Sorry, i´m Portuguese and also speak spanish so sometimes i mix the terms and i write portenglish :). To place photoshop on a USB that was what i meant by " in a pen"


No, you can't install it on to a usb stick, you need to download the application from the internet on to your laptop. If you have the system specs, give it a try!

There's Adobe  Express, which is for editing images on mobiles and is free!

You need to know that there never was a "Photoshop Portable" from Adobe. Software pirates may claim this exists, and they might have something along with the malware. But "Photoshop Portable" is not a legal product.

Also, Photoshop needs a powerful computer, with a lot of free disk space and good GPU etc. A portable version would not make a tiny laptop work...

There is Photoshop lite version called Photoshop Elements, it's available for a one-off payment  from Amazon and elsewhere for around $70.

But its portable? My problem, when i travel i just use a small laptop that is completely impossible to install photoshop, so my idea is to have a portable  version in a pen and that way i can use photoshop in my small laptop.

If your small laptop has the correct system specs you can install Photoshop Elements 2022. I don't know what you mean by "in a pen"!

If you're not sure you can download the free 30-day trial to see if it will work on your small laptop and that the application suits your requirements.

No, there isn't official portable version of Photoshop. There wasn't portable version at any time in the past.
