With the 2014 release of Photoshop CC, Creative Cloud will install the correct version of Photoshop for your Windows OS (operating system): • If you have a 32-bit version of Windows 7 or Windows 8, Creative Cloud will install the 32-bit version of Photoshop • If you have a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or Windows 8, Creative Cloud will only install the 64-bit version of Photoshop. In order to optimize download and install time, we no longer package both the 64-bit and 32bit version in the same installer.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or Windows 8 and require a 32-bit version of Photoshop for compatibility with legacy plug-ins or device drivers, you can download the 32-bit version of Photoshop here: • Download: • Download: Additional info on the 2014 release of Photoshop CC: • • • •. Although the need for 32-bit Photoshop is ascribed to the need “for compatibility with legacy plug-ins or device drivers,” the fact is there really isn’t anything legacy about TWAIN drivers for scanners. For a number of scanners currently on the market, TWAIN is the only manner in which Photoshop may be used to directly scan from those devices! Lacking any Adobe-provided interface between 64-bit Photoshop and TWAIN, at least on Windows, the need for 32-bit Photoshop persists for more users than the Photoshop product management team believes need it!
