Unable to Downgrade to Older Versions

[MrHaydnSir]

i'm trying to get work done, but i'm being massively slowed down by the new masking tools - it's overly complicated and does not work for me, when i want to go to that much effort i'll use photoshop

but it seems i can't downgrade any further back than Lightroom Classic 11.0 ?

is there anything i can do to go back further, or any way i can change my controls or shortcuts to mimic the old masking tools

i've never been so frustrated, and it's making me pull back from wanting to edit or enjoy my hobby and passion

Adobe doesn't make older versions available unfortunately. There is a third party that stores all the older installers but use at your own risk as I can't vouch for these being legitimate: https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-direct-download-links.html 

I also don't like the layout of the new tools but have gotten used to them and the AI masks are quite amazing and have sped up some of my work but yeah if you just want to brush you have several more clicks to go through each brush which is frustrating.

thank you so much - truly appreciate it ☺️

The old shortcuts still work and jump you right into the tool immediately. M for Grad, Shift M for Radial, K for Brush.
