High Sierra released over 3 months ago and in fact 10.13.2 is apparently the latest version. According to Roaring Apps and MacRumors, Adobe CS6 (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign etc.) will run just fine on HS but is anyone successfully running it on their machine without any hiccups or tweaks? According to this post, 10.13.1 worked for them but 10.13.2 isn't and that is the current version out there... I will upgrade from Sierra based on your advice.
I understand that maybe hovers are the only thing as I could live with that - because Adobe CS6 seems to be a 32-bit app and Apple seem to be pushing those out with OS upgrades... I would hate to go through all the hoops only to find out it doesn't work reliably.. hence wondering if anyone who uses it a decent bit has seen any issues, thanks!

High Sierra still supports 32-bit apps but will be the last
macOS to do so! The next version (whatever it may be called)
will only support 64-bit.
Photoshop CS6 is 64 bit, CS5 gave you the option to open in 32bit or 64bit.
Only thing that I notice about CS6 is when using the Camera RAW interface the tool tips which appear on hover do not disappear after a couple of seconds which leads to screen clutter. Normal Photoshop screen this does not happen.
To avert this click on Photoshop> Preferences> Interface> and unblock Show Tool Tips.
It works and its lovely.
I just bought a MacBook Pro running High Sierra. My CS6 runs, but Adobe will only let it work in a TRIAL mode. Huh? I've paid for the CS6 software, and I have no interest in paying again through a subscription model.
Is there a way to get CS6 (especially Photoshop) to work in High Sierra in fully authorized mode, is it did in Sierra? Otherwise, it'll be adios to Adobe Photoshop, I reckon.
Wide open to wisdom from wiser folks.
Did you deactivate CS6 on your previous computer? You can only activate it on two devices at a time. If they're already in use, you need to disable it on at least one of them before you can activate it on the new Mac.
I really wish I'd looked this up before 'upgrading' my old Mac to Sierra-anything. Photoshop 6 (hanging on as long as I can) is running very very slowly. Just about EVERYTHING spins the little thinking ball. Sometimes so long I get up and leave. I might delete this OS and go back. But will I be able to install 6 again? :-(.
But will I be able to install 6 again? :-(
As long as you leave yourself an open license, yes. If you do decide to go back to an older version of the OS, open Photoshop (or any CS6 app), and choose to deactivate the suite before erasing the drive.
For the people who say that CS6 is working on High Sierra are you using APFS? Since CS6 predates APFS by many years will there be a compatibility problem updating to APFS? I have to switch to APFS when updating to HS due to being on a solid state HD so I would really like to know if this is going to break things.
I just upgraded to 10.3.3 and am able to run CS6 successfully thus far - fingers crossed! Thanks all for your help.
According to Adobe, High Sierra isn't supported. From some of the other threads I've read, it sounds the hover text doesn't go away when using CS6 with High Sierra.
All CS6 apps are 64 bit. There are no 32 bit options to install.
However, they're old. The last version of the Mac OS officially supported by Adobe for CS6 is Mountain Lion, 10.8.x.
Thanks for your wisdom, everyone. I ended up removing all of CS6 from my new MacBook Pro (leaving it on the old one), and I am going with Affinity Photo instead.
I just upgraded from Sierra to High Sierra 10.13.3 and Photoshop works great.
Thanks for this advice, Kurt, really appreciate it!
I would really like to know this since Sierra has number of bugs that High Sierra has now fixed (sort of like how Snow Leopard fixed much of Leopard) so I would really like to get the upgrade.
