Adobe Photoshop CS6 Revealed: A Fix for the Frustrating Issue

As a freelancer who works from home, I know the importance of having a reliable backup system in place. Recently, I encountered a frustrating issue with my old clapped-out iMac, which had an older version of Adobe Photoshop installed - CS6 to be precise. After upgrading my OS to El Capitan, I was left wondering if there's a way to get Photoshop CS6 working on this new operating system.

The problem is that the app loads fine, but when you try to open it or switch to another app and then come back, you're met with the infamous spinning wheel of doom. Imagine my disappointment when I booted up my newly installed El Capitan OS to find my old faithful CS6 Photoshop didn't want to play.

After trying all the usual disk utility remedies, I decided to take a different approach - upgrading the OS. My 2007 iMac was running Mavericks and had been slowing down over the past year or so. Someone had previously installed Catalina on it, which seemed to have broken its tiny mind! However, after switching to High Sierra with legacy versions of Illustrator and Photoshop, my old machine is much happier.

With a week of headaches behind me, I've finally got my new setup running smoothly. In fact, I've been using a spare Mac from work, courtesy of their Adobe CC account. While it's nice to have the latest software, there are times when you need to rely on older versions - especially for specific projects.

So, if you're facing similar issues with Photoshop CS6 and El Capitan, here's what worked for me:

* Upgrade your OS to High Sierra (or later) - this might resolve the issue

* Try using Terminal commands or other workarounds (although I didn't need to resort to these)

* Consider upgrading to a newer version of Photoshop (if possible)

For those who use Adobe Photoshop CS6 and have issues with compatibility, this article aims to provide a helpful fix. In my case, upgrading the OS resolved the problem, allowing me to continue using my beloved old machine.

I hope you find this information useful!
