However, eventually you’ll want to replace all of your Intel-only software with Apple Silicon compatible versions, for two reasons: If you bought an Apple Silicon Mac because you wanted the best possible performance and battery life at the price you paid, then you’ll get that performance only if you upgrade applications to the latest Apple Silicon compatible version. You might not need to upgrade Intel versions of applications right away if your current software versions actually run on macOS 13 Ventura. If you’re upgrading from an Intel Mac to a Apple Silicon Mac, there are a few more things to think about. If you decide to upgrade to Ventura, expect to run the most recent versions of software including Adobe Creative Cloud applications. If you have applications you must use, but you have older versions that aren’t compatible with macOS 13 and you choose not to upgrade them to current versions, you should delay upgrading to Ventura. But if you’re upgrading from macOS 10.14 Mojave or earlier, Apple changed macOS in ways that may prevent older applications from running in macOS 13 Ventura.

The good news: If you’re upgrading from macOS 11 Big Sur or later, the differences between that and macOS 13 Ventura are relatively minor. I’ll update this article as new information comes out. We don’t usually know everything right away that information emerges over time as Apple, Adobe, and other software developers test with the final public release and produce updates with fixes.

With the release of macOS 13 Ventura, you’re probably wondering if your Adobe software will work in this major upgrade to macOS.
