Are legacy/perpetual versions of Photoshop, compatible with macOS Ventura?
No, legacy/perpetual versions of Photoshop were not designed or tested to work on macOS 13.0 (Ventura). They are not supported in any way for use on macOS Ventura.
Adobe does not recommend that customers using old versions of Photoshop upgrade to macOS Ventura. Incompatible versions will not display in the ‘Older Versions’ list within the Creative Cloud desktop app.
Older versions use 32-bit licensing components and installers. Therefore, they cannot be installed and activated after upgrading to macOS Ventura. Upgrading to macOS Ventura with an older version already installed on your computer may allow the application to function in some capacity; however, you'll not be able to reinstall or activate the application after the macOS upgrade.
Before upgrading to macOS Ventura, you may uninstall the older versions, as the uninstaller will not work after upgrading. If you've already upgraded to macOS Ventura, you can use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to uninstall older versions.
