WAY №1. Photoshop CC Trial

I believe everyone has asked the question of whether it is possible to use Photoshop for free. It’s especially important for those who want to start editing photos in Photoshop. Actually, you can’t use Photoshop CC 2020 completely free forever. But you can surely download a free trial of Photoshop. It’s an opportunity to test all the software’s tools and decide whether it is worth paying for them.

The Adobe Photoshop CC trial is available for 7 days. After a week, Adobe will offer you the opportunity to continue using Photoshop by selecting one of the plans and buying a subscription. In order to get a free trial Photoshop for 7 days, follow these steps:

STEP 1.  The first step is to visit the official Adobe website.

STEP 2. Sign in or create an Adobe ID account.

STEP 3. Go to “Creative & Design” and choose “View all product”.

STEP 4. Among all the software options find Photoshop and click “Download trial”.

STEP 5. Go to the browser downloads and double-click on the downloaded Photoshop CC trial.

STEP 6. In the window that appears, log in using your Adobe ID. Fill out a form indicating who you are, why you’re using the program, and download Photoshop trial. 

STEP 7. Next, download and install the Photoshop trial on your computer.

STEP 8. Now you can use Photoshop for 7 days, starting from the day you downloaded the free-trial version. Remember that Photoshop 30day trial doesn’t exist. You have just one week.

WAY №2. Use Old Photoshop CS2 Version

In 2015, Adobe released Photoshop CS2 (Creative Suite 2). It was available for free download. Many users still try to use this old version of PS, but Adobe has disabled the activation server for CS2 products, including Acrobat 7, due to a technical problem. Photoshop CS2 was released more than 10 years ago. So, if you are satisfied with its photo editing tools and decide to use this program, you will have the following problems:

• The software is no longer supported on operating systems starting from Windows 7/OSX 10.7
• CS2 hasn’t been updated for more than 10 years, so the functionality and performance is significantly different from Photoshop CC 2020

In fact, if you have a rather slow PC or laptop, and you don’t use new operating systems, you can download an earlier version of Photoshop CS2. If so, go to the Adobe download web page and select "CS2." Adobe will offer you to click the button “I accept.” It’s connected with various warnings about deactivated servers and outdated software. Then you may check the CS2 and Acrobat 7 system requirements, select the language to download, and start downloading the appropriate files for the desired operating system.

How to Cancel a Photoshop Trial

If the chosen Photoshop version turned out to be inconvenient for you or you simply want to stop using Photoshop, you should cancel your subscription. To unsubscribe from Adobe, follow these steps:

STEP 1. Log in to your Adobe ID account.

STEP 2. Go to your account and click “Manage the plan” in the “Plans” section.

STEP 3. In the “Schedule and Payments” section, select “Cancel Plan.”

STEP 4. Specify the reason for cancellation and click “Continue.”

STEP 5. Within a few hours, Adobe will review your application and send a message to your email with instructions to follow.

Adobe Photoshop Prices

Previously, anyone could download Photoshop outright. You could make a single payment and enjoy using the program for an unlimited period of time. But recently Adobe changed its rules and created a new system –subscription plans. This means that you can choose one of the available plans.

You can buy Adobe Photoshop latest version for one month or one year. Then, you may prolong, change or cancel the subscription. In the case of a subscription renewal, you will be redirected to the official website, where you should make the payment. If you are not satisfied with the plan, you may cancel or change it in your user account.

Photoshop Pirated Version WARNING

Before attempting to get the software for free, check out a few of the hazards you may encounter:

• It is illegal

If you are a student or a teacher at any official educational institution, you have a small onus. You can save up to 60% of the total Photoshop price of the selected subscription. Also, if you aren’t a student or a teacher, do not be disappointed. Adobe makes interesting discount offers very often.

1. Students Discount

If you are a student or a teacher at an educational institution, you can get a 60% discount for the chosen plan. For example, choosing the most expensive plan “All Apps + Adobe Stock,” you will pay only $32.99 instead of $82.99 per month. In order to receive a student discount, you must be at least 13 years old. You must also be officially registered in one of the following establishments:

University or college — an accredited public or private university or college that provides degrees requiring at least two years of full-time education.
