Release year
Photoshop 2026
7 releases of Photoshop 2026 are covered here, 27.5 to 27.11. 18 issues reported for them are tracked by Adobe and not marked fixed, and 26 were marked fixed in a later update. A year is not something you install, so this page has no verdict of its own.
We started reading the bug board on March 18, 2026. Releases from before that are not covered.
