I've been searching the forums and Google for what seems like weeks trying to make sure that everything is going to be compatible with High Sierra before I pull the trigger and upgrade. All of the threads are clogged up with people using old version of either CS or CC before the latest app releases. So the question I and everyone I know wants to know is:
Are the 2018 CC apps that Adobe just released compatible with iOS 10.3 HIGH SIERRA? Should I Upgrade if I have a CC all apps membership?
My goto apps are: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign & Premiere. Can I make this happen?
I don't know what apps you are referencing. I updated my Java while in 10.12.6. It just popped up and asked for an update. You may have to go to whatever web page allows you a Java update.
My Setup: I'm running a MacBook Pro 2016 (w/o Touch Bar, 2 USB-C ports, etc.), 16 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD (fully loaded).
I upgraded Adobe Illustrator CC and to High Sierra and my machine completely freezes after about 10 - 20 minutes. No keyboard shortcuts work for force quit the program and the only solution is to nuke the system (hold down the power button).
.. could not be more frustrated by the loss of productivity and glitch b/w Adobe & OS High Sierra (I'm saving my work every 10 seconds and quitting the app every 5 minutes, yet it still happens sometimes).
DO NOT UPGRADE TO HIGH SIERRA!!! I cannot get Photoshop CC to work with High Sierra and am losing my mind! I've been able to edit photos but when I click save, Photoshop crashes and everything is lost. It happens over and over and I've tried with Photoshop CC 2015, 2015.5, and 2018. I'm at my wits end.
I have a backup Mid 2012 MBP running 10.13.1 It runs CC2018 apps without problems so far. That said, it's a spare. My main MBP still runs 10.12.6 and probably won't be updated until .2 or .3
This is good advice I got from a Windows tester/user:
Conscientious folks who need critical things to keep working don't just change out a working OS and complain to application makers that their having done so breaks their applications. They test, they research. THEN they migrate when it's safe to do so.
That should also apply to Adobe apps. Opt to keep the old version around if you upgrade and keep it as a backup. Sometimes plugins and extensions are slow to update.
I installed CC 2018 and everything (PP, AE, PS, AI, AU) runs perfectly so far. 2018 is an improvement on 2017.
I suggest update Adobe but not OS. I've used these apps extensively for the last week with no issue.

15" MBP 2017 (touch bar) 16GB. OS High Sierra.
Also CC 2018. l installed/set up yesterday and haven't had any lingering issues. There was a crash with PP with I started up and some media was missing. It crashed twice, even while relinking media, but now that I've got it running, no problem with PP or AE after 12 hours of work (rotoscoping, editing, filters).
The performance between the two machines. The difference between Sierra & High Sierra isn't meaningful.
The newer is faster due to hardware rendering AE, but for the time being I'd say update Adobe and wait on OS High Sierra.
Update: I have taken the plunge and updated to High Sierra on my production iMac 5K (2015), but haven't tried taking any of the Adobe programs through their paces. I will report back as often as possible. I may also start a Slack channel if there is interest. Let me know. That way, we can share our experiences. -Ken
I can confirm that Mac OS High Sierra has created so many problems with every version of Adobe CC that I have. The programs close unexpectedly, choke on basic functions, freeze and sometimes won't even open at all (opens and then immediately crashes with error messages of unexpected failings).
My coworker has NOT upgraded and has zero issues.
Really disappointed in Adobe that this issue has not been addressed. I have downloaded all the latest versions.
Please tell us what your hardware is, and have you updated to the latest apps from Adobe? I was having the same cursor glitch and also an issue with changing font sizes in the text panel, but the update solved both of those issues. And that was only on my MacBook Air (i7 2017 refresh)
I would not update to High Sierra at this time. I work at a university with 5 iMac computer labs and I am not taking any of them to High Sierra until all of the issues have been resolved. That being said, I know people who have upgraded to High Sierra. I did not see any issues on my personal machine at home (MBP 2015), but I have seen issues with people at work. That being said... WAIT. DON'T DO IT.
I've had nothing but issues with trying to even get High Sierra to install on my 2011 Macbook Pro. just keeps having me restart.... Any one know how help on how to proceed with that??
& secondly I have a macbook air (2015/2016) and it's having issues downloading Adobe CC, (I already have CS6, but it's not responding to Camera Raw files, from a Canon 7D mark ii... Any one know anything about that?
