is Elements 2019 "optimized" for Mac now?

[KeithJamesC]

Is the basic Elements 2019 [for $99.00 ($79.00 upgrade)] optimized for Mac so I'll stop getting those messages about future versions not working on the Mac?????  THANKS!

PSE 2020 is expected soon. The Mac messages relate to future OS updates so current software will still work and the warnings can be ignored for now. But there is always a risk to third party apps, not just Adobe apps when changing the OS.

Hi 99jon: Is 2020 going to be optimized?

Anybody who knows anything about an Adobe application that is not yet offficially released is not allowed to talk about that version.

Yes according to adobe pse 2020 should be "optimized" and work on macOS Catalina.

Thank you Jeff. I just read this link and it was very helpful. I didn't even know the Catalina release coming soon was THE change time. I don't think Apple has conducted this change well. Nonetheless, now I know and I turned off any possibility that my computer might update automatically! and I await for Elements 2020 release as well as plans to update everything possible that needs it before installing 10.15 Catalina!
