Hi

A lot has changed since Photoshop version 2018 was released, Adobe are continually adding new features with every upgrade, so features in the new version will not be available in the previous versions

Hi @defaultl2iam93g4jbp 

No. When PS 2019 was released, there were no more updates to PS 2018. The most current version of PS 2018 is 19.1.9. There have been several versions since then.

 

If your computer meets the system requirements, they will be available in the CC app.

Hi Jane. Is your hard drive like 90% Photoshop? Wait, I'm guessing you have as many versions of InDesign and Illustrator installed 😉
