Elements compatibility

Question

I'm trying to figure out if 2023 Photoshop Elements will run on an intel Core i5 processor.

The Adobe website says intel 6th generation or newer but I can't find any Macs which list that processor.

Thanks

I think it more depends on having a macOS that is compatible with photoshop elements 2023.

Don't know what specific functionality in photoshop elements might require a intel 6th generation

processor and i'm sure it's optimal to have the intel 6th generation processor or newer, but in my

experience not having an intel 6th generation processor or newer won't keep photoshop elements

2023 from being quite usable.

For example, i have a 2012 MacBook Pro that has a third generation Intel i5 processor running

macOS Monterey 12.7.1 and photoshop elements 2023 seems to run fine on it.

If you already have a copy of pse 2023 you can always install it and see how it runs, otherwise

you can see if the current pse 2024 version that Adobe is selling as of this post will run.
