Trying to download 2023 version of Photoshop (in April 2026) because the new versions work extremely slow and I cannot work with them

Why is my Photoshop so slow now that I cannot work? I changed all settings in preferences as suggested online, but no improvement

 

And I cannot find a way to download an older version, e.g., 2023 Photoshop, the oldest on the Creative Cloud seems to be 25.0 and it doesn’t work for me (super slow and lagging)

 

I have a 2019 MacBook Pro, more than 200GB of memory available and the system updated to the Tahoe last version

 

What can I do? I need Photoshop for work. I have a full Adobe licence and I am stuck

 

Thanks

 

Very Best

    @Druanio Basu Adobe only allows the current and previous version of Photoshop to be installed

    Have you tried resetting the preferences

    Can you post your Photoshop system info, in Photoshop go to Help > System Info, hit the copy button and paste the entire thing into this thread
