Is El Capitan compatible with Adobe CS5?
Is El Capitan compatible with Adobe CS5?
Really sorry about all the aggravation you went through w/ this. I'm with you, as long as I continue to use CS5, I will NOT upgrade to
El Capitan.

Deep joy, after all the hassle of reverting back to Yosemite from a Time Machine back-up and then copying back all the files. mail etc I'd created since moving to El Capitan, I have a machine that works.
Thanks to apple & adobe I've lost nearly two days trying to make CS5 work on ELC and all the palaver of upgrading and then reverting back.
If you use CS5 don't upgrade to ELC until there is a clear announcement that the incompatibility is fixed.
I refuse to pay the extortionate fees charges by adobe for the subscriptions system. If you start you are locked in and the minute you stop paying all your work is lost due to backward incompatibility and ELC didn't make it worth it either.

Totally agree, it will be inevitable as I will need to upgrade my computer in the near future which means I will have to upgrade
the OS too. I do like the Affinity option.
Here is what Adobe claims the compatibly matrix is for CS and OS X
That compatibility matrix is for photoshop. PS CS5 seemed to work fine on ELC, the problem is Illustrator and InDesign I think although I never use it much.
FWIW, there are many good alternatives to Adobe products. As far as programs becoming "obsolete" because of changes to an operating system, that has always been the case.
EL Capitan works with CS 6 Photoshop, Illustrator (once you load the right Java script), Premiere, Acrobat Pro, InDesign. One might assume therefore, CS5 too?
EL Capitan works with CS 6 Photoshop, Illustrator (load right Java script), Premiere, Acrobat Pro, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Flash. However, AfterEffects is getting and error on launch. Assume same CS5?
