I have been running Mac OS Ventura for the past 3 years on my Mac Pro 2O19 Intel because I have a couple apps that will not run on newer versions. When I upgraded to version 27 of Photoshop, I got an Adobe message something like "To have access to all the new features of Photoshop, you should upgrade your Mac OS to the latest version".

So, I took the leap and upgraded to Mac OS Sonoma yesterday and when I launched Photoshop, I got he same message!

What OS do I have to install to eliminate that message? Sequoia? Tahoe?

More important what new features am I missing with Sonoma?

macOS

The 2019 Mac Pro will run Tahoe, but this is the last release with Intel support. Both Apple and Adobe are aggressively pushing to cut off older OS versions and computers. The current Photoshop will work fine on Sonoma or Sequoia but you probably want to start thinking about upgrading to a newer machine.

As you see in the requirements (Adobe Photoshop on desktop technical requirements) macOS Sonoma (version 15.6.1) is recommended.

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 9 - PureRAW 6 - Topaz Photo AI

The linked article says Recommended:

macOS Sonoma (version 15.6.1) - cannot be installed on macOS v12.x.x (Monterey) or earlier

However v 15.6.1 is Sequoia (not Sonoma)???
