Want to use Photoshop in El Capitan

Then both Apple and Adobe should work together to solve the problem. I'm not particularly working on Photos, I've used Aperture till Apple dropped it and now I'm using Lightroom. All I know is El Capitan still has numerous incompatibilities. As it's a Windows Phone, have you tried to get support from Microsoft ?

It is NOT Apple's responsibility to hold the hands of every 3rd party application developer.

It is THEIR responsibility to sure that THEIR apps are compatible with any OS upgrade.

Developer versions of El Capitan were available for nearly a year for developers to

test and fix their apps. If they chose not to, that is THEIR problem.

FWIW, Adobe likely does not want to bother with older versions of their products any way

because they want people to become enslaved to their ball and chain Creative Cloud subscription

model!!

I've said the same thing to Adobe, but it's Apple's responsibility if they didn't mind stopping Aperture nearly without notice, saying Photos was enough for Apple users. I know Adobe had time to test El Capitan. If people want to have a WindowsPhone then it's Microsoft's problem to give support to their customers. And I personally provided a link to the discussion about Lightroom an Photoshop, so don't mistake and shout at me, I'm NOT defending ANY company (seems to me Caps Lock is a key you love). Advising people to ask Adobe or Microsoft why it doesn't work is just what I did.
And it's simply a fact, Microsoft and Adobe will work with Apple if they need support, Apple won't let customers leave them either.

It is entirely up to Apple which products they make and which ones they stop making, Aperture has been dropped (and not without warning) it has not been replaced. Apple just got out of the highend Photography market. Photos is a free replacement for iPhoto.

Can I ask why you say this is an Adobe question? Everything worked fine until the upgrade to El Capitan. Adobe didn't change. To my mind that makes it an upgrade issue.

Adobe does not support CS4 in 10.11, in fact they don't support it at all, it was dropped from Adobe's lifecycle several years ago.

Apple has changed their OS, and one or more of those changes will have an effect on this legacy software you are trying to use.

This presents you with several choices:

Go back to an instance of your OS when it worked with a version of CS4 that supported it. If you have a Time Machine backup, or the old installer you can do this, or upgrade to a version of Photoshop that is officially supported at this time (CC2015), or done some research and determine if you needed to use CS4 you should not have upgraded to OS 10.11 without an exit strategy, or install a legacy OS on a secondary partition or another drive, however none of these solutions will work until you take OS 10.11 AND Adobe CS4 out of the same equation.

if you feel Apple should suddenly decide they need to fix an issue for a 9 year old piece of software they don't develop and potentially open the door to them fixing all other legacy issues with 3rd party abandonware and possible cause more stability problems elsewhere post here and it's not advised you hold your breath.

apple.com/feedback.

Thank you for your most courteous reply. BTW I am using CS6, and responded here as others have the same end problem. A simple response saying that it's not an issue with CC2015 would have helped more folk who have the same issue.

But thanks also for the additional advice, I was going blue in the face holding my breath and hopefully am now ok.

Adobe has discovered that Bridge CC with Mac OS 10.11 (El Capitan) doesn't work with many USB devices to import images (iPhone included): https://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/bridge-and-el-capitan.html

Apple has stated: "The USB stack is completely redesigned to increase stability and performance compared to Mac OS 10.10. Applications and third-party drivers for vendor-specific USB devices may require modification." This is something APPLE changed, that hopefully Adobe can respond to, for now there is no real fix. I use this workaround:

Import the images with Apple's Photos app

• Choose File > Export > Export Unmodified Original

Save the files where you want them

• Batch rename the images and add metadata in Adobe Bridge

There is also a workaround for some Android-based devices, you can change the device mode from PTP/MTP to USB mode/Mass storage mode (see instructions on how to do this from your device vendor). This article on the same issue with Photoshop Elements has instructions: https://helpx.adobe.com/elements-organizer/kb/elements-organizer-does-not-recogn ize-some-devices---mac-os-10-1.html

Thank you so much Kelly!!! I spent quite a while on Chat to Adobe who couldn't help with this. Now I can fiiiiiiinally open raw images in Elements 13 again (having been unable to since iPhoto became Photos OS X). You have made my day 🙂
