Open the Photoshop webpage. Go to https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html in your browser.
Click Free Trial. It's at the top of the webpage. Doing so will immediately take you to a download page and prompt Photoshop to begin downloading onto your computer. You can click the Try again link in the middle of the page if Photoshop doesn't initially download.
Open the Photoshop free trial. Double-click the Photoshop download file to begin setting up Photoshop on your computer. If you're on a Mac, you may first have to verify the file before you can install it.
Launch the Photoshop installer. This step depends on your operating system: Windows - After double-clicking the Photoshop file, click Yes when prompted, then wait for the Installer window to open. Mac - After opening the Photoshop DMG and verifying the file (if necessary), double-click the Photoshop icon to begin the installation. On older versions of Photoshop, you might have to double-click an Install file as well.
Sign into your Adobe account. Click Sign In, enter your account email address and password, and click Sign in at the bottom of the window. If you don't have an account, click Sign Up instead, then enter your first and last name, preferred email address, country of residence, and date of birth. You can then click Sign up at the bottom of the window.
Indicate your level of experience with Photoshop. Select an answer from the "My skill level with Photoshop CC is", "I am a", and "I am downloading Photoshop CC for" drop-down boxes.
Click Continue. It's a blue button at the bottom of the window.
Follow any on-screen instructions. If prompted, answer any other questions or accept the terms of use. Once you've completed the setup questionnaire, Photoshop will begin downloading onto your computer. For example, on a Mac, you may have to enter your administrator password before Photoshop can begin downloading.
Wait for Photoshop to finish downloading. The download process will usually take between 30 and 45 minutes on a decent Internet connection. Once Photoshop finishes downloading, you'll be able to open and use it to your heart's content for 7 days, after which point you will need to buy the full version to continue using it. It's technically possible to continue making new Adobe accounts and re-downloading Photoshop, though doing so is questionable per Adobe's terms of use.
