How do you revert back to a previous version of Lightroom?

[SnydersPhotography]

How do I revert back from the latest update?  I will now need to change programs do reduce some noise or add years to my workflow.  These new settings don't work the same as the older version and the AI is a nightmare when you're batch processing 200 files at once.

Hi @SnydersPhotography 

Thanks for reaching out. 

To revert to the previous version, you must go to the Creative Cloud Desktop application. Then click the three dots beside Lightroom. You will get the option 'Other Versions'; click it.

Choose and install the version of your choice.

Let us know if it helps,

Best

Hello,

I saw this response in another post and took me a couple tries to get on
the correct page to have the 3 dots. I was able to reload the older
version. This is nice to know now that my camera raw isn't compatible with
elements 2022. I may have to do the same with that if I run into another
version skew issue.

Thank you,
Ben

I would like to turn back to the old version, but I cannot find the page with the three dots (windows 10).

In the old version, I could change the language from Italian (system) to German - in the latest version I change the language but with the restart, everything turns back to Italien

I had to roll back to 6.3. Things were not right after this update. AI could not detect people in my photo and there were other masking issues too. Denoise AI did not work at all on my .CR3 files. In every try I was presented with the message "Upsupported Photo: This photo is not supported by this feature." No explanation as to why or how to fix it. Usually I love getting the updates but this was over the top frustrating. Let me know when it all works and I will try again. Thx.

@Catherine2950959417ec Do you perhaps shoot one of the downsized raw formats like sRAW or mRAW? They're not "real" raw data any more as they're demosaiced by the camera, so they're not supported at this time.

AI not detecting people though... sounds like a graphics card driver issue. Is it working ok in 6.2 now you've rolled back? What are your system specs (from Help menu > System Info) please?

You know you don't need to roll back to use the older noise reduction sliders...? Just click on Manual Noise Reduction to see them.

I am a bit late the revert to downrev thread, this being Feb '24.  However, I wanted to add my two cents.  I was all good with updates in LRc until earlier this month.  The move to 13.0.1.2 (or there abouts) really impacted LRc speed.  I have a Nvidia GTX745 & 32GB RAM..  Granted, my PC is a bit outdated, but if it ain't broke...$$$  I reverted to 12.5 and my graphics processing has improved, not to what is was, but liveable (haven't rebooted yet).  NOTE:  reverting to 12 from 13 resulted in losing to access to pics processed in catalog13--the revert forced me back to a pre 13 catalog.  This means edits made after upgrading to 13 are likely going to require re-do.  So everthing since October in my case.  Guess I will live in v12.5 until $3K available for a new PC with updated Nvidia graphics card.

I have previously had no issue downloading lightroom on my Mac using the three dots in the CC desktop app and selecting "older versions" as instructed here, however now I no longer have the three dots and it just says "system incompatible." I am still able to access older versions of photoshop and other programs, but can't figure out a way to get Lightroom back on my computer, and I'm at my wits end after wasting many, many hours fighting with this system. Hope someone can help.

Same problem.  Trying to update LR removed my existing version and then it told me new version incompatible!  And I no longer have 3 dots and option to roll back.  So I have lost access to my many-years-long LR library!!!!

Are you looking for the 3 dots in the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App?  It should show you the (Install) button, and possibly the 3 dots icon there-
