Is the Adobe Photoshop Elements 2020 version still available to download or purchase? I need that specific version. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am preparing to take the International Association for Identification (IAI) Latent Fingerprint Examiner Certification examination this fall. The examination materials strongly recommend that candidates become familiar with Adobe Photoshop Elements 2020, as that is the version used during the testing process.

 

I would like to inquire whether Adobe Photoshop Elements 2020 is still available for purchase or download. If so, I would appreciate information on how I can obtain a legitimate copy of that specific version. If the software is no longer available directly from Adobe, I would be grateful for any guidance regarding alternative options for accessing or licensing Photoshop Elements 2020 for training and practice purposes.

 

Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response

    Adobe offers only the current and one previous version of their applications. PSE 2020 is six years old and no longer available.

     

    This is the Photoshop forum. If you have further questions, ask on the Photoshop Elements forum:

    https://community.adobe.com/photoshop-elements-714

     

    You might check with the IAI and ask why they are using six-year-old software that is no longer available.
