Question

Is it possible to have two versions of Camera Raw installed at the same time?

So here's my question; I like the older interface of Camera Raw, and I know that there's an option to downgrade to earlier versions, but the latest versions of Photoshop do not work with those earlier versions (specifically Photoshop versions 23 and later).

There's also an option to have two Photoshop versions installed, so I can have, say, version 22 alongside version 24. But it appears that whenever I install a Camera Raw or Photoshop upgrade it affects both versions of Photoshop.

Is there a way to install two versions of Photoshop and each one

No. 

You can have each plug-in on the computer and 'swap' them before launching Photoshop. They need to go into the proper folder before doing so.

Hey, @costasx73791396

 

Currently, there isn't an option to keep two versions of Camera Raw installed on the same operating system because Camera Raw is not an app on its own like Photoshop.

 

We hope you understand. Thanks!
