I have Photoshop Elements using Mac version Tahoe 26.4.1 and when trying to open it, I now get a message saying Adobe Photoshop cannot run on this computer because the minimum system requirement is Mac OS X version.  My version is the latest. What can I do too resolve the problem please?

    You cannot do anything.  Your version of PSE (2020) simply won’t work with your os.


    Here is a link to a free trial version of pse 2026:

    “calling someone at Adobe” will not do any good.  Your version has been unsupported for about 5 years now.

    Thanks for your reply Glenn. It gets expensive trying to do these things, this has happened because I purchased a new computer. It makes me wonder whether I should keep my old computer just to use Elements. Best wishes. Brian

    Vast improvements with the new program.   Use the link I posted earlier, see how you like it, then decide.
