I downloaded Adobe Creative Cloud, then downloaded the free trial of the Photoshop Application through the link, but afterwards, I couldn't figure out how to open Photoshop. There doesn't seem to be a way to open it through Creative Cloud, so how do I open Photoshop?

A shortcut should be placed on your PC or Mac's desktop. If you're on PC, then click the start orb on Win 7 and then under All Programs you can find it. If you're on Mac, and the shortcut is not on the desktop, then navigate to /Applications/ folder to find it. Then drag on to your Mac desktop or dock.

More precisely, on a Mac, look for them "loose" in your Applications Folder. The Creative Cloud apps are NOT inside the Creative Cloud folder, they installed as separate folders in the Applications Folder. When you open them, you can go to your dock, and either control-click the application or click and hold and choose Options-->Keep in Dock. Then you can launch them from the dock.
