I cannot think of any other area of commerce where you are buying this level of obsolescence. If I buy a car, or a TV, or a washing machine, in 3 years time they may not be state of the art but at least they still work. I dropped $100 on Elements 15 3 years ago because I hate Adobe's subscription model. I've just bought a new Macbook with Catalina and it won't install. So that's $100 for 2 years of use. Absolutely shocking.

Yes, Apple push astonishing levels of obsolescence, and everyone loves them (indeed, may people blame every other software maker for this, not Apple! Truly they can do no wrong!!). They decide Catalina would stop running all old apps, more than about a year old. They've announced it will happen again in a couple of years. This is a strong reason for subscription software, which means you can keep up with Apple's latest obsolescence.

I've had no problem running Photoshop Elements 15 on a Macbook Air running Catalina.

If you have an old app running and upgrade to Catalina, sometimes it works OK for a while. The signs are, Apple intend to round up and stop all these old apps running, they never meant to let them work. You won't be able to reinstall.

Or you can roll back the operating system to a version that supports Photoshop Elements 15.

Hi

You'll need to upgrade to Photoshop Elements 2020

Really?  I bought Elements in 2017 and you already expect me to buy a new version just so I can install it?

That’s Apple’s plan. All part of the Joy of Mac.  All apps older than 2029 are obsolete
