The only non-subscription version of Photoshop currently for sale is Photoshop Elements, or you can use a non-Adobe Photoshop alternative. Now that Adobe no longer sells CS6 applications, you can get Photoshop only through a paid Creative Cloud membership. Namely Photoshop CS2, which was released in May 2005. The key to this whole deal is that Adobe allows a free Photoshop download only for an old version of the app. This free app is available in both iOS and Android varieties, or use can use it as a web app. If you’re used to using Photoshop, then you’ll find Pixlr’s user interface easy to pick up quickly, as it’s very similar.
Pixlr is a free alternative to Photoshop that boasts more than 600 effects, overlays and borders.
