Moving Photoshiop 2019 from one computer to another

Explorer ,
Nov 07, 2025 Nov 07, 2025

I have Photoshop 2019 on my laptop. I realize there is no way to download a version from Adobe to my main computer. So, I'm wondering how I can move Photoshop 2019 from my laptop to my main computer. My main computer is silicon-based. And I know I will have to download Rosetta 2 to use it. 

 

How can I move it and know which additional files (if any) I should move along with it? I do have a Creative Cloud account if that matters. 

 

Thanks, Jeff

No, you can't move applications from an Intel Mac to an Apple Silicon Mac and have them work right, even if you used Migration Assistant. You need to download the Adobe CC app and install fresh.

There is no Photoshop 2019 installer.

Thanks, Jeffrey. I know how to use my Creative Cloud subscription. The problem is that there is no longer a 2019 installer. But I want to use the 3D feature 2019 has. I've asked before if there is an application that does the same thing as the Photoshop 3D feature (which is easy for me to use). But I didn't get any good answers. Often I need to rotate a 2D image just a bit. Nothing drastic. And I've always found Photoshop's now discontinued 3D feature easy to use without worrying about skins and texture mapping.

Jeff, I don't think Photoshop 2019 will even run on a current computer using Apple's newer series of processors, but a new installation is not included in an individual subscription. I am sorry, you will want to adjust your workflow to use tools that are compatible with your current computer.

 

Please make sure you follow my advice on the use of the migration assistant at https://adobe.ly/3LqRtqo. Moving over components of Intel applications have lead people to post about some very bizarre problems. A clean installation for your new processor type will make the experience a lot easier for you, Jeff.

 

Please see https://adobe.ly/493zMXF for information about how to download and install the version of Photoshop that are compatible with your new computer and take advantage of its features. ^JW

Adobe still distributes Photoshop 22.2 via the CC App, that has 3D features. Photoshop 2019 is not available and you can't move it over from another computer.

I can't seem to find 22.2. Can you give me a link or a detailed description of how to download it? I've been looking in Creative Cloud and haven't found it.

Jeff, that version is not available either. You can find the list of available versions of Creative Cloud applications at https://adobe.ly/3XglkEm.

 

Please do review and bookmark https://adobe.ly/4nV2w8U for this and other important information about how to install older versions of Photoshop. ^JW

If you go to the CC app click on the apps button from the navigation. Then click the dots next to Photoshop and select other versions. I currently see 27, 26.x releases, and 22.2.

next to the ps icon in the cc app are 3 dots.  click those > other versions.

 

if you don't see that, change your cc app preferences to show older versions.
