Using the Extensis font panel in Adobe Photoshop on Macs with Apple silicon

Affected versions

This article applies to using Adobe Photoshop 2021 and later with Connect Fonts, or Universal Type Client version 7.0.9 and later versions.

Setting Adobe Photoshop to use the Extensis font panel

Connect Fonts and recent versions of Universal Type Client and Suitcase Fusion ship with Universal auto-activation plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop.

Adobe Photoshop 2021 and later can be run natively if you only need the auto-activation plug-in; using the font panel with Photoshop requires Rosetta.

For more information on Rosetta, go to https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211861. To set Adobe Photoshop to use Rosetta:

1. Close the application
2. Select the application in the Finder and choose File > Get Info
3. In the Info window, check the "Open using Rosetta" checkbox
4. Close the Info window
