PHOTOSHOP CC VS PHOTOSHOP 2021

Question

Hello everyone. Just so you know, I am a newbie to the world of Photoshop.

I want someone to tell me the difference between the Photoshop cc, and 2021 versions, because these are being sold independently of one another. I have attached some screenshots just to be clear.

Any help is much appreciated

Photoshop CC has regular updates. The current version is CC v22.1. These use to be known as CC2018, CC2019 etc but that was dropped, as the year and version numbers did not match and it caused some confusion. So now it is just Photoshop CC version xx.x

Your screenshots show two separate application.

The first is Photoshop CC which is subscription only and gives the full version of Photoshop. If you are considering this, take a look at the Photography plan which includes Photoshop and Lightroom at less cost than Photoshop alone.

The second image is Photoshop Elements which is a cut down, simpler, version and can be purchased outright. It may meet your needs but is not as powerful as the full version.
