Question

Download Photoshop 2020 (21x version) Mac Pro High Sierra

Hi,

 

I recently signed the Creative Cloud to use the Photoshop on my MacBook Pro but discovered after that the newest version is incompatible with my OS High Sierra (10.13.6) so I can't use the new one and neither download the previous versions.

I had payed CC before, but canceled an deleted the files, since I was no longer using it. And I remender that was possible to download the older versions.

Searchead a lot about it but had no luck. I tryed the tutorial from adobe about how see and download the versions in CC app, but mine is empty.

 

Can anyone help me, please? I really need it to a new job project and can't aford a new computer (and my computer still really great, thoses obsolecence things makes me a little angry)

 

thanks so much

​@Suelen22959907t39i If you were using Creative Cloud Desktop App or even online Adobe.com, with your MacBook connected to the internet, Adobe would specifically will tell you that your computer is ‘incompatible’, meaning you can NOT update to the latest version. I know from personal experience as my old MacBook Pro i9 2013 could only load Photoshop 2024 and I got the ‘incompatible’ message in both Creative Cloud Desktop App and online Adobe.com that I can’t upgrade. I am now on a MacBook M5 Max. 

If you need to use Photoshop, try the online version, Photoshop on the Web, I was using that as it has the ‘Remove Tool’ while Photoshop 2024 was dated, and didn’t have this feature among others.

Adobe Customer Support will no longer provide download links that function on High Sierra

Hi

You either need to contact Adobe Customer Care and request a download link for version 2020, which is compatible with OS High Sierra (10.13.6) or you can download version 2019 from the below link
