compatible. To help get your files ready to be opened in CS3, follow this process:
    1) Go to Photoshop > Preferences > File Handling.
    2) In the menu, make sure Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility is set to always.
    Just in case, you may also want to save your file as a .TIFF, which is a format that will also preserve your layers and is able to be opened in older versions.
    Please let us know if you need any more information, and good luck with your project!

  • You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CS5 because it may be damaged or incomplete

    Hi all,
    I have installed Adobe cs5 and all the other programs (indesign etc etc) work but when I try to open photoshop it says:
    "You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CS5.app because it may be damaged or incomplete"
    I am a noob, I first installed it but it was in polish, couldn't work out how to change the language but entered into the program without problems so I deleted, redownloaded and reinstalled and it said the above. I deleted, redownloaded and reinstalled again but it didn't help.
    What else can I do? again, I am a noob to all of this (and Macs) so Idiots Guide to Fixing your Photoshop CS5" Would be fantastic!!
    Many thanks
    Chelsea

    Chelsea,
    Your big (as in HUGE) mistake was in deleting the application instead of using the Adobe uninstaller.
    Look for the CS5Clean script at the Adobe site, download it and run it according to the instrructions.
    Good luck.

    All you should have to do is to go to the Adobe web site http://www.adobe.com.
    Sign in with your Adobe ID and Password.
    Then go the web page's Search field and type in "My Orders".
    Follow the "My Orders" link to your orders, find the order corresponding to the version in question.
    There should be an opportunity there to download a new set of installation files.
    Do you have your purchased serial number? If not, I am not sure if it will be included in the "My Orders"
    area. But, it should be in the "My Products" which you can access from the Search field. Click on the
    name of your product in "My Products", and the serial number should be revealed.
    Please let us know the outcome.
    Thank you.
