Photoshop Elements 2018 crashes under HighSierra OS 10.13.1, just after opening. Problems. Updated.
Dec 24, 2017 There are a few reports of older versions of Adobe Photoshop and Photoshop Elements not working on High Sierra. I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 from 2011 and I haven't had any trouble with it so far on High Sierra. I don't use it very often but wondering if anyone has had problems with it. Apr 09, 2020 Adobe recommends that customers using older versions of Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements (versions 2019 or earlier) DO NOT upgrade to macOS 10.15 Catalina. If you have installed the Elements products and have not upgraded to macOS 10.15 Catalina, the Elements products will function normally.
