The latest was unveiled in June 2020, which is the macOS Big Sur. One version of its operating system is macOS High Sierra. Just, some more care is needed with your system than in the past.Like other companies, Apple constantly updates its computer operating systems. So, I would say CS6 works in Sierra, and works very well. My guess is that this is a font issue, more than anything else. Then, panels take forever to open or close.Īfter fixing the problem, all is fine and fast on my Mac mini as well. My issue was the one reported by some other users: when launching, ID stops for very long at the "Starting up panels" message in the splash screen. I removed the fonts that Font Book reported as damaged, and updated to 10.12.6 at the same time, so I don't know if rebooting or updating solved my issue. I had issues with InDesign, but I can't say if they were caused by Sierra 10.12.5, or by some corrupted fonts. InDesign runs smoother than under Yosemite. This Mac is quite 'clean', since I use it as the satellite in my double system. Later, I was able to update my MacBook Pro to Sierra, and have all CS6 applications work smoothly. Just an update to my situation with Sierra and CS6.Īs reported above, I was able to install and make CS6 work on a clean install of Sierra. We will never switch to the subscription model, and this would be a way for Adobe to have our money once more. It would be great if Adobe releases a one-time "Anniversary" edition, that is a packaged edition with no subscription plan, just for us resistants. I've not tried my fully configured system yet, so I don't know if there are issues with extra fonts, extensions, drivers. One issue is that numeric fields have offset numbers, so you have to keep this in consideration when editing them. Maybe scrolling is smoother than in Yosemite (but this may depend on the cleaner system). Working with InDesign, I can see that it opens and saves files, exports PDF files, and seems to have no issues with opening the various dialogues and palettes. I couldn't try Illustrator, yet, because it asks for an older version of Java that I've not yet installed. But then everything seems to work normally. When running the apps (InDesign and Photoshop) I got a message saying that the Master Collection installation is damaged.


I didn't try to reinstall the app itself, but the existing installation worked fine. I find InDesign (and Photoshop) CS6 to be working on a clean install of Sierra.
