El Capitan

Are there issues to updating to El Capitan for Elements (I have 14) or were the issues just with regular Photoshop?

I haven't heard of too many problems, but that could be due to more PS users than PSE users when it comes to Macs. For the best chance of things working, a current version of PSE is your best bet. 

Are you looking to upgrade for the sake of upgrading? If you have an older Mac and are running Mavericks, I HIGHLY  RECOMMEND that you stay there. Yosemite & El Capitan have introduced all sorts of little quirks and problems, so unfortunately...I really can't give you a straight yes or no answer.

Thank you. I am still on Mavericks. I have PSE 14, the most current edition.  My husband told me I should upgrade because of the added security features.

Unless you WANT problems and pain, if you are into that sort of thing, STAY ON MAVERICKS!! 

I know, it keeps popping up telling you that you should upgrade. Don't. Because you'll be in here bitching within a week and no, Apple won't let you downgrade at this point. It's a one-way thing.

I will stay. Thanks.
