I'm currently using Photoshop Elements 11 - no problem in Mac Mojave ...it looks now to be impossible to use that if I updated to Catalina .... is there any possible workaround with Catalina to still use Elements 11 ... or is it best just not to update my OS .... thanks for any advice .... I really want to update ... but don't want to use my current version of Elements ....

    Apple says Catalina will not run any 32 bit applications, so as far as i know, there are no workarounds to use 32 bit software.

     

    Best to either stay with Mojave or buy Photoshop elements 2020 or whatever it's going to called when it comes out in a few weeks or so, if you want to upgrade to Catalina.

    same question here, hoping for (at least a discounted) upgrade from elements 11, so I can continue using elements and upgrade to catalina. but from what I read we're out of luck and just need to purchase a new version or not upgrade...?

    Yes, you'll need Elements 2020 to run it on Catalina.

      I'm posting as well in hopes of a more palatable answer. They have released Elements 2019 but its's $99. So us long time Elements users (I have 10) need to buy a completely new program?
