does photoshop CS5 12.1 x64 work with High Sierra?

[eve12309]

Hi!

I have a mid 2010 mac pro. I have photoshop CS5 12.1 x64 currently working well on this. It's enough for what I need and I like it.
I cant afford a new computer but I do have a new camera- a 90D which work on CR3 raw file my Photoshop now cant read.
A DNG converter could solve this issue but I can't download Adobe DNG converter as apparently I need version 8.1 to go with my El Capitan o s but i can't seem to get it to load- I click and nothing happens maybe because I am also having web browser issues apparently due to my O S being so old.

Ive been advised to try High Sierra-(the last OS my mid 2010 model can use) to help solve my browser issues which may then allow to to download the DNG converter I need but there seems to be very variable views on whether photoshop CS5 12.1 x64 will then work!!

Has anyone out there tried this??

Even if I wanted to spend the money on a photoshop subscription to get the new Photoshop to read my new raw files (i dont) I actually cant without a new computer that will allow use of a newer os! Its been a rabbit hole but hopefully I've understood all this and now the last question is will my photoshop CS5 12.1 x64 even work with High Sierra??

Thanks!!
Eve

I have CS5 running on High Sierra at home, but I don't know if it is 12.1 x64 or something else.

Have you considered using a bit of money to buy Pixelmator or Affinity Photo instead? They support CR3 RAW because they tab into Apples system support for it. They are much more modern.

No idea, I don't even know what it does. I only use Photoshop and Illustrator.

I have both running on High Sierra just fine. Affinity Photo is probably your best choice, and it runs all way down to 10.9 Mavericks.

Note that I am talking Pixelmator, and not Pixelmator Pro, as the latter only runs on 10.15.
