Adobe: Critical issue with the 23.4 desktop Photoshop release 

June 14, 2022

Please do not update Photoshop to 23.4 or 23.4.1. If you have already updated to 23.4, please roll back to 23.3.2.

“The Photoshop team has found a critical issue with the 23.4 desktop release and recommends rolling back to the previous release.”

Adobe Support Community: Roll back Photoshop 23.4 to 23.3.2

UPDATE (Jun 19, 2022): Adobe swiftly released v23.4.1, but it did not fix the issues that emerged with 23.4. The Adobe Support Community forum has been buzzing with reports of all sorts of issues, https://community.adobe.com/…/phot…/ct-p/ct-photoshop, and our developers’ team continues to monitor the updates.

Please stay on 23.3.2 for now (there are no changes relevant to retouching in the latest versions), while all these errors are being sorted.

Adobe Photoshop CC2021 Update

Oct 20, 2020

A very small percentage of our users report issues with the migration of our panels while updating Photoshop CC2020 to CC2021.

If you already have the RA Panels installed in your copy of Photoshop CC2020 and are planning to update Photoshop to CC2021, please refer to this blog post for the recommended update settings.

If you have just purchased our panels, please note that our developers are currently updating the installation software to support Photoshop CC2021 – this process may take a few days to code and test on Mac and Win computers. Please contact our support team and they will help with manual installation if you prefer not to wait until the new installation files are available.

Once our panels are updated, they will become available in your Member Account for download and we will make an announcement in our Facebook group as well as in the stories of our Instagram accounts @retouchingacademy and @retouchingpanels.
