Will Adobe Photoshop CS6 run on MacOS Mojave?

I have looked at Adobe and Apple support sites, and I really just want to know if Adobe Photoshop CS6 will run on Mojave. Answers seem somewhat vague and qualified.


At this time I would rather stay with High Sierra than be forced onto a subscription platform to use Photoshop.

iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)

You can clone your main volume to an external drive and boot the OS from it. It will be working slower if the external is a spinning hard drive connected via USB 3.0 (and fast if it's a SSD via Thunderbolt), but it should be fully functional. You can upgrade that external install then to see what works, keeping your main hard drive install intact.

For drive cloning, free versions of SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner should suffice.

Thanks. I checked that site and it has a "?" for Photoshop CS6 Extended, which is what I have. Apparently, that just means "no data", but I'm still wondering as I've seen other posts on other sites that suggest the programs aren't compatible. I'm certain Adobe wants folks to "upgrade" to their subscription platform rather than patch CS6.


Thanks for your response. Good luck.
