No, CS6 will not work in macOS Monterey.

 

Here are the current plans:

Note that there is a special price for the Photoshop annual plan, and also that there is a Black Friday / Cyber Monday special for the first year of the All Apps annual plan that runs through Dec. 3.

Sadly too much of cs6 is 32 bit. The last Mac OS it can run on is Mojave (10.14) that I'm running on my specifically purchased 2019 iMac. LR 5.7 ran on Catalina, but not on Big Sur, even on an intel Mac. There are several alternatives to photoshop on the Mac like Photomator, Acorn, Pixelmator.

@art hackett 

You might also try Photoshop Elements, which has a perpetual license. You can get a 30-day trial before deciding.

I see that it's 25% off through January 2.

The latest version the agent told me it will work in is Mojave, it skips shipps certain versions of macOS and then it runs in a version of Mojave, and that is the last version it will run in, and in nothing newer.
