Would using older version of Elements work on MacBook Pro with Catalina 10.15

Question

Hello,

I recently purchased Photoshop Elements 2020 for using on my Macbook Pro with Catalina 10.15. However, the lag, the slowness and many hours of support from Adobe staff meant getting a refund in the end as it became unuseable.

I wanted to ask people if gettting an earlier version of Elements would work? If not, do people have suggestions for a not too expensive photo editing package/software?

Many thanks in advance

Unfortunately, versions older than photoshop elements 2020 won't run or run acceptably on macOS Catalina 10.15, because they include some 32 bit components that no longer work under Catalina, since apple removed the ability to run 32 bit applications.

You could try a photoshop subscription for around $10 a month or something like Affinity Photo.
