    Photoshop has been releasing a new version each year, usually in the Fall. Photoshop 2024 (25.3.1) is the current version. The other two are older. If you need space, you can uninstall the older ones using the CC app. Some of us like to keep the current and one previous in case there are bugs.

     

    Use the instructions here to uninstall:

    If you do decide to uninstall - do it from the CC app and all should be OK, however every now and then people raise issues with file associations becoming mixed up after uninstalls (file associations are what tell the operating system which application to use when you click on a file to open it). For that reason, the safest way to avoid such issues is to uninstall all three versions - newest first through to oldest last. Then re-install the newest.

        @Emma350041783lrl here is a link to the new features - you can go through the release history to see the updates for each.

        My take is if you are working in CC 2024 without issue - I would remove the other two.

         

        You can still download them both later if need be  (PS 22.2 is available in the CC desktop app and 2019 is available from ProDesign tools downloads).
