1 - install an old, compatible operating system on your Mac

2 - buy all new programs that are fully 64bit

Legacy Creative Suite is not compatible with 64-bit Catalina, Big Sur or Monterey.  Sorry.

As @John T Smith said, you need an old computer OS that can support old software.  Failing that, these are your options.

Photoshop Elements or Premier Elements (approx $100, no subscription needed).

(It needs to be an old computer, because a new Mac computer won't run an old system. Apple have forced your hand: when you upgrade your Mac you must budget for all new apps. It's part of the Joy Of Mac!)

Horrible advice typically provided by Adobe and its apologists.

Invest in Parallels that will run Windows 10, 11 et. al. and trade for a Windows version of CS4, CS5 and CS6.

It is better to invest in a virtual Windows system than line the pockets of Adobe.

Thank the Lord that I purchase both Win and Mac versions of key Adobe products many years ago.

Adobe's effort the last decade is less on adding services and more on making sure its legacy products fail so people have to pay twice for the same product.

This is a very bad business mode.

it may be better now, but several years ago, i tried a virtual os and while it worked, it was so slow it was very frustrating.

Better and cheaper alternative.

Buy a virtual Windows program to run on mac.  Parallels, Azure, etc.  

Look for legacy CS4, CS5, CS6 Windows versions.  Intall on the Windows virtual side.

Do not line Adobe pockets.

Do not condone Adobe's customer unfriendly efforts.

Adobe is now attempting to charge twice for the same product.

This is offensive.

Adobe did not change old programs to make them stop working

The fault here is 100% due to Apple not providing a way for old programs to run on new operating systems
