   Turns out the Linux installed base is a lot larger than Adobe. There   
   are entire content-creation markets where Adobe is an irrelevance. For   
   example, the VFX industry is dominated by Linux these days. You think   
   they make much use of Adobe products? Apparently not.   
      
   Fun fact: they use file formats like OpenEXR, with support for deep   
   pixels. Photoshop still has to use plugins to cope with OpenEXR, while   
   Gimp has native support for deep pixels in its GEGL pixel engine.
