Camera Raw in Photoshop Elements 12

Hello,
I read on chip.de that camera raw is freeware if you use a Adobe product. But the camera raw version in my photoshop elements 12 has only very few possibilities compared to the complete version. And there is also no update higher than 8.5. Is that correct?
So I need to buy Lightroom to have the full function of camera raw? Photoshop is to expensive for me as a hobby photographer.
Greetings, Nina

Those are Lightroom tools for those who don't want to use a regular pixel editor like Photoshop or Elements which have much more powerful tools to do that.
The idea with the reduced set of feature in the ACR version of Elements is that features available in Elements are not necessary in ACR. You need to use the Elements editor more frequently than if you are working with Lightroom.

  • Can't go from Bridge/Camera Raw to Photoshop Elements 8

    I originally installed trial version of photoshop CS4 and photoshop elements 8.  I decided I liked elements better so that is what I purchased.  I did fresh install off of purchased disk.  I can launch bridge from within PSE8, then camera raw from Bridge, but can't Open into PSE8 from bridge or camera raw.  I can open camera raw but when I finish and click "open" the file always tries to open into Photoshop CS4 (for which the trial is now expired). 
    I have updated to camera raw 5.7 and followed the instructions on the adobe site.  I can tell the camera raw plug in is running from the CS4 library   Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats  (deleted it there and it no longer worked)  and not from Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\Elements 8\File Formats. 
    Any suggestions on how to get my PSE8 to play nice with bridge and camera raw and run the camera raw plug in from my PSE8 file formats instead of CS4\file formats?   

    Yes I am using an Imac with snow leopard.  Thank you for your help!  I changed every file association I could in the bridge file associations from PS CS4 to Photoshop Elements.  
    Changing the file type association took care of the problem in bridge for .dng files as long as I open the dng file from bridge to photoshop elements (brings up camera raw which when click done returns me to elements).
    The panasonic file association in bridge is .raw but my raw camera files are .rw2.  Can't find that one in the associations of bridge.  The fortunate thing is they do open from finder into preview (if that helps at all).
    I can now work around this by changing them to .dng files, but that is kind of bulky.
    Thanks again for your assistance.

  • Is there a way to open Adobe Camera Raw without Photoshop starting?

    Is there a way to start up Adobe Camera Raw without Photoshop starting?  I think in the past it started without Photoshop starting; or did it?

    If you select the image in Adobe Bridge you can choose File > Open in Camera Raw. Adobe Camera Raw will open the image using Bridge as the host application and you won't have to start Photoshop. There's no way to open Camera Raw without a host application.
    If you can't find Adobe Bridge on your computer and you are a Creative Cloud subscriber, Bridge is one of the programs you can install using the Creative Cloud application.

  • How to open a jpg file in camera raw in Photoshop CC (2014)?

    I know i can do it via bridge but do i also have some option than using bridge?

    You can open a jpeg or tif into camera raw from photoshop by using:
    File>Open As>Camera Raw (windows)
    File>Open and change the Format to Camera Raw (mac)
    You can also open any open document into the camera raw filter
    Filter>Camera Raw Filter
    If you want all jpegs or tifs to always open in camera raw, you can go to Photoshop(Edit)>Preferences>Camera Raw
    and set Jpeg and Tiff handling to Automatically Open All

  • Corrupted RAW in Bridge CC, Camera RAW and Photoshop CC

    Hello,
    I am using up to date versions of Bridge CC, Camera RAW nad Photoshop CC and I have the following problem.
    - after transfer photos from Canon EOS 6D to computer thumbnails in Bridge seems to be fine
    - when I open file in Camera RAW file seem as below example
    - when I open file in Photoshop CC file seem as below example
    - when I open RAW in IrfanView image seems to be fine
    - I can open image in IrfanView, save as TIFF and in Bridge and Photoshop seems to be fine
    - the problem occurs randomly, about 5% of images from 500 images
    Do you have similar problem? Does anybody have any idea?

    The previews are ok in Bridge because it's just a preview jpg, not the actual RAW file.   I'm not sure why it would open OK in Irfanview.  I had a similar problem after a HDD crash and tried Irfanview with no more luck than any of the Adobe programs.
    Have you tried Adobe's DNG converter to see if you get the same result?  Is this a consistent problem, or just this one time?

    RAW images in Lightroom aren't opening in camera raw in Photoshop.  Instead, I have to open the image in Finder before it will open in Camera Raw in Photoshop.  How can I correct that?

    Your question is a little unclear. In a "normal" Lightroom/Photoshop workflow the raw images do not open from Lightroom into Camera Raw. Lightroom has all of the Camera Raw functionality in the develop module. When you choose to open an image in Photoshop, and Lightroom and Photoshop are synchronized (i.e. referencing the same version of Camera Raw) then Camera Raw is simply used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments as the image is transferred to Photoshop. If Camera Raw is an older version then Lightroom offers you the choice to open the image or create a PSD or TIF file that includes all of the Lightroom adjustments. But in either case, opening in Camera Raw is not part of the workflow. It is possible to open the image as a smart object or convert the image to the smart object in Photoshop and then open it in Camera Raw. That is done from within Photoshop or is one of the open options in Lightroom. If you choose to go the smart object route the image first has to be opened in Photoshop and then from there you can open it in Camera Raw.

  • How to turn off Camera Raw in Photoshop CC?

    How do I turn off Camera Raw in Photoshop CC?  When I am trying to open an image from Bridge CC it automatically opens in Camera Raw.  I've tried everything I know to turn that feature off ... and I know it is just a matter of know what button(s) to push :}

    Thank you, Jim ... I knew that ... just had a brain cramp I guess

  • New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer.

    New Camera RAW in Photoshop CC 2014 won't open multiple Panasonic RAW (.rw2) at the same time from Windows Explorer.  If I select 2 raw files and click "Open" Camera RAW will only open 1 raw, then when I click "Done" it will close and open the second, sequentially.  Previous Photoshop CC and RAW worked fine, it would open mulitple RAW at the same time.  How do I fix this?

    If it worked for you that way previously there isn't much to comment about. I just tried opening multiple images from Windows Explorer with Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw 8.6, and the first image would open and when I clicked cancel then the second image would open. But if I wanted multiple images opened in Camera Raw to work on them simultaneously it was necessary for me to open them from Bridge. I just did it as an experiment because I normally use Lightroom. Anyway, IF it was a feature at one time to work as you described, it doesn't seem to be that way now.
