2018 CC Apps Compatibility with High Sierra - Can I Upgrade?

This is soooooo not what I wanted to read.   Of-course my 2017 Macbook Pro 15 is on it's way and will arrive at the end of February.    I currently have a 2015 Macbook and have been excited for the upgrade as it has been slowing down considerably lately. I  Found this thread as I have been looking into Photoshop 2018. ( I am currently using PS 2016)  I know my new MBP will come preloaded with the HS version that is causing everyone issues and I fear PS  will make me throw my new computer out the window.  Any recommendations for a brand new set up?  I do not have time machine so there is no going backwards.    Maybe the solution is a different photo editing program and steering clear of Adobe until they have a fix?  Or returning the Macbook?  Problem being of-course it has been ages since I used a non-Apple computer. . . But it is not encouraging reading all these posts that go back to November, realizing that it has been months without headway on these issues.

MacBook Pro (15" 2017)

Just upgraded to MacOS 10.13.3 yesterday and experiencing all sorts of issues:

- PS froze my computer entirely 2x

- PS "Export As" non-functional. clicking the menu item or pressing the hotkey cmd+opt+shift+w does absolutely NOTHING, no export as screen pops up.

- Sometimes when I minimize the PS screen and reopen it again, my document that was open is gone.

- ID can not change PDF export presets anymore. clicking an item from the dropdown menu does NOTHING, previous choice remains in place. Have to manually set up each export. very annoying.

Seems like both Apple and Adobe have really let go and are just releasing products for the sake of new releases with c0oL nEw fUnCtiOns (like those amazing "rich tips" when hovering over tools); instead of products that are bug free.

it's been many moons since the Op raised this question, and for anyone still curious, here are my recommendations:

If you haven't upgraded your OS to 10.13- don't.

If you haven't updated to Adobe CC 2018- don't do that either.

Neither of these new platforms are ready for a production environment.

I'm using a mix of CC2017 (design apps) and 2018 (video/audio apps). I can report that app stability is a serious problem (particularly PS and PR), old issues persist (ID, AI), and performance has taken a hit (PR, AE, ME). 'updating' this software in our office has been a consistently problematic experience. The details are too numerous; here are the cliff notes:

- As of Feb'18 the CC app itself has not evolved for OS 10.13: App updates fail unless System Integrity Mode is disabled in OSX.

- 2017 problems persist in my test runs with 2018 AI and ID (layer handles missing, pallets not showing, crashes with seemingly random shortcut key combinations).

- 2018 apps i use (PS, LR, PR, AU, AE) all crash for no good reason on a regular basis. I can crash PS with shift+L

- new features have provided no merit in my workflow

- performance is a step backward from 2017 (PR, AE, ME) despite alleged enhancements to Metal usage

- OSX 10.13 itself is not ready for prime time. We've had issues copying files and with finder refreshing files on an Active Directory network

I'm a 2017 MB pro (4gb video/16gb ram) with 15 years experience on mac and adobe. If we could roll our monster back, we'd be using 10.12 on CC2016.

Kill me!!! I have the exact same problem with Illustrator being EXTREMELY slow and it's so frustrating. I thought I was going crazy. My workflow is very fast and this has curbed it from 150% to 15% which is insane! Adobe, seriously address this issue. I tried downloading all the past versions and still now help. Sierra has screwed me and I'm sure Apple won't fix it so get going Adobe. Please.

I have a 2017 iMac fully loaded and a 2015 Macbook Pro Retina and they've both been laggy.

I have a 2011 MacBook Pro with an ssd. Wasn’t working the greatest before updating to 10.13.3, but after updating, premiere and encoder are ungodly slow. I just bought an iMac before I found this forum (needed to update anyway), and it showed up with 10.13.2. Ran similar tests on it compared to the MacBook Pro and it is insanely faster. Hopefully they come up with a fix because I still need the laptop on the road, but don’t want premiere going slower than a snail and crashing when I need it.

I am using a MacBook Pro 15 inch 2017 max out . Adobe premiere keep crashing when I try to import clips , stick with 2017

DON'T DO IT! it's the same as when Mavericks was launched, no compatibility between Apple and Adobe CC. I've only 'upgraded' to high Sierra on my laptop but I'm having all sorts of problems with suitcase and Adobe CC 2018; slow launching and pedestrian speed to do anything. I haven't upgraded my studio machines yet and won't for a while. Come on Apple and Adobe, it shouldn't take the public trial and error to develop a product.

I‘ve upgraded my system (mb pro early 2013, 16gb) to high sierra and have encountered a serious perfomance problem with Adobe Illustrator CC 2018. It runs slow, laggy, freezes and makes working very frustrated. Had to downgrade back to El Capitan with Time Machine. Took me a few hours though.

Do not upgrade to High Sierra yet.

My Photoshop CC 2018 won't even launch at all. Not directly, or through Lightroom like I usually like to do. However, I'm running SIERRA Version 10.12.6 on a 2017 MacBook Pro.

I changed my Ps version to Ps 19.0 through the CC desktop app (very easy, just click the down arrow next to the button that open Ps and select "Other Versions"), and Ps launched okay. I haven't actually tried opening and working on a project just yet, but it at least gets me in the program.

Hopefully, this could help someone in case someone already posted this fix and I hadmissed it (and someone else did too).

Is Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop be able to use in macOS High Sierra 10.13.3?

Please reply,

Cheers
