What is difference between Photoshop New and Photoshop v20.0.7

[JacquelineHebert]

I dont know which one Im supposed to update? What is the difference between the 2?

Hi, yes, i have exactly the same problem! Not just with Photoshop but there seem to be various 'double' updates on the programmes, and on the face of it very little difference! This does seem a bit confusing on Adobe's part. Adobe, please help!

Ok what I ended up doing is going on the current PS, LR and Bridge (these I use) and clicking on About Photoshop or Lightroom or Bridge it shows you what you are currently on ie Bridge 9.1.0.338 so I know what to update.  I am assuming I dont update the other one that is there. 

I t would be nice if Adobe could clarify what we should be updating to.

Hi Jacqueline, thanks for info. I did the same as you and this seems to be fine. Thank you, Richard

Hi

Maybe Photoshop New is version 21.0

Version 20.0.7 can be used together or uninstalled.

[JacquelineHebert]

Yes could be but then put that so we know.  Just noticed if you click on the ...  it will say Versions beside the the Update button it shows  you the 2 Photoshops 20.0.7 and Photoshop 21.0 So that must be the new one.

[JacquelineHebert]

Do you normally unistall previous versions I dont remeber ever doing that.

Hi,

The new major version of Photoshop released today is 21.0.0. Here is more information on the changes: https://theblog.adobe.com/creativity-is-everywhere-now-photoshop-is-too-begin-the-journey-of-photosh...

The update to Ps 20.0.7 is for just bug fixes: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/photoshop-20-0-7-is-now-available

Hi

I think it's better to leave v.20.0.7 until you get used to the new version.

This is the look of the screen that you are talking about, correct?

You can install major versions alongside each other, keeping existing and known versions around while checking on the new features and workflows in the next major version. The updates for each in this case are from separate requirements aligning very closely together (new Max release & fixes needed for Catalina with previous version). You can jump up to the new major verion as well, if you want to save space and just have a single application (just be aware that 3rd party plug-ins may not migrate depending on how they are installed).
