Just purchased Photoshop and it tells me I need mac OSVentura 13.5.1 and I have Monterey 12.7.3

How do I upgrade, or can I upgrade to OS Ventura 13.5.1 on my iMac?

The model year of an iMac is available at Apple menu > About This Mac.

A late 2015 iMac can be upgraded to the latest version of Monterey macOS 12 but no later. 

A 2017 iMac can be upgraded to the latest version of Ventura macOS 13 but no later. 

For all of the above, see instructions in: How to download and install macOS - Apple Support  

A 2019 or later iMac can be upgraded to the current version of Sonoma macOS 14. See:How to upgrade to macOS Sonoma - Apple Support
