How Do I Update My Adobe Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 2:54 pm

Adobe Photoshop is a widely used program for crafting images and graphics. The software has been around for over three decades and is continually updated with new features. Despite its popularity, some users are unclear on how to update the program.

There are two primary ways to update Adobe Photoshop: through the Creative Cloud app or by downloading the updates directly from Adobe.com. We’ll cover both methods so you can decide which is best for you.

Updating Adobe Photoshop Through the Creative Cloud App

The first method is to update Photoshop through the Creative Cloud app. If you have an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription, you likely have this app installed on your computer.

You can also download it from Adobe’s website. Once installed, open the app and sign in with your Adobe ID.

With the Creative Cloud app open, click the Apps tab at the top of the window. Then, find and click Photoshop in the list of apps. On the next screen, click the Update button next to Photoshop.

Note: If there isn’t an Update button next to Photoshop, it means you have the latest version of the software and no update is available.

PRO TIP: If you are using an older version of Adobe Photoshop, you may need to update it to the latest version in order to continue using it. Adobe Photoshop is a constantly evolving program, and new features are added with each new release. If you don’t update your software, you may miss out on new features or bug fixes that could make your workflow faster and smoother.

Updating Adobe Photoshop Directly from Adobe.com

The second method for updating Photoshop is to download the updates directly from Adobe’s website. This method is best if you don’t have (or don’t want) a Creative Cloud subscription.

Note:: Even if you have a Creative Cloud subscription, you may prefer this method as it offers more control over when and how updates are installed.

To get started, go to Note:: If you see a message that says “This product requires Windows 10” (on Windows), or “This product requires macOS 10.13 or later” (on macOS), it means your computer doesn’t meet the minimum system requirements for running Photoshop.

Conclusion

In conclusion, there are two ways to update Adobe Photoshop – through the Creative Cloud app or by downloading updates directly from Adobe’s website. Updating through the Creative Cloud app is best if you have a subscription, while downloading updates directly from Adobe’s website is best if you don’t have a subscription or want more control over when and how updates are installed.
