Hello,
Recently, I created a document with Photoshop on another computer than mine, which I saved on a USB drive and would like to open with my own PC. The problem is that my PC only has Photoshop 2017, and I don't remember if the computer I created it on had Photoshop 2017 or 2018. Is it possible to obtain this information from my document, and if so, how?
Thank you!

    Hello
    right-click on the file
    then properties
    a file created with version 2017 will be compatible with 2018
    the opposite is not necessarily true

      In properties, it says it opens with Photoshop 2017, but isn't that just because I only have the 2017 version of Photoshop on my computer?
      The file opens fine with Photoshop 2017, but I've lost some photos (it tells me they are missing) and part of my text is highlighted when it wasn't originally.

        NO, it's indeed the version with which the file was created
        as for the photos, I don't know Photoshop.
