We’re hard at work on the next major release of Creative Cloud, and wanted to share some information on updated operating system requirements for members using Mac OS X.
- Download creative cloud for mac for free. Productivity downloads - Creative Cloud by Adobe Systems Inc. And many more programs are available for instant and free download.
- The recommendation is to install the applications through the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app. The Creative Cloud desktop app has been updated and allows the successful installation of current and previous versions of Creative Cloud applications. For complete details regarding the installation process, see Download your Creative Cloud apps.
- Creative Cloud is a collection of 20+ desktop and mobile apps and services for photography, design, video, web, UX and more. Now you can take your ideas to new places with Photoshop on the iPad, draw and paint with Fresco, and design for 3D and AR. Join our global creative community — and make something better together.
When you upgrade to or launch a Creative Cloud application for the first time on the latest versions of macOS 10.14 Mojave, you may see a warning message that indicates Adobe software needs to be optimized for better performance. This is due to some 32-bit components that we are working to address in a future Creative Cloud update. Creative Cloud for desktop is a great place to start any creative project. Quickly launch and update your desktop apps; manage and share your assets stored in Creative Cloud; download fonts from Adobe Typekit or high-quality royalty-free assets right within the app; and showcase and discover creative.
In order to take advantage of the latest operating system features and technologies, the next major release of Creative Cloud will require Mac OS X 10.11 or higher.
If you’re running an older version of Mac OS X, such as 10.10, you can continue to run and install current and previous versions of the Creative Cloud applications, but will not be able to install or run the next major release of the Creative Cloud desktop applications until you upgrade to a supported version of OS X. Apple provides a free update to the latest version of OS X (10.11).
Creative Cloud Desktop, which manages application installs, will continue to be supported on OS X 10.10 and above.
In addition, the next major release of Lightroom will be supported on OS X 10.11 and above.
Focusing our efforts on more modern versions of Mac OS X allows us to concentrate on developing the features and functionality most requested by members.
