Are there any Photoshop CC updates planned for the future?

I am wondering if anyone knows if there will be any future updates to Photoshop CC.

A major version release every year (22.0) and minor releases (22.1,22.4 etc) as needed. Exactly when those releases are no one here would know. That's up to the developement team.

Major updates are usually realsed at the beginning of Adobe MAX some time in October.  So 26th October this year

Minor updates are regularly reeleased to fix issues caused by Apple changing their operating system. 😉

Of course.  Photoshop CC development hasn't stopped.  It's updated often, sometimes several times per year.  Upgrades are less frequent.  What exactly are you hoping for from an update?

Are you referring to Photoshop CC version 14.2.1 that was released after Photoshop CS6?  If so, then no, that version is no longer being updated.

However, if you already have it installed and are runinng a compatible version of macOS or Windows, it should still run as expected.

Hi everyone, 

Thanks for all of your comments.  I am not looking for any specific types of updates.  I have just updated to Adobe Photoshop CC 24.4.2 (2021) which according to some research, has fixed some bugs and included improved enhancement features.  I am only asking if any further Photoshop updates are planned because as an instructor, teaching Photoshop, I can then plan on what to cover with students when in a new version comes out.  

Adobe doesn't publish a list of upcoming Photoshop cc features, I would assume.

Adobe don’t publish a list of upcoming Photoshop features but here is list of features in each version:

That would be a cool class, covering Photoshop features before they're available in Photoshop!

Have you been to Adobe MAX?  The Sneak Peaks event - usually held on the second evening of the conference - gives us a look at what the various teams at Adobe are working on, including Photoshop.

Since 2020 was free and online, most of the sessions are available.

MAX Sneaks 2020:

Unfortunately, Photoshop does not seem to participate in the public beta program that can be accessed via the Creative Cloud Desktop application, but you can get a look at features and fixes for Illustrator, After Effects, Media Encoder, Character Animator, and Audition.

Your lesson plans will have to be flexible as all Adobe products are essentially works in progress. 😉

The core Photoshop tools are much the same today as they were 10 years ago.  Beginners need to master those tools first no matter which version they have.

Thanks again for all the info!
