Question

Need Photoshop 2020 (v 21.2.12)

Greetings!

 

I updated to PS 2022 this morning and inadvertently had the install process delete older versions of Photoshop.

 

I have one particular plugin/extension that will only work with PS 2020 and I was just using that plugin yesterday - now I'm screwed.

 

Is there a way to download PS 2020? I can't find one.  😞

 

Thank you,

 

TIm

    According to this Adobe KB, 3D should work in Photoshop version 22.2 (from February 2021)

    which is available through the creative cloud desktop application.

    Hi! I have an active Creative Cloud subscription and need access to Photoshop 2020 (version 21.2.12) for 3D and spherical panorama work.
    Could an Adobe staff member please share the official Adobe CDN download link for that version?
    Thank you!

    @harun37850927qubk Adobe no longer provide download links for unsupported versions of Photoshop, version 22.2 is still available from the CC app, which provides 3D functionality

    I was in the middle of a project that was very important to me and now I can't continue.  😞

      @Tim! 

      ProDesign Tools has direct downloads to some previous versions here:

        They don't have any for the 2020 versions.

         

        I contacted support via live chat and the rep sent me a link to download v21.0. I can't update it back to 21.2.12 though, but it's way better than being completely stuck while waiting for new pc components to arrive.

          Hi. Open your Creative Cloud app. Go to the All Apps section. Click the 3 dots at the end of the Photoshop entry and choose Other Versions. Photoshop 21.2.12 is the PS 2020 version.

            The only versions available from the Creative Cloud app are 22.5.2 and 23.0, 21.2.12 is no longer available

            You can't even download 22.5.1 and below, don't understand why Adobe is doing this, bugs in version 22.x.x haven't even been fully addressed yet, version 23 is full of bugs as is always the case with Adobe's new Photoshop versions
