hollywood seems happy with linux
Quote from Millimeter article "http://millimeter.com/ar/video_linux_hollywood/" In the case of deep paint software, Adobe has very limited deep paint support in Photoshop 7, but that is expected to improve in upcoming versions. Last year, DreamWorks and Disney funded Linux developer CodeWeavers to make the CrossOver emulator run Windows Adobe Photoshop 7 on Linux — without Windows. Can Photoshop with CrossOver meet the motion picture industry's need for Linux deep paint?

Not without the source code, and it remains to be seen whether Adobe would make its source code available to studios just to sell a few more copies of Photoshop. Enabling support for Photoshop on Linux through CrossOver seems stop-gap. Will open-source CinePaint turn out to be the long-term solution? If nothing else, it will show whether the movie industry can get behind building open-source software.
