    I just read one Mac user on Twitter who said Photoshop CS6 wouldn't open till he removed old plugins. Then it opened just fine.

    Despite the constant drumroll about subscribing, older Adobe apps sometimes work more reliably than newer versions. We already learned that with High Sierra.

      It may or may not work, but one day just when you need it it'll stop or something. Professionals can't afford to take chances – after all the subscription is only around $10 a month!

        Photoshop CS6 is over six years old, and there have been five major version releases since that. You are a very long way behind.

        CS6 users have already had a number of issues under Sierra/High Sierra, and for each new MacOS iteration those issues multiply. We've said for a long time that CS6 will sooner or later stop working altogether. You may be at that point now.

        You really need to use a current Photoshop version. A new release is due any day, it will be developed and tested for Mojave.

          yeah I know its old, but to be honest its got everything i need to produce what I want, but looks like i will have to go for the new versions and subscribe.

            I understand the hesitation to upgrade,  but as the OS advances,  older apps run the risk of being less and less reliable.  At least if you subscribe to CC,  its always going to be the most up to date version of PS

            Hi neilsy74,

            Sorry that you cannot use Photoshop CS6 after upgrading to MAC OS Mojave.

            Adobe has discovered the compatibility issue listed in this article with running Photoshop with macOS 10.14 Mojave: Known issues - Running Photoshop CC on macOS 10.14 Mojave

            You may also refer our compatibility FAQ page here: Adobe Creative Cloud apps and macOS 10.14 Mojave compatibility issues

            Thanks,

            Akash
