Question

MacOS Sequoia: Photoshop won't open using Rosetta

I'm using some extensions that can only be shown using the Legacy Extensions menu item, which requires Photoshop (and InDesign) to run using Rosetta.
However, when I check the box to open Photoshop using Rosetta, nothing happens. I can see my computer trying to launch Photoshop, then quitting. The same with InDesign.

 

I'm not sure when this issue was introduced, if it was an update of Photoshop, or an update of my MacOs - or a combination.

Details:

MacOS: Sequoia 15.1.1

Photoshop: v 26.1 (had the same issue running 25.12)

 

I've tried uninstalling Photoshop and re-installing, but no luck there.
Any thoughts?

Yes, my thought is that if you can you should roll back both the OS and Adobe software to the latest versions that worked properly for you and wait six months until after the commercial release of both products before upgrading, while checking periodically to see whether the major bigs have been ironed out in the interval. Fortunately, there are people who like to be at the bleeding edge of updates and don't mind taking the trouble of dealing with the inevitable bugs that accompany any software update. We have them to thank for doing this "research" so that ultimately the rest of us can enjoy a relatively trouble-free computing experience. It has to be appreciated that these systems are so complex and there are so many computing environments out there that teething trouble is inevitable, but not ll of us need suffer through it if we choose to be patient.
