Tried to install PSE 2019 on my new Mac - no chance!

Question

Hey,

My god old MacBook Pro 2016 died a few weeks ago so I needed to replace it. Sadly I did not manage to install Photoshop Elements on my new MacBook Pro 2023 14" M2 Pro, 16GB RAM, Ventura 13.2.1.

I downloaded the installer from my Adobe Account. While installing the software, it said „Adobe Elements 2019 Organizer" ist beschädigt und kann nicht geöffnet werden. Es empfiehlt sich, das Objekt in den Papierkorb zu bewegen."

No matter if I put the file into trash bin or not, the installation continues.

Afterwards, I tried to open the Photo Editor - it said "Your application install seems to be damaged,

Please reinstall the application."

Reinstalling did not change anything. After reading some threads in this community, I used the CC Cleaner to deinstall all files and install it again - did not work.

Please tell me how I can use the product I purchased on my new Mac! 🙂

No, there is no way to make it work. It has 32 bit parts in it, and MAC killed off any app that has 32 bit stuff in it with Ventura.

Here's a link to a free 30 day trial for PSE 2023- which will work with ventura:

Here is the Adobe KB about compatibilty with macOS Catalina 10.15, the first macOS that Apple deprecated 32 bit applications. So after Catalina came Big Sur, Monterey and your Ventura, none of which can run 32 bit applications.
