Latest update today (25.7) claims to still be compatible with macOS 11.7.1 but not for me. Tried unistall/reinstall with no luck. Going back to 25.6 works fine.
I was also using the beta, but can't remember the last version I opened. Regardles, the beta no longer works either, same error message that is attached.
Is this my issue or did 25.7 outgrow macOS Big Sur?
I'm running Mac OS 12.7.4 (Monterey). 2023 version of Photoshop was working fine. Then I made the mistake of updating to 2024. This version repeatedly crashes on startup despite removal of preferences and every other "fix" out there. Uninstalled and attempted to install a 2023 version of Photoshop and none of those work either, now. Anyone else have this problem?
It appears from the crash logs that Adobe complied this latest version of Photoshop to require a newer version of macOS. I see the system requirements have not been updated BUT the page for Adobe Camera RAW has been, and it requires Monterey. Perhaps that is the problem?

Hi there. Based on the error message I got and that i found on this thread, it appears that Photoshop 25.7 was compiled with a target macOS version of 12.0, which is macOS Monterey. This discrepancy between the target macOS version and the actual macOS version we're using (Big Sur) could be the root cause of the problem.
It's understandable that this situation has caused confusion, especially considering that Adobe claimed compatibility with macOS 11.7.1 in the update notes for Photoshop 25.7. However, it seems that there might have been a mistake or oversight in the compilation process, leading to the application being incompatible with macOS Big Sur.
In terms of resolution, reverting back to Photoshop 25.6 seems to have provided a temporary workaround. In the meantime, it would be beneficial to report this issue to Adobe's support team or through their official channels so they can investigate and address it promptly.
It's indeed unusual for such breaking changes to occur without a corresponding version number change in accordance with semantic versioning principles. This suggests that it's likely a mistake rather than an intentional decision.
Hopefully, Adobe will rectify this issue in an upcoming update to ensure compatibility with macOS Big Sur users like us 😀
I'm having same problem with my MacBook Profrom late 2013. When I try to update Big Sur, I receive message that it is up to date. Is my laptop just too old?
A late 2013 MacBook Pro is limited to Big Sur, which is now out of support by Apple and apparently Adobe. You will run into problems with your video card and Photoshop soon enough. Its time to upgrade your computer.
Hi, I have been having the same issues. Would be good to know when Adobe plan to straighten out the issue be it with correcting the system requirement information or with the app actually working on Big Sur 11.7.10. Very annoying as Photoshop Beta was working this morning but I then updated to get rid of the annoying yellow 'You need to update' window and then it would no longer open. I have no idea what Beta version I was on before but none of the three version I have the option to install will open.
Temporaly workaround for run 25.7 on Big Sur is replace /Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2024/Adobe Photoshop 2024.app/Contents/MacOS/Frameworks/AdbePM.framework by these framework from version 25.6.
