Install Adobe Firefly: Install the Creative Cloud and Photoshop Beta - Step-by-step guide

In this guide, you will learn how to install Adobe's Creative Cloud and use the Photoshop Beta with the AI tools from Adobe Firefly. Photoshop Beta allows you to try out the latest features that are currently only available in the beta version. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the entire installation process, from signing up to installing the software.

Key Takeaways

• You need the Creative Cloud to access the Photoshop Beta.
• The installation is free, and you can test it for 14 days.
• After the trial period, a monthly fee of 63 € will be charged if you do not cancel the subscription. The following will show you how to set up the Creative Cloud and install the Photoshop Beta.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Accessing the Creative Cloud

To install the Creative Cloud, visit the Adobe website. Simply enter "Creative Cloud" in Google and click on the appropriate link. Alternatively, you can directly visit the Adobe website.

Then click on "Try for Free." You will be redirected to another menu where you have the opportunity to test the Creative Cloud for free. Note that you must cancel this within the first 14 days if you want to avoid the monthly charges.

Step 2: Selecting a Payment Method

After clicking on "Try for Free," you will be prompted to select a payment method. In this case, I choose PayPal. It is important to note that you do not have to pay anything initially unless you do not cancel your trial within 14 days. Otherwise, a monthly fee of 63 € will apply after the trial period.

If you already have a subscription, you can access it; otherwise, you should be aware of the different apps you can access. If you mainly want to use Creative Cloud for Photoshop, then the subscription is definitely worth considering.

Step 3: Downloading Photoshop

Once the payment method is selected, you will be redirected to an interface where you already see the option to download Photoshop. Click on the download link and wait for the installation to begin on your computer.

The download will be automatically saved in your downloads folder. Click on the downloaded file to start the installation. On this interface, just click through as you are used to with any installation.

Step 4: Installing the Program

The installation may take a moment, so please be patient. In the meantime, you have the opportunity to answer some questions about your usage behavior. However, you can skip these if you prefer. I recommend selecting "Hobby and personal use."

Next, you will be asked if you want to see tutorials and if you have used Photoshop before. You can respond based on your knowledge. I choose "Extensive knowledge" as I have gained experience in this area.

Step 5: Creative Cloud and Photoshop Beta

Once the Creative Cloud is installed, it should look accordingly, depending on your chosen design mode. Make sure to navigate to the Photoshop Beta application, as the AI tools of Firefly are currently only available in this version.

Click on "Beta Applications" and select "Install" for the Photoshop Beta. This installation process may take some time. Just wait until the installation is complete.

Once the installation is complete, simply click "Open". After that, you are ready to try out the new features and explore the various possibilities of the new Photoshop Beta in connection with Adobe Firefly.

Summary

In this guide, you have learned how to download and install Adobe's Creative Cloud and use the Photoshop Beta. The installation is easy, free, and gives you the opportunity to test the latest features of Photoshop. Remember to cancel your subscription in time if you do not wish to continue using it.
