I migrated all my data/apps to a new Macbook Pro 16" with the M-1 chip. I cannot open PSE 2021.

When I click on the PSE 2021 app, I get the home page. I then click on Photo Editor and it says loading and then just stops. I am not prompted to download Rosetta 2. Sometimes I'm prompted to update/purchase/fix Adobe Creative Cloud but I have never subscribed to that before and don't wish to pay more. I re-installed PSE 2021 from the disc I purchased but the same conditions apply.

Hi,

Photoshop Elements 2021 is not compatible with Macs with M1-Chip. You need to install Photoshop Elements 2022, as the latest version is compatible with macs with M1-chip.

Thanks!

Thanks for your response Somya!

My understanding is that when I would try to open PSE 2021 that I'd be prompted to import Rosetta 2. Supposedly Rosetta 2 enables apps that were made for the Intel chip to work with the M-1 chip. But I was never prompted to get Rosetta 2 nor was I able to bring it in independently. Are you sure that just doesn't work or could there be some way of bringing in Rosetta 2 and seeing if it works?

Best wishes,

Elliot
