The one and only program I actually miss after changing to Linux is Photoshop. I have heard about a program called CrossOver Office that could made this possible but as I understand it CrossOver costs.
Is there any other stable alternative that can make this possible, for free?

COO is always a possibility as long as you first verify that it supports your app. check here first:

and for all of $39.95 (US), you really have to ask yourself if it's worth the time to find something else that may not work as well. just sayin'.

That was just in case you haven't tried it - I've used both and find Gimp works fine for all I've come across.

I'd like to second the suggestion. I've become somewhat familiar with Photoshop because of my career. ..and my early adventures with Gimp leave me missing nothing I have with Photoshop. (But then I'm not an expert p'shopper.)

Yes I have planned to give Gimp a chance also, so this plugin might be interesting. Where can I find it? Can I find it on Livna?

Gimp is included in Fedora, and it's not a plugin but a standalone program (Gimp = GNU Image Manipulation Program). You should find in the "start menu" provided you've done a standard installation of Fedora.
Most professionals seem to think it's inferior to Adobe's offering, but it's getting better all the time and most people find it more than sufficient for casual use. If you're a power/pro user it may be different... only one way to find out ;)

Yes, know what Gimp is but someone mentioned a plugin to make Gimp more Photoshop-alike.

I have used The GIMP for years and now I am finding a major problem with it. It lacks colour depth for detailed work. It is okay for day to day stuff but I am working with some files that require 16 bit colour channels and GIMP only supports 8bit depth. Yes, a bug report has been filed years ago about this limitation. And yes, for some work this is a major headache which I never noticed until I actually had to do it.
Cinepaint http://cinepaint.sourceforge.net/ will support 32 bit colour channels and started off as FilmGIMP. It does lack some of the plugins that The GIMP has.
I love The GIMP but the colour depth is a major limitation for some types of work. For most work, it is a great program and I use it almost daily for photo/video editing.

Wine might work.

Crossover is a commercial version of wine so if it works under Crossover it should also work with wine.

Yep, I know... :-)
BTW, I have Photoshop CS 2 running in both Win98 on Win4Lin and Win2K on Win4LinPro. Both of those are commercial programs, but Win4Lin is based on QEMU (http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/) which you can download for free. It might take some work to get it set up, but it will run almost any Windows software (it's a virtual PC which runs Windows, like VMWare, not a Windows emulator like Wine/Crossover).
If you do get it running, you will want to use the QEMU Accelerator module to speed it up.

That's a little too optimistic. Rather, it should be said that if it works under Crossover, than one SHOULD be able to get it to work with wine, if one knows what to tweak. If everything that ran under Crossover ran under wine, then no one would buy Crossover! Note that buying crossover does support wine, as Crossover recycles their code back into the original wine code.

As far as I know, the answer is no. Crossover doesn't support CS as yet. I've even tried installing it but it didn't work. Try The Gimp. I don't know about U, but most of the users I know are simply utilizing a portion of the full potential of Photoshop. The Gimp should be powerful enough to meet the needs of the average user.
