Question

elements 11 and Apple OS

If I upgrade to Mac OS High Sierra version 10.13.1 will Photoshop elements 11 work on it?

Apple in the not too distant future will not support 32 bit software. When this occurs, will Elements 11 be compatible with 64 bit?

    I have completely wiped my Mac and upgraded to High Sierra 10.13.3. I have re-downloaded and re-installed PSE 11 and although I can manipulate images, i can't Save them, Place files, Save As, Save to Web, Open, Open Recents... basically anything talking between my computer and the program no longer functions. Chatting with Adobe support was 100% useless and they just told me to search the forum. Trying to figure out what to do next.

    I doubt PSE11 will ever work OK on your computer.

    The only reliable alternative is to upgrade to PSE 2018.

    I actually have pse 11 on mac OS High sierra 10.13.1 and seems to work pretty well. Haven't tried every single function, but i haven't had pse 11 crash.

    As far as 32 bit apps, rumor has it that sometime in 2018, probably the next mac os version will quit running 32 bit apps, but we'll just have to see as the time gets closer and apple lets out more about 32 apps.

    If it does come to pass that apple will no longer allow 32 bit apps to run, then that includes pse 11, which is a 32 bit application.
