I have a 2020 Macbook pro air running Big Sur and I have Adobe elements 2022. I have not allowed this laptop to upgrade out of fear of loosing Elements. I would like to upgrade to Ventura but kind find any assurance with regard to Elements. What is the latest?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.6
Thank you VikingOSX, This is what I have been led to believe as well. Yesterday I did a chat with Adobe and had them email me the conversation. This is from that:

Thank you for staying connected. Yes, Photoshop Elements 2022 is compatible with Mac OS Ventura.

so if I upgrade to Ventura I will not lose or have any problems with Elements. No special actions on my part?

I wasn't asking for the Adobe transcript and I based my compatibility comment on Adobe's own System Requirements for Elements 2022 which does not include Ventura among the supported operating systems. Elements 2022 may work on Ventura, or it may behave differently than you expect as Adobe did not design it, nor adapt it to Ventura. They did that for Elements 2023 and 2024.
Worse case scenario: You run PE 2022 on Ventura 13.6, Adobe wasn't telling you the whole story, and you realize that you will need to upgrade to PE 2024.
Adobe does not support Photoshop Elements 2022 on Ventura. You would need to upgrade to PE 2023 or PE 2024 for Ventura support. This is around an $80 USD upgrade expense. Talk to Adobe.
Thanks again VikingOSX. I called Adobe today and was going to upgrade, but they again assured me PE 2022 would work with Ventura. So once I back my computer up I am going to risk my sanity and upgrade to Ventura.
Elements compatibility with Ventura
