Updated Ps 24, 23 and 22 vanished !

[docortho]

I downloaded the Ps version 24 yesterday as I am a subsciber, but had the version 22 and 23 also on my mac and sometimes I used both to do some creative work. During downloading, it prompted me to remove older version to save space, which I did although i had truckloads of space on my Mac. Now when today I switched on my Mac, the version 22 and 23 had big question marks in the dock area ! How to get both the older versions back is my first question to everyone ? Secondly how can I get the Flood 2 plugin, if at all from where ? Thanks

Hi @docortho you chose to remove the older versions, so it did.

Unfortunately Adobe only allows downloads for the current version (25), the immediate previous version (24), and v 22.2 (the last 3D supported version). Versions 23 wont be available for you.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't realise that it would end up like this. On
top of that, in my dock and the cloud app, it is being shown as Photoshop
25, but in my dock, it is showing as Adobe Photoshop 24 ! Why is that ?
Which version did I download yesterday ? Also wherefrom do I get the v22 ?
Just keeping two versions on my Mac to have a backup if one falters, please
help. Thanks

Hi @docortho is it showing up as "Photoshop 2024"?

You can download 22 from the Creative Cloud desktop app. Just go to the application, click the ellipses button and "Other versions"

Version 25 is Photoshop 2024.

I wonder if they're ever going to make this less confusing?
Let's see, Photoshop 2024, v25, released in 2023!
Makes perfect sense, yes?

Perfectly said 👍🏻
Unnecessarily confusing

When updating, Creative Cloud showed Settings, and had changed Delete Previous Versions to ON, which I've always had turned off.
