Could you build this?
No Developing Wine patches to support complex, proprietary Windows applications like the latest Photoshop requires deep reverse engineering of Windows NT kernel APIs, DirectX/Vulkan translation, and Wine internals.
What it would actually take: This requires C programming directly within the Wine codebase, utilizing tools like WinDbg, Ghidra, and API monitors to trace undocumented Win32/COM/DirectX calls made by modern Photoshop. The core difficulty is reverse engineering undocumented system calls, driver dependencies, and Adobe anti-tamper or IPC mechanisms, then faithfully implementing or stubbing them in Wine's subsystem without breaking existing compatibility.
