Hi devushka,

There is no legacy format in Photoshop. That is found in Illustrator where you export a file as a Legacy Illustrator and choose which version you wish to be sure of compatibility. In Photoshop there are some things, mostly vector aspects of fonts, shapes which can't be used in Photoshop 6 and earlier. If you flatten an image early versions of PS (at least from v5 up and probably v4) will open it.
