To update Photoshop in Windows 10, access the updates panel via the Help menu in Photoshop. It's generally a free feature from Adobe.
Here's a step-by-step breakdown:
- Open Adobe Photoshop: Launch the Photoshop application on your Windows 10 computer.
- Navigate to the Help Menu: Look for the "Help" option in the menu bar at the top of the Photoshop window.
- Select "Updates": Click on the "Help" menu. You should see an "Updates..." option. Select it.
- Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App Opens: This will typically open or bring to the forefront the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application. If you're not signed in, you'll be prompted to sign in with your Adobe ID.
- Check for Updates: In the Creative Cloud app, go to the "Apps" tab. Here, you'll see a list of your installed Adobe applications. Photoshop should be among them. Look for an "Update" button next to Photoshop if an update is available. If there is no "Update" button, it means your Photoshop is up to date, or there may be a "Check for Updates" option you can click.
- Install the Update: Click the "Update" button to begin the update process. The Creative Cloud app will download and install the latest version of Photoshop.
- Follow On-Screen Instructions: You might need to close Photoshop during the update. The Creative Cloud app will guide you through the process.
Enabling Auto Updates (Optional):
You can also configure Photoshop and the Creative Cloud app to automatically update, so you don't have to manually check for updates:
- Open the Creative Cloud Desktop App.
- Go to Preferences: Click the account icon in the top right and choose "Preferences."
- Apps Tab: Select the "Apps" tab.
- Auto-Update: Enable the auto-update option for Photoshop (or all apps) as desired.
By following these steps, you can easily update Photoshop on your Windows 10 machine and keep it running with the latest features and bug fixes.
