Cloud and Desktop versions

Question

Thank you. I'm not a guru in Photoshop by any means, but I have one more question. I use the cloud but when I save things I save them to my desktop. When I want to make changes I use my desktop. I thought I could use the cloud but then save things to my desktop. Why is the cloud version current but my desktop is not? I thought the two were interchangeable. Again, I'm not a guru with all this and honestly, I don't use it nearly as much as I used to. I also don't know much about cloud-based programs like this and how they work. I appreciate you getting back to me.

The one on my desktop says Photoshop CC 20.0.9 Release

The other one on my taskbar says Adobe Photoshop 22.1.0 Release

20.0.9 is Photoshop 2019 and does not have the Object Selection tool

22.1.0 is Photoshop 2021 and does have it.

You can keep both or uninstall from the Creative Cloud app. Adobe offers installations for the current and one previous version, so you would not be able to reinstall 2019 (20.0.9) if you uninstall.

You're welcome, @Angie5DD6 — I've branched your question to its own thread since it is unrelated to the other post about the missing Object Selection tool.

I'm not positive what you are asking here. If you are saving to the Cloud and also to your desktop, you most likely have two separate files that are not connected to each other. Is that what is happening? Can you confirm where each is being stored?
