Unfortunately, Adobe Photoshop Elements 2018 is not compatible with the latest macOS from Apple, Big Sur. You will need to upgrade to the latest Adobe Photoshop Elements 2021 release. The standard price for the upgrade is around $80.

Apple made the decision to only support 64-bit apps about 18 months ago with the release of their previous version of macOS, Catalina. Adobe Photoshop Elements 2018 was released 3.5 years ago and contains some 32-bit code making it unable to work either under Catalina or Big Sur.

Before you update your operating system, or buy a new computer (especially macOS and Apple Mac computers) you should always check first to see whether your existing apps will be compatible.
