Hi Everyone,

 

I wanted to install older version of PS on my mac, but seems like there is no such option available anymore. Is it just me or creative cloud got rid of that feature.

 

Need PS 2021 to run Retouch panels.

 

Please assist if anyone knows the solution.

 

Thank you.

In the meantime you can run photoshop 2022 using Rosetta and see if your plugins work.

 

 

Go to /Applications/Adobe Photoshop 2022

right click on the Adobe Photoshop 2022.app, then click Get Info

 

Check Open using Rosetta

In the Creative Cloud Desktop Application go to Creative Cloud Preferences>Settings>Apps>Show Older Apps

 

The screenshot below is from an intel install of macOs Monterey on a 2012 MacBook Pro.

However, on an M1 Mac Studio with macOS Monterey, the preference to show older apps isn't there, yet it must have been there in a previous creative cloud desktop version, since i still have the Other Versions listed and about a week ago i installed photoshop 2021.

The Creative Desktop Application on both macs is 5.7.11

Hi Jeff,

 

I have tried to change the app settings, but no changes

maybe it is because of different version of the creative cloud. I have definitely seen the option of older version install before, now it is just gone
