Adobe Photoshop - Are there still issues with Adobe and AMD Hackintosh?

[vanquish]

I am currently running Ventura on an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and it pretty much runs fine however, I always have problems with Adobe apps. They open and as soon as I try to do anything in the app, even just open an image, it crashes to the desktop. This also happened with Big Sur. I had seen a few comments on the web that Adobe does not work with AMD Hackintosh builds. Is this true? Or is there something I should be doing to get it up and running?

Not true so much. Install amdfriend ( https://github.com/NyaomiDEV/AMDFriend )

Here's a usage example to patch PS 2023 once you've got amdfriend installed.

sudo amdfriend --in-place --backup --sign --directories /Applications/Adobe\ Photoshop\ 2023/Adobe\ Photoshop\ 2023.app/Contents

Thanks. I have downloaded the file and unzipped it but I am not sure what I am supposed to do with it now?

@vanquish Easy way is to install it with npm. You can keep it updated if it gets updates that way too.

Install Brew, /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Install npm, brew install nodejs

Install amdfriend, npm install -g amdfriend

@Shaneee AMDFriend dev posted an executable

so not mandatory to install if user is not confident with that installation process

Release Version 1.0.2 · NyaomiDEV/AMDFriend

Changes Nothing much. I am now sure it works well in Ventura, especially if you have screwed up environments thanks to Homebrew (dang it). Oh also now there's a binary release. Grab it below!
