I am currently using Photoshop 26.3 Beta version yet whenever I open or start a new file I get "A new version of Photoshop Beta is available" with a button "Download Now" So when I pressed the button nothing happened.

Cory is the expert on this, as he helped writing the program, but I am going to be cheeky and say what I do when I see thge Update message, as I can remember clicking the button inside Photoshop, and 'apparently' having nothing happen.

 

I close Photoshop.

Open the Creative Cloud Descktop App

Click on Apps.

And I'll see Photoshop Beta at the top of the page, and an invite to update it.

I did that earlier today, so my screen looks different.

 

What are your Manage auto-updates settings?

Do you have auto-updates turned on?

Hi @leeingrove 

 

Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac)


C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings


Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut
With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.
