Ich habe auf meinem MacBook Pro M3 Max bisher adobe Photoshop Elements Editor am Laufen gehabt.

Nun kam das UpDate von Apple auf MacOs 26 Tahoe...und nix geht mehr!!

Ich bekomme folgende Fehlermeldung:

It took me some time to get PSE 2020 installed on macOS Tahoe: cleaning with the downloaded Creative Cloud Clean up tool after migration and then only a new download of the dmg package from my product page in my Adobe Account worked. Then Organizer started as expected, but when choosing the Editor an error message comes up immediately, stating that at least macOS X is required. Obviously Tahoe macOS 26 is fitting to that requirement. I hope PSE is not just looking for a macOS pre-number 10???

 

I hope someone can help please?

@uweh73374318 you'd be better off reporting the issue on the Photoshop Elements forum

Hallo zusammen, 

 

ich habe mir ein MacBook gekauft und wollte darauf eben PSE 2022 installieren. Leider bekomme ich die gleiche Fehlermeldung. 

 

Es kann doch nicht sein, dass man jetzt nach 4 Jahren gezwungen wird auf das neue PSE umzusteigen, welches man nur 3 Monate nutzen kann??

 

Wie steht denn Adobe zu einem FAIREN Upgradepreis? (Nicht 80,99 €!)

 

Viele Grüße,

Patrick

That incompatibility is due to decisions Apple made, has nothing to do with adobe.   that 80.00 euro price is probably a discount price.  In the U.S. it's on sale for $59 right now but that price goes away in a few hours.

It's unreasonable to expect any company to make an unsupported program compatible with the latest MAC OS- there simply is no monetary reason to do so. 


Users of previous versions are  typically offer a $20 discount during the checkout process.
When it's $59 in the U.S. previous users do not get a $20 discount.   

The euro price you listed is $94- I assume you have extra taxes and other things that are inlcuded in that price.
