Dead In The Water ...

Since updating my MacBook to BigSur I'm no longer able to use Photoshop/Elements.

 

"The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information".

 

Are Adobe doing anything about this? Becuase until they do, I'm dead in the water.

If your version of Photoshop Elements is not supported on Big Sur, you will need to udgrade to the newest version.

Can't upgrade the software if you can't access it, due to a dodgy update.

The only thing  for you to do is to purchase the latest version. It is that sample.  Adobe isn't going to "fix it" because there is nothing to fix.  They will never ever make PSE 2020, or any earlier version compatible with big sur.   The killed off support for apps that were 32 bit, or had 32 bit components- like what PSE 2020 has.

Best to post in the Photoshop Elements forum (this is the Photoshop forum) – I suggest you mention your version of Elements .

I just choose from the list, but whatever.
