Adobe has discovered the compatibility issues listed below with running Photoshop CC 2018 (and earlier) with macOS 10.14 Mojave.
Adobe strongly recommends that customers update to the Photoshop 2019 release prior to updating to macOS 10.14 Mojave. Older versions of Photoshop were not designed, nor extensively tested to run on macOS Mojave. Additionally, we strongly recommend that customers do their own testing on a non-production partition to ensure that new operating systems work with their current hardware and drivers (printing, etc). You may wish to remain on an older version of the OS that is compatible with prior versions of our software.
If you do encounter issues not already documented, feel free to report them on our

Instead, follow the steps below:
After you use the Liquify filter on an image on a specific Mac hardware/graphics cards, there are unexpected black pixels on the image.
You are running macOS 10.14.0, 10.14.2, or 10.14.3.
Macs with the following graphics cards are affected:
AMD Radeon HD - FirePro D300
AMD Radeon HD - FirePro D500
AMD Radeon HD - FirePro D700
AMD Radeon R9 M290
AMD Radeon R9 M370
AMD Radeon R9 M390
Workarounds:
Update to
macOS Mojave 10.14.4
.
Run Liquify without graphics acceleration:
Hold down the Option key when you select
Filter > Liquify
to disable the
Use Graphics Processor
option when launching the Liquify dialog.
Disable the
Use Graphics Processor
option in the preferences.
-
Choose
Photoshop > Preferences > Performance
.
-
Deselect
Use Graphics Processor
.
-
Quit and relaunch Photoshop.
We are working with Apple to address this issue.
When you enable Dark Mode appearance in the macOS System Preferences > General dialog, not all of Photoshop's UI changes to reflect the Dark setting. The Application menus inherit the Dark Mode setting but the following elements do not:
-
The application frame and panels
-
Photoshop dialogs
-
Pop-up menus
-
Panel Menus
-
Context Menus
-
OS dialogs, such as Open... and the Apple Color Picker
Photoshop has its own settings for controlling the application frame, panels and Photoshop dialogs. To have these user interface elements better match the Dark Mode appearance:
-
Go to
Preferences > Interface
.
-
Set the
Color Theme
to the darkest setting.
Note:
Pop-up, panel and context menus, as well as OS dialogs, such as Open and the Apple Color Picker, are unaffected by this setting.
When you click on the Share icon in the far right of the Options bar to share an image, Facebook, Twitter, etc are no longer an option in the menu.
Photoshop uses the macOS APIs for sharing and these
options
have been removed in Mojave.
