Hey there, 

Is it possible to save from Photoshop CC 2021 to CS6 or lower versions? Couldn't find anything about it.

Thanks in advance.

Others have provided some great advice. Because it sounds as though you are dealing with some non-raster-based layers (logos), you may find that you need to rasterize these layers to be backward compatible.

Hi. There is not version option in the Photoshop "save as" window. CS6 is a very old Ps version. If you have a simple image maybe you can open it in CS6 without problem but if you have an image where you use recent features of Photoshop, you could have issues with older versions.

In preferences their is a button to maximize compatability. See screen shot. Make sure you have this checked and than files will open in older versions.

PSD documents are compatible with earlier versions, what is the issue you are trying to resolve?

My client has a lower version of photoshop and has a message error (undetermined data)

about the elements include in the psd file, such as the logos or even the circle/rectangle tools. 

I thought it was because of my recent version, but I can read, with your reply, that is not the case. It never happened to me before.
