How far back for 3D/360 support?

[CultivateLove]

 I've been asking ChatGPT best way to edit 369 files. I explained I used to in photoshop, but that I've seen photoshop did away with the 3D tab. Chat GPT said Creative Cloud used let's you install older versions of photoshop, but only the last few, each year. It also said it thinks Asobe no longer goes back far enough to versions of OS that allow 3D editing.

 Is that true? Does owning photoshop not let you go far back enough to versions that had 3D? Thanks.

Adobe offers the current and one previous version of Photoshop. In addition they have kept 22.2 for a limited time because it is the last version to have stable 3D.

You can download it from your creative cloud app.

I used DAZ3D quite a bit, it's also free.   Lots of free programs that can handle 3d images. 

Below is one of my favorite 3D renders-- everything you see below is part of a 3D scene.

Thank you. I will look into it for other purposes, but what I wanted it for, was to have editing tools like layers, pen selection, et , while in 3D view (which let's me view the photo in full 360, instead of flat.

 As far as im aware, no other software can do that.

In case you can find it, Photoshop 2020 still has the 3D tab and functionality.

You can read the official Adobe KB for why 3D was removed in Photoshop:

Thank you. I guess this is my only option, at least until Adobe removes that version. The rep basically said "for now." So,  I guess I'll use that and unsubscribe whenever they remove it.

Well, it's been available for a long time now, way past its normal expiry date. And it's explicitly for this reason, as the last version with functional 3D.
