Are older versions of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements (versions 2019 or earlier) compatible with macOS Catalina?

Older versions of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements contain some 32bit components which were not designed to work on macOS 10.15 Catalina. Older Elements versions were released prior to the Catalina OS release, which was released in October 2019.

Adobe recommends that customers using older versions of Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements (versions 2019 or earlier) DO NOT upgrade to macOS 10.15 Catalina.

If you have installed the Elements products and have not upgraded to macOS 10.15 Catalina, the Elements products will function normally.
