I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. The requirements state Intel 6th Generation or newer processor will work which seems to indicate it will; however, I have seen that some people had issues with the 2021version. I appreciate any definitive answers!

Correct answer John Waller

Yes, Photoshop Elements 2022 does not yet run natively on the M1.

However it will run with Rosetta 2 installed.

Yes, it will. I just installed it today on my Mac Mini with M1 chip, and it is speedy. I previously installed PSE 2021 and it was so slow that it was unusable. Scrolling down hte display of photos was intolerable. I converted the library from PSE2021 to PSE2022 without issues.

Edit to my previous post that I am successfully using PSE2022 on a M1 Mac Mini -- PSE2022 uses Rosetta 2; it appears PSE2021 uses Rosetta (assuming v1).

Installed fine and ran once for me today on my new MacBook Pro. Now it won't launch. Bounces for a while and then sits there. Has to be force-quit.

Hi,

Please use the latest installer available here to install on M1 machines: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/photoshop-elements-downloads.html

Hi Vipin,

You imply that Photoshop Elements will run on M1 machines. Adobe is clear that it will not:

Can you please clarify.

Thanks, Philip

It looks like Elements 2022 is not yet compatible with M1 chip machines. See this post from an Adobe employee.

Doesn't run natively on M1 but it should still run under Rosetta 2?

Adobe Photoshop Elements won't even install.

I have asked Adobe for a clearer statement to be published. In the meantime, all I can suggest is that you try the free download and see whether it works on your machine.
