Unfortunately for people who never switched to the subscription model, the CS6 updates stopped at 13.0.6. You need 13.1 to launch in 64-bit, which is only available to CC subscription holders. Edit: it seems that at one time it was possible for non-CC license holders to upgrade to 13.1 but it doesn't work anymore.

  The linked source is directly from Adobe and directly contradicts the claim that "you need 13.1 to launch in 64-bit." The source says: > Photoshop CS6 and CC only install a 64-bit version on Mac OS. Further, it says: > Photoshop CS5 installs a version that can launch in either 32 bit or 64 bit when you install on a 64-bit version of Mac OS (Mac OS X 10.5 or later). If CS5 install can launch in 64-bit, it wouldn't make sense for CS6 to be 32-bit only from the first version. Even further, I know from personal experience that your claim is highly unlikely. This is a screenshot of Photoshop CS5 (12.0.4) running in 64-bit on my machine (High Sierra). Noticed it says "12.0.4 x64." https://imgur.com/a/nCTghcy https://imgur.com/a/nCTghcy I am not sure of the source of your information, but it's simply incorrect. Edit: This is another article directly from Adobe. It says: > On Windows, both Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended have the option to run natively in either 32-bit or 64-bit editions. On Macintosh, only a 64-bit edition is available. https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/release-note/release-notes-photoshop-cs6.html https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/release-note/release-notes...

    I don’t know what to tell you. Every time I launch CS6 on my Mac it tells me that it won’t run on Catalina. I have no reason to believe that’s not true. I think it’s quite possible that when Adobe says “64-bit” they’re not saying exactly the same thing that Apple means. I’m no expert with macho binaries and MacOS library linking.
