Droplets don't work | Photoshop CS5, CS4, CS3 | Mac OS X 10.6Products affected
Issue
Your Adobe Photoshop CS5, CS4 or CS3 droplets stop working after you upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6.
Details
- Droplets in Photoshop CS4 and earlier rely on code for PPC (Power PC) processors (used by Apple G4, G5 computers) in order to run.
- Droplets in the initial release of Photoshop CS5 also rely on code for PPC (Power PC) processors (used by Apple G4, G5 computers) in order to run.
- Apple no longer includes Rosetta, which is required to run PPC code on Macintosh computers with Intel processors, with the default installation of Mac OS X 10.6.
Solution
Photoshop CS4 or earlier:
Install Rosetta on Mac OS X 10.6 to run your droplets.
Photoshop CS5:
The 12.0.1 update added support for creation of droplets using native code for Intel processors. Update Photoshop CS5 with the latest updates and then recreate your droplets to use native code for Intel processors.
