Question

Acheter Photoshop

Bonjour,
Je travaille avec photoshop CS6 sur mac et voudrais passer sur l'OS Catalina. Je n'ai jamais piraté photoshop et ai toujours acheter mes licenses. En absolument aucun cas je ne veux passer sous la forme locative car les mises à jour ne me sont d'aucune utilité et je trouve absurde de devoir louer A VIE un outil de travail.  Est-il possible d'ACHETER une version compatible Catalina ou faut-il se replier sur une version récente mais piratée ? 
Cordialement,
Thomas

»Hello
I work with photoshop CS6 on mac and would like to switch to the Catalina OS. I have never hacked photoshop and always buy my licenses.  In absolutely no case I do not want to go into rental form because the updates are of no use to me and I find it absurd to have to rent A LIFE a working tool.  Is it possible to buy a Catalina-compatible version or should we fall back on a recent but pirated version? 
Kind regards

If you want to continue using an obsolete, perpetual license Photoshop version stick with your old computer and OS. 

Adobe does not sell perpetual Photoshop licenses anymore, period. 

 

If Photoshop Elements suffices for you, then try that, otherwise you could also try some alternatives, both freeware (Gimp for example) or paid (Addinity Photo for example) are available. 

But I recommend that you do not try to use pirated software – that’s a bit of an invitation for malware. 

 

And as for the »absurdity«: Are you being serious?

Some people apparently expect infinite upwards compatibility for software and start whining when their obsolete programs do not work with computers and OS’ that didn’t even exist when they became obsolete …

    Hello,

    Thank you for your prompt response. Thank you also for the Gimp and Addinity Photo links. I will explore these leads. Photoshop Element is way too weak for what I do. Photoshop CS6 was an already mature version. Never any bug. I do not feel any need for additional options so it is not obsolete for me. I just feel like I was cheated on the rental property. Imagine telling to a carpenter that from now on he will have to rent his hammer ... It is not fair to make our tools pay for your all life. I am not a connected person and I work on a computer which is not, the passage to the hiring will impose permanent connection. I also feel like a permanent piggy bank.

    Part of your statement is incorrect. Photoshop CC does not require you to work permanently online. Your documents are stored locally (unless you choose otherwise). All that is required is that you connect online every 30 days so that the software can confirm your subscription is still valid.

    As c.pfaffenbichler pointed out , if you want to keep using your old software, you can do, but you also need to keep your old operating system
