Can't use the Removal Tool because your system is running Rosetta

Hello - I am running Photoshop v24.7.0 and macOS Ventura 13.2.1 on a MacBook Pro Apple M2 Max chip. I am not able to use the Removal Tool, the error message I get "Can't use the tool because your system is running Rosetta."

A few questions - 1) What is Rosetta; 2) Do I need to run Rosetta; 3) How do I remove Rosetta so that I can run the Removal Tool?

Thank You very much for your assistance!

Hi @Lucia Maresca Rosetta is a Mac OS solution allowing you to run software in old simulated Intel environments. Its used in Photoshop when you have third party plugins that are not compatible with M1/M2 chips.

You can change the setting by quitting Photoshop and then going to the actual app and Get Info on the application. From there you can turn off Rosetta.

After getting the same error message "Can't use the Remove Tool because your system is running Rosetta," I followed this advice, opened the Adobe Photoshop 2024 info in the applications folder-- but I couldn't find anything about Rosetta. Here is a screen shot of the info panel that came up on my computer. Please advise.
