Monterey Compatibility

[bcop0]

Has anyone had problems accessing Adobe installers on Monterey?

Is Indesign 2021 compatible with OS 14 (Monterey)?

There isa no Indesign 2021, just 2020 and 2022. The latest version is stated to be compatible with Big Sur (and likely Monterey).

The 2020 version goes up to Catalina.

I haven't heard anything one way or anther:

Application — RoaringApps

Crowd-sourced application compatibility for macOS, iOS and Windows.

But Adobe products regularly break when Apple introduces a new version of the Mac OS.

Which is one fo the reasons why many folks have switched from Adobe's products to Affinity's products. The other is that Affinity's products are less expensive and not sold based on a subscription model:

Affinity – Professional Creative Software

From the smoothest photo editing and design software to next-gen page layout, Affinity is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with creative technology.

Adobe Creative Suite user here. I just finished updating most all of the apps today. Completed a video using Premiere Pro, Photoshop ( for included pictures) and Media Encoder. Have not had to use InDesign yet since getting my 2021 M1 Max. The app will open but I will have to try a project tomorrow when I get to work as I am at home now. All my apps are updated to the 2022 versions and I am running Monterey 12.0.1.

Usually to access the apps and either download them or update them you use the creative cloud app.
You will need a subscription because believe me nothing from Adobe is free!

BTW: I have used the Affinity apps and they do rock but I need the integration that is built in to the Adobe apps.

I've not had any issues with Photoshop or Bridge since upgrading to Monterey. Just updated them today.

As for Affinity, I am considering switching from Photoshop to Affinity. I'm just a hobbyist and don't use most of the features of Photoshop. Since I subscribe to nothing else but the photographers package, the $10.00 a month was never an issue. But Affinity is a very tempting alternative for me. I use two cameras, a Sigma SD1 nd a Canon EOS R. Adobe Camera RAW does not support the Sigma RAW files so I use Sigma's Photo Pro software to convert the files. Therefore, it's no real loss in that aspect if I no longer use Adobe apps.

I have dumped all of my Photoshop apps, and the bloat that comes with them, and installed Affinity. It's like a breath of fresh air and fulfills all of my needs.

That seems disappointing considering that each of their applications was only $25 just a few months back.

But I guess that it's still WAY less than the equivalent Adobe products. With no subscription required.

Gulp!!

I paid nearly £50 just over a week ago

That's still a "bargain" in comparison with Adobe products and Affinity does most of what Adobe does - and no sub!

Enjoy
