Catalina and Adobe Creative Suite Apps

[Sdahe]

Hello,

Been looking around but can't find info about this.. does anyone knows if the Adobe Creative Suite (CC 2019) apps work fine in Mac OS Catalina?...

- Photoshop
- Indesign
- Illustrator
- Acrobat
- Dreamweaver

Thanks

Photoshop and InDesign work, can't test the others.

CC 2018 works fine, and by extension so does 2019. Some plugins without a verified developer status may not work though.

Acrobat works for me. Make sure you’re fully updated.

I have been using Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere, Media Encoder, since beta began.
Currently in LR and PS on Catalina as I type this.

The AAM apps (Adobe Application Manager) programs are still 32 bit. I don't know whether those are just old cruft or whether they're still needed to install/update/remove CS apps?

Photoshop and Lightroom Classic have some known issues: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-and-macos-catalina.html

Hope so. I saw this story and eh..I had to think about updating. Maybe issues with 3rd party plug ins, but some other Adobe problems. I do use Lens Profiles.

I have Adobe PS (20.0), LR, Premiere 13.0.1, Illustrator 23.0.1

*And I DO NOT blame Apple/Mac for Adobe issues, I blame Adobe. BIG company with expensive programs. These issues seem to pop up every year with a new OS.

C'mon, betas have been out for months - Adobe...get with it!

Don't Update to macOS Catalina Yet if You Use Photoshop or Lightroom

If you're a Mac user who regularly uses Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom Classic CC, we don't recommend updating your computer to macOS Catalina just yet.

"For Lightroom, there are only two relatively minor issues:

• Tethering Issues with Nikon: Lightroom is not able to detect Nikon cameras when the camera is turned ON after invoking the “Start Tether Capture…” command.
  
  
• Lens Profile Creator is Broken: The Lens Profile Creator is currently 32-bit, but we are investigating updating it to be a 64-bit utility.
  
  
• In Photoshop, the story is a bit worse:
  • File Naming Doesn’t Work Right: Changing the file extension in the drop down doesn’t change the extension in the file name. You need to add the file type into the file name manually.
    
    
  • Some Plug-Ins are Broken: Plug-ins that are quarantined will return a Photoshop error that “the file was not found” or an OS error that says that the plug-in “can’t be opened because its integrity cannot be verified. This happens with plug-ins that are not notarized that are downloaded from the web or installed by other methods such as drag & drop.
    
    
  • Older Droplets Don’t Work: Older versions of Photoshop create 32-bit droplets, which are not compatible with macOS Catalina.
    
    
  • ExtendScript Toolkit is Broken: The ExtendScript Toolkit, which is a 32-bit application, will no longer work on macOS 10.15. It’s being replaced by this tool.
    
    
  • Lens Profile Creator is Broken: The Lens Profile Creator is currently 32-bit, but we are investigating updating it to be a 64-bit utility.

Photoshop is asking for keychain access. Does anybody else have this problem?
