This step also renders all plug-ins authored for previous versions of Adobe Photoshop incompatible. The current and future versions of Adobe Photoshop will thus only work on 64 bit compatible Intel Macs. Photoshop CS6 & PSE 12 for Mac OS X no longer feature a 32 bit modeĪfter dropping support for the Power PC platform with version CS5 Adobe decided to also stop supporting the 32 bit Intel Mac platform starting with Photoshop CS6.

Photoshop's default configuration is set to running in 64 bit mode on compatible Macs though. When using Photoshop CS5 on the Mac in its 32 bit mode all of our plug-ins including the old ones can be used in their XC UNI versions. ColorPerfect has since been released in an updated version that can be used with Photoshop and PhotoLine in their 64 bit modes but our old plug-ins will not be updated. At the same time it was Intel only - dropping all support for the old Power PC platform. Photoshop CS5 was the first 64 bit capable version of Photoshop for Mac OS X.
