Hello,

I purchased Adobe Photoshop 7 years ago but only have it on CD. My new computer doesn't have a CD port. Is it possible to get a downloadable link?

Thanks

Photoshop 7 was released in 2002 when I was retiring 16 years ago.  Before Photoshop Scripting and Adobe Camera Raw.    These  became optional plug-ins added after PS7 was released a free Plug-in for Photoshop scripting for  PS 7 and paid Plug-in  the first  Adobe Camera RAW.  PS7 is really outdated and does not have 64Bit support so will not be able to take advantage of all your current hardware. It time to get some newer images editor. You may bas able to download it fron Adobe FTP site but what is ther may only be the PS7 updates. not PS7 itself for there was no activation back then.

Thanks JJ,

I had purchased this new when I opened my business and just like all my equipment, technology has surpassed and outdated all my stuff. I was just hoping to save a little money. Looks like everything now is by monthly subscription. Do you have a preference for the new apps?

You could try the trial of Photoshop Elements, which is a perpetual license if you purchase it.

Hi

Even if you could get Photoshop 7 as a download I doubt you'll be able to get it to run on a modern operating system, you could of course purchase a portable usb dvd drive

Thanks Ged. I'm leaning towards this option.
