Does Photoshop Work on macOS Catalina?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 9:29 pm

Since the release of macOS Catalina, there have been a number of reports about Photoshop not working properly on the new operating system. While some users have found that the app runs without any issues, others have experienced crashes, freezes, and other problems.

So, does Photoshop work on macOS Catalina? The short answer is yes, but there are definitely some bugs that need to be ironed out. If you’re experiencing any issues, your best bet is to update to the latest version of Photoshop ( CC 2020) and hope that Adobe has already addressed the problem.

One of the most common issues that users have reported is that Photoshop fails to launch after upgrading to Catalina. This can be frustrating, but there are a few things you can try to fix the problem. First, make sure that you’re running the latest version of Photoshop.

PRO TIP: MacOS Catalina (10.15) is not currently compatible with Adobe Photoshop CC. We recommend that you do not upgrade to Catalina until Adobe releases an update for Photoshop CC.

If you’re not, update and try again. If that doesn’t work, try resetting your preferences. You can do this by going to Edit > Preferences > General and clicking the “Reset Preferences” button.

Another issue that has been reported is that some tools and menu items are missing in Photoshop after upgrading to Catalina. This is likely due to incompatible plugins or extensions.

To fix this problem, try disabling all of your plugins and extensions and then restarting Photoshop. If that doesn’t work, try uninstalling and then reinstalling Photoshop.

Overall, Photoshop does work on macOS Catalina, but there are still some bugs that need to be fixed. If you’re having any problems, make sure you’re running the latest version of the app and try resetting your preferences or disabling plugins and extensions.
