How to download Photoshop 2019 version?

[swoody26]

There are several bugs which make me prefer Photoshop 2019 over the newer versions. Please tell me how can I download it? I keep waiting for these bugs to be fixed, but it's been 3 years now, so I do not think Adobe is not going to fix them. 

Bug #1:  Can't create actions using (Edit > Transform > Warp) and apply it to other images. (get errors)

Bug #2: Photoshop (or rather the view or graphic) will consistently freeze while I am working, so I have to save and close the image, and reopen to be able to continue working. My cursor will stop allowing me to do whatever I am trying to do, and/or the view/graphic will "freeze" on a closeup, and I can no longer zoom out and see my whole image.

Any help greatly appreciated, thanks!!

Adobe now offers the current and ONE older version via the online program manager
.
I do not know how far back this process will go, but try this link
-NOTE that you will have to search the site for your specific download
Direct Download Links https://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl MAY help
-you MUST do what it says in Note: Very Important Instructions
-https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2015-direct-download-links.html#download-instructions
-the prodesign links go directly to Adobe's file server, so this process will
--only work until Adobe completely removes the old version(s) from the server
.
IF/When you do have a download, be sure to copy it to AT LEAST one external device
-since Adobe does sometimes remove old versions from the server
-a usb flash drive or external hard drive, or write to a DVD

Thank you! I tried installing and and got the following message. "Installer was unable to access a critical file / directory. Please try installing again. (Error Code: 41). "Error code 41 indicates that the installer doesn't have proper access to a critical file or directory."

SOLUTION
"Make sure you're not logged in with a restricted account. It is also likely that the file permissions under your current user account have been modified. Select Retry to install the Creative Cloud app again."

I am full admin on this computer. No idea why I can't install. I know when I tried to install using my previous installer, it said it didn't recognize the installer, so rejected it (I actually downloaded it from Creative Cloud when it was available 2 yrs ago, so that doesn't make sense). Aargh!

What may work, if Windows, right click the installer and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR in the pop up window

Thanks John, I am on a Mac, and the only administrator (and only user on the box). I've never had issues installing before (regarding permissions)

Can you please try to install it using root user account on MAC?!

Hi Peru Bob, I am the root user, the only user, the admin. Nothing works thus far. I also gave Photoshop and the installer full disk access in case that was the issue. Still does not work
