Photoshop Elements is not working on macOS 26.0.1, says minimum version is required

I did a little research for you (you can do this by simply asking Google if Photoshop Elements 2022 will run on Mac OS Tahoe) and the reply I got was no, your version of Elements (2022) is simply too old. You can blame Adobe for that one, so if you really need Adobe Elements then it's time to buy version 2025 or switch to another app, there are many available on the Mac App Store!!!

Adobe only supports the three current versions of macOS. So you would need Photoshop Elements 2025 as noted above. Works fine on Tahoe btw.

FYI, Adobe no longer sells Photoshop Elements as a "perpetual" application. Now it has a "3-year term license" – after 3 years, large parts of it stop working for good, whether it's still compatible with the latest macOS or not.

From the FAQ for Photoshop Elements 2026 (emphasis mine):

"The license enables you to use Photoshop Elements for a full 3-year term. It’s a one-time purchase with no additional fees. The license is non-renewing — it expires 3 years after redemption. When your 3-year term license expires, Photoshop Elements will no longer be accessible. However, you’ll still be able to access your media catalog in the Elements Organizer indefinitely."

Also I wonder what happens with all the pictures from the Photoshop Elements program.

That depends on where the pictures are stored. If they’re stored on your Mac, they’ll stay right there. If you’re using Adobe’s cloud storage, check your Adobe account.

I did have PSE 2025 on Tahoe and it worked just fine. However, I removed most everything Adobe except Reader. I just wasn't using it enough. I might consider PSE 2026 in the future. I'm certain it will work in Tahoe since PSE 2025 does.

Your welcome and good luck.

So are you saying you have Elements 2025 and it is working with Tahoe 26.0.1? I am thinking about purchasing Elements 2026 and could not find anywhere if it worked with Tahoe. Thanks
