How can I download an older/previous version of photoshop onto my desktop? My MacBook air doesnt supprot the newest versions, but I still need the app in some capacity. The internet says it should be easy, but there is not an option to download older versions from what I can tell. Please let me know!

Hi @Natalie P.,

If your computer cannot run macOS Mojave or higher, maybe you can use another graphics app for now.

 

When you get a new computer, be sure to get one that supports the system requirements to run Photoshop CC.

Hope that helps.

Direct Download Links https://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl MAY help
-you MUST do what it says in Note: Very Important Instructions
-https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2015-direct-download-links.html#download-instructions
-the prodesign links go directly to Adobe's file server, so this process will
--only work until Adobe completely removes the old version(s) from the server
.
IF/When you do have a download, be sure to copy it to AT LEAST one external device
-since Adobe does sometimes remove old versions from the server
-a usb flash drive or external hard drive, or write to a DVD
-plus a text file containing your serial number if you have CS6/CS5

Hi Natalie,

 

What version of macOS are you running on your Macbook Air?

Old versions are no longer offered by Adobe. They just don't support old systems. The internet is often wrong.
