[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1861267, member: 83420"] And cordial greetings to you too, Bruno. A warm welcome to Mac-Forums. Firstly, thank you for your comprehensive summary about your iMac. About the only thing I can't find is whether your Mac's Hard Drive is of the spinning type (Fusion or Spinning only) or a Solid State Disk. I mention this because I would say that this may be the principal limiting factor when running heavy duty apps. (Personal view). All your other specs seem eminently suitable for working with Adobe. Again a personal view - I think it is pointless sticking with 10.15.6 and refusing future updates. Either your Mac is playing well with macOS Catalina, or it isn't. The more relevant question is whether you stick with macOS Catalina or revert to macOS Mojave? Reverting is a fairly major task, although feasible of course. Bottom line: If your Mac's HD is a SSD, then I would stick with macOS Catalina and try out the 2020 version of Adobe (if possible trialling it before full purchase). If your HD is Fusion or a Spinner, then an argument could be made for reversion on the grounds that it worked well with Adobe. Have I got the feel of your question right? Ian [/QUOTE]
