The reason pse 9 doesn't work with macOS Catalina is pse 9 is a 32 bit application and apple removed the ability to use 32 bit applications in macOS Catalina.

Hi there,

 

Sorry that you cannot load Photoshop Elements 9 on your MacBook Pro.

 

Photoshop Elements 9 is not compatible with macOS Mojave as it is an old application. See the system requirements here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/system-requirements.html#Olderversions

 

You may still try checking the troubleshooting steps mentioned in this article https://helpx.adobe.com/elements-organizer/kb/unable-to-launch-elements-mac.html and let us know if that helps?

 

Thanks,

Akash

Thanks for your info Akash, but I have been using PS Elements with Mojave for last 2 years 

without any issues till now.  How come it was not supposed to work but has worked fine all
of this time ?
