Is Photoshop Extended version 13.1.1 for Mac available for download?

Hello — at present, I am running Photoshop CS6 Extended for Mac. This version is 13.0.6, which I bought years ago. It will not update any further than 13.0.6. I am aware that, if I install the Creative Cloud app, it would be possible to download PS from Adobe via the CC app, and then to update it to version 13.1, as Adobe explains. However, on a forum somewhere (not the Adobe forum), I read that in version 13.1.2, Shadows do not work in 3D, so I want to download a slightly earlier version than 13.1.2 — i.e. 13.1 or 13.1.1.

Is it possible to choose which version to upgrade to after installing the above Photoshop CS 6 download, or is one forced to accept the 13.1.2 (i.e. the very latest) update?

Thanks for any helpful replies to my question.

T.T.F.

    When you install different versions of Photoshop with the CC app, you get to choose the release levels defined within the app. I don't see multiple versions available for CS6 in my app. There is no finer granularity. Here's what the options are for previous versions of Photoshop within the CC app. I assume that any branch installed will update the the highest available release in that branch (if you let the update run).

    However, if you go with CC, why not jump all the way to the latest instead of trying to finagle an intermediate 13.x version?

    Thanks, Michael, for your reply. I have not yet verified by downloading etc., but, since it has come from you, I am confident that it is the correct answer, and I will mark it accordingly. Thanks again!

    Though I derive a great deal of pleasure in using Photoshop, just as a hobby, I don't feel that a monthly payment would be justified, given the limited usage I make of it. That's why I shall stay with P.S. CS6 for as long as I have to. To buy this version cost an arm and a leg. It was very good value, of course, but was all that I could manage to pay.

    PS: Finally, Michael, would you be kind enough to clarify something that I am in doubt about, regarding Creative Cloud membership? At present, I have a Creative Cloud Free membership. With this grade of membership, would it be possible for me to download Photoshop CS6 v. 13? I see that it shows in your list, in the illustration in your answer. However, when I sought to download it, about a year ago, it did not show in my Creative Cloud desktop app list. Kindly state whether it would be downloadable, if I installed the Creative Cloud desktop app again. Thanks very much!
