Hi there,

Photoshop Elements 9 is a very old version and would not receive any further updates.

The application has many components that were created using 32-bit, hence is not compatible with macOS Catalina since the new macOS does not support 32-bit software. 

Please check the links below for more information on this:

To put it another way, Catalina needs all new apps. You must buy again.
