Will it supports Photoshop preactivated 2021 version

I do not know since I do not use that. Have you checked the WineHQ forums for that information?

If you can you should find alternatives, but I think u can run photoshop with wine.

Need to check sir

Adobe Photoshop won't support on wine

Maybe this can help:

Can you run in terminal:

wine --version

and relay the output?

wine --version
wine-5.0.3 (Ubuntu 5.0.3-3+zorin2)

Is this latest version

According to the thread above, you need wine version 5.19 or higher.
We can install that...
First, let's remove Windows App...

sudo apt remove --purge zorin-windows-app-support

Then follow these quick scripts:

Did you perform:

To install flex:

sudo apt install build-essential

...I believe. But you can try

sudo apt install flex

otherwise.

Let's throw that guide in the trash can, shall we?

Apt key add:

wget -O - https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key | sudo apt-key add -

Repository add

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main'

Ensure we can get all those dependencies that were troubling you...

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cybermax-dexter/sdl2-backport
