Mac OS 10.15 Catalina Compatible

I've been doing weekly interet searches to see if the Adobe Cloud apps that I use (Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign) are now compatable with the new Catalina OS. Does anybody know anything about this?

I haven't yet updated to this new OS.

May I ask what is your rush to upgrade to Catalina. If the version of OS X you are currently using is working properly why not stay with that until all the bugs in both catalina and the apps you need are worked out.

Just shoot me has a great point. I upgraded to Catalina and there were so many bugs with InDesign that I ended up reinstalling the previous OS (Mojave I believe). That took a full day pretty much on the phone with Apple between all the backing up, reinstalling, etc. etc. Personally I would not upgrade to Catalina until all the Adobe bugs are worked out.

As long as Adobe charges me to use their products on a yearly basis, I expect them to be compatable with Apple.

I blame Apple, and Adobe equally for the non-compatablity issues.

Fair enough too.

Good to read that you're holding off on upgrading to Catalina though. Same here. Caution is paying off in this case in my view.

Catalina is such a profound upgrade (dropping 32 bit support, etc) that it'll take a few updates from Apple and Adobe to iron out the bugs. Apple released several substantial bugfix updates within weeks of Catalina's launch with 10.15.2 due soon.

I'm waiting until 2020.

Catalina works with the latest 2020 apps but there are known compatibility problems which vary by product. Better to wait until all the bugs are sorted. See link below for details.

I only ever use Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator.
Any idea as to when Adobe will catch up to the latest Mac OS?

Have you upgraded to Catalina yet or are you holding off?

Many people on Catalina are already running the very latest versions OK. Issues are being addressed as reports come in. Don't know if we'll have 100% compatibility for several months yet.

The5thbeatle, Hello.
I think this help is useful.

There may still be problems, so you may want to wait for a while before updating to Catalina.

Thanks for replying, but that link you gave me is in Spanish.

For the record, you can always click on the Change Region button at the bottom of Adobe pages to get the English version of that page:
