No, Adobe Creative Suite 6 (CS6) is not compatible with Apple Silicon-based Macs, including the M1 Max MacBook Pro. CS6 was released before Apple transitioned to its custom ARM-based processors. CS6 was designed to run on Intel-based Macs, which used a different architecture.

Adobe has since moved to a subscription-based model with Adobe Creative Cloud, which offers more recent versions of their applications that are compatible with Apple Silicon. If you're looking to use Adobe software on your M1 Max MacBook Pro, you will need to consider subscribing to Adobe Creative Cloud and installing the latest versions of the Adobe apps that are compatible with Apple Silicon. These versions have been optimized to work efficiently on the new architecture.

I have the MacBook Pro M2 chip and it won't even let me download adobe creative cloud with any versions on my computer. This is very frustrating as the entire reason for buying the newer Mac was to edit photos and videos etc. on my creative cloud subscription, which worked just fine on my old Mac unit the upgrade to Ventura. Are there any workarounds to using downloading or working on adobe on the new Mac?
