Providing Photoshop 2026 full access to my Mac

I go through the steps in Settings → Privacy and Security → Full Disk Access

I click the + icon and look for Photoshop 2026 and add it but it does not show up in the list of applications with full access.

There are 12 applications with full access including Photoshop Beta, Lightroom Classic, etc.

Why can I not add Photoshop 2026?

    @c.pfaffenbichler Tried but it did not work. Only Photoshop Beta shows. I experimented by uninstalling the beta version from my system. Once it is uninstalled then I can add Photoshop 2026. It seems they allow only one version and they allow only the latest version. I guess it sees the beta version as more recently than the non beta version.

    I can’t add PS 27.8. When I follow your steps, Ps 27.9 Beta opens.

    Same with me. It seems a feature that they pick the latest photoshop version. Looks like a bad feature.

    Try dragging the application from the finder and check if it works, even if it is not displayed in the list.
