Message: Finding Distractions not supported on Intel Mac

Question

I am using Photoshop 27.6/0 on Macbook pro 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 (2019) and I get message: Finding Distractions not supported on Intel Mac.

I have reset preferences and changed setting to more stable and restarted PS after each change to preferences.

Any ideas?

Hey @john_c_b ,

I can understand how confusing that message would be, especially when you’re expecting the feature to work normally. The message means that the “Find Distractions” feature in Photoshop is not currently supported on Intel-based Macs. It relies on newer AI and GPU processing capabilities that are available on Apple silicon Macs (M-series). Here is some addtional information regarding GPU compatability.

Let us know if you have any questions.
