I wish to run Photoshop version 7 on my G4 Powerbook 17" running Os

have no problem with PS 7.
I'm no Photoshop expert, but I thought that Photoshop 7.0 and the
update 7.01 were "carbon" apps that ran in both Mac OS and also OS X
natively. I don't think you need the Classic environment to run
Photoshop 7.01 in OS X, is should launch within OS X natively I think?
Also, there's a special plugin for the G5 that allows the G5 to fully
use it's power with Photoshop 7.01:

I had a friend using Photoshop under OS X 10.5.8 on a 1.67GHz G4
AluBook, and he downgraded to 10.4.11 to get better response and speed
out of Photoshop, it was a significant speed-up, perhaps 30% using
10.4.11 instead of 10.5.8, so that's one reason you might still
consider downgrading, but I'm pretty certain Photoshop 7.01 should run
without MacOS or Classic needed.
