Question

Previous Photoshop versions not showing in Creative Cloud (Need version before 2022)

Hi 

I’m trying to download an older version of Photoshop but I’m running into an issue.

At my company, we use some mockup files that rely on the 3D feature that existed in Photoshop before the 2022 versions. We were able to use those files without problems before. However, we recently purchased a new computer and installed Photoshop again.

When I checked the Adobe Creative Cloud app to install a previous version, it only shows versions going back to 2026, and I can’t find any versions earlier than that. Because of this, I’m unable to install a version that still supports the 3D features we need.

Has anyone run into this issue before? Is there a way to access or download older versions like Photoshop 2021 or earlier through Creative Cloud, or any workaround for this?

Thanks in advance!

    Adobe has replaced the Photoshop 3D features by buying the Substance line of software, you may want to look into those applications.

    Photoshop version 22.2, released 5 years age, is the last release that worked well with Photoshop’s 3D due to changes in operating systems. Adobe said they would make it available for a year, then quietly extended it. However, it is no longer available from the CC app.

     

    Another user reported success with 22.2 when she contacted Adobe support by Chat. We don’t know how long that will last, but it’s worth a try.
