— is right that Wine is one path, but on an Ubuntu 9.10 machine you will hit library, driver and installer quirks. Two practical, no-VM approaches that usually give the fastest results are browser-based apps for PSD/asset work, or a carefully prepared Wine prefix if you really need a CS app.

For slicing and Photoshop-like workflows without installing Windows software:

  • Use Photopea — opens PSDs, preserves many layers, and can export selected layers/groups or artboards as PNG/JPG/SVG. It runs in-browser so no install is required.
  • Use Figma for UI/Fireworks-style work — create frames (artboards), set export formats on each frame/layer, and export assets at multiple scales in one click.
    Quick workflow: import your PSD/artwork, convert areas to frames or groups, set export properties (format/scale), then export the selected frames/assets.

If you want to pursue Wine (what suggested): check current reports on the Wine AppDB, use a manager like PlayOnLinux or Lutris to pick Wine versions, and use winetricks to add needed fonts and runtimes. Be prepared for installer DRM, activation, GPU-accelerated filters, or plugins to fail; those are common culprits. For Flash playback or legacy SWF content, consider the Flash emulator Ruffle. For serious long-term use, upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 to a supported release or use a Windows VM/dual-boot for best compatibility.

Can someone give me fireworks (not inkscape), photoshop (not gimp or gimpshop)(something what can slice and save slices like images) and flash alternative?
