Thanks for the conversation, and while I agree on some points my original post holds true. can't zoom out in Liquify), so Photoshop 6 is better for me that any of the newer versions. Also, testing out the CC products in the past,as a Danish keyboard user there are keyboard shortcut bugs that make Photoshop unusable (e.g. I don't do the new business model with subscriptions, so it's CS6 or some other, non-Adobe solution. But to say that no-one forces you to upgrade you OS, well that's just wrong and pedantic. I get that you're reacting to the somewhat whiny "I think Adobe let many of us down.I am disappointed in them," it struck me as particularly silly. I knew this would cost me the usage of my very expensive Firewire audio card, as that's the number one reason I've stuck with Yosemite for so long, but I hadn't expected it would also cost me my scanner, and now my CS6 apps. I'd call that being forced, it certainly feels like that. So, in my case, if I want to be on the interwebs much longer, I have to upgrade. Brave, Chrome, Vivaldi, Opera, name one, none of them will run, and sites are starting to break, some telling you your browser is outdated and needs an update. Firefox 78.15 is the last one that'll run there. It's getting impossible to find a browser that's still supported. SSL root certificates have been broken for several years, partly fixable by exporting root certificates from newer Macs and importing them into the root keychain on Yosemite. I myself have just upgraded from Yosemite to Monterey after giving up battling the toll of time, software-wise, there. Apple drop support for older OSes quickly, with different software vendors following suit to different degrees. I don’t like subscriptions either, but that is the situation.ĭepending on your definition of "force," this isn't actually true. Apple also requires fundamental changes in how an application handles installation, security, privacy, and access to system files, because of the exact hacker threat you mentioned, so a quick 64-bit update would not have been enough anyway. That’s right, even if an application is 64-bit, that is not nearly enough to qualify it for Catalina and Big Sur. But that isn’t what Masongsong wrote:Īnd, the reason MOST people do the Apple OS updates is because of the ever changing hackers out their that Apple, bless them, tries to stay ahead of them with these updates to the OS software. Instead they would have intentionally prevented all of those CS6 applications from being 64-bit. If it was an evil plot to control unannounced events that would happen almost a decade in the future, preventing a 64-bit version of InDesign would not have been enough. If it was truly about greed, it would not have been about InDesign alone. It may not have been exactly the same time as Photoshop or Illustrator, but InDesign was only slightly later, and they are all very different code bases. But like one of the others said, It is ALL ABOUT GREED!!!!īut they did update InDesign to 64-bit a long time before any of these OS requirements were made, it looks like InDesign went 64-bit in 2014. I don't understand why they did not update InDesign. Adobe did update Photoshop CS6 and Illustrator CS6 to to 64 bit. None of that will stop Apple and Adobe saturation marketing their latest products of course. Unfortunately, there's no supported fix for running 32 bit apps on Catalina or Big Sur. They just try and fix things when they hit a snag. Few people do any research before upgrading. Seems that most people are not really interested nor listening until the day it affects them directly when their favourite software will not run. Hard to see what more Apple could have done. Fun fact: 32 bit support was supposed to be dropped in Mojave but Apple could see that developers were not ready so support was extended to Mojave with more intrusive notices to consumers included. Consumers were then given two years of notices and warnings in High Sierra and Mojave. Developers were given 10 years notice by Apple. 32 bit support was not suddenly stopped out of the blue. Maybe it would be helpful if Apple would let its potential updaters know that crucial apps might be rendered useless prior to urging us to update to the next version.that might help.Īpple actually did just that.
