Can I use my Adobe apps in macOS Catalina 10.15?
We've updated most current apps to 64-bit architecture. The following versions work in Catalina, but have these known issues.
Jul 23, 2021 Download Adobe Photoshop 2021 for Mac OS X free from the link in the description. #AdobePhotoshop2021Mac #AdobePhotoshop2021MacFree #AdobePhotoshop2021MacDownload The Adobe Photoshop 2021 on Mac family of products is the ultimate playground for bringing out the best in your digital images, transforming them into anything you can imagine. Photoshop CS6 with apparently latest updates (13.0.6) refused to launch for me - circle with a line through it icon. So I had a poke in the package contents for Photoshop CS6.app and I was able to successfully launch it from the unix file and start doing things. Not tested extensively yet, but.

Most older Adobe apps were created using 32-bit architecture and do not work in Catalina. We have no plans to update apps that we no longer support or develop. The following table lists some common 32-bit Adobe apps that are not compatible with Catalina. (It is not a comprehensive list of all older 32-bit Adobe apps.)

Uninstall 32-bit apps before upgrading to Catalina
Before you upgrade to Catalina, we recommend that you uninstall your 32-bit Adobe apps. Older uninstallers are also 32-bit apps and don't work in Catalina.
If you already upgraded to Catalina, you can use the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool to uninstall older versions of Creative Cloud apps.
If you've kept Acrobat DC or Creative Cloud apps up to date, they are already 64-bit compliant.
You can update your apps using the Creative Cloud desktop app. See how to update your apps to the latest versions.
