Can I upgrade Camera Raw support in Elements 10 to level 8.3 or 8.4?

I just bought a Nikon D5300 and I wanted to shoot see some test images I shot in Camera Raw.  Trouble is that Elements 10 support for NEF files is at level 6.7, and, according to the Adobe charts, the D5300 NEF files are supported at level 8.3 or 8.4 because the camera is newer than Elements 10.  So, I tried to run an update in Elements 10, but it's telling me that it's up to date.
So, how do I get support for my new camera in Elements 10?  Is there a way to upgrade the Camera Raw support to level 8.3 or 8.4?

I posted a second question because I tried the DNG converter, but it doesn't support the 5300, or I can't get it to work.  So, my thought was to try to find a copy of PSE 11 I could register, and then try to upgrade it. 
Soapbox mode on.
Much of the conversation about raw files relates to the continuous improvement process of both the camera manufacturers and the software makers.  In my case, Nikon released the D5300 in November 2013 with full support for it in its View NX software.  And I can use that software to create JPEG's that PSE 10 can work with, but it's far from an optimal solution.
Adobe brought out PSE12, and the Camera Raw plug in covers a host of new cameras including mine.  OK, but the issue is that those of us who have 'older' software then are forced to upgrade to the PSE version that will support our cameras, instead of just installing a plug-in, as we do to our browsers when a new version of Flash Player comes out.  the only thing constant is 'change'.
It's apparent from comments I've been reading on the Forum that many of the Adobe employees who answer questions here are put out by the pace of change and the amount of work they have to do in order to respond to new cameras, etc.  That's their job, and they should complain less and work more, IMO.  If those Adobe employees are irritated by the questions we users ask, perhaps they should reconsider the attitude they display in answering them, or maybe even a career change.
However, Adobe itself should be making the plug-ins for PS, LR and PSE so they can apply to older versions when possible.  Adobe needs to set a horizon on what older products to work with, and not just the latest version.  When I worked in software development, that horizon was -2 versions plus the two in development.  By that logic, PSE 10 should be capable of supporting the latest versions of the Camera Raw plug-in.  And if I were in Adobe's software development unit, this is what I'd pitch for.  Microsoft does it, and Adobe does it too with Microsoft products, so why not with PS, LR and PSE?  It's not that hard, people.
Soapbox mode off.
I can and probably will use the Nikon software for raw images.  If I want to use some special effects, I can come back to PSE or LR.  But I'm not disposed to throw another $80 to Adobe for a product every time I buy a new camera. 
Would you be?

  • Update problem - can't upgrade Camera Raw

    I recently upgraded my Macbook Pro. I am trying to reinstall my Photoshop CS5 Extended (student edition) and complete the upgrade to Camera Raw 6.7, but I get an error saying "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later." I click on "contact customer support" link, which brings up a page with the title " Error: This serial number is not for a qualifying product."
    I bought this myself, and did not deactivate it prior to wiping my hard drive and upgrading my operating system. Is this the problem?
    How can I update Camera Raw, and all the other Adobe extensions for that matter?

    Here is the error that appears :

  • Camera Raw update in Elements 11 Editor

    I just bought Photoshop Elements 11 Editor from the Mac App Store. I need to update Camera Raw to version 7.4, but there is no Update option under the Help menu. How can I upgrade Camera Raw?

    Hi Eduardo,
    Unfortunately Apple does not allow Updates via any other application and ACR gets updated via Adobe Application Manager on desktop which is a different updater app hence this can not be done for PSE 11 MAS build.
    Thanks

  • Can I upgrade the Camera Raw support in PSE 11 to version 8.3 or 8.4, so it supports my Nikon D5300?

    I just upgraded my camera - and the Camera Raw support in PSE 11 is not able to support it.  Can I upgrade the Camera Raw plugin, or is Adobe going to force me to buy an upgrade to PSE 12 or another of their products?

    You'd better complain to Nikon... Just like other camera manufacturers who issue new raw formats for each and every new camera. Adobe and all other software companies have to reverse engineer each new format. Those manufacturers could use the open and public DNG format (a few do).
    Adobe answer to that problem is to provide a free software, the DNGconverter which can batch convert a folder of raw files to the universal DNG raw format which your old Elements version can read.

  • I have a canon D70 camera and I can't download my raw files to elements 11 or lightroom 4

    I have a canon D70 camera and I can't download my raw files to elements 11 or lightroom 4

    If you don't use the DNG Converter to create DNGs from your raw files, then you'll need to purchase LR 5 to us LR with your camera that is newer than LR4; however, there is something you can do for PSE11:
    ACR 8.3 will work with PSE11 to open 70D files, but there is no installer, so you have to be a little devious to get things to all work.  You also need to be on a Windows 7 or 8 since ACR 8.3 supposedly doesn't work on Vista.  I should also say that the process outlined below does work on my Windows 7 64-bit computer, but I also have PS-CS6 and PS-CC installed on it, so it is possible that ACR 8.3 is dependent on something that wouldn't exist on a computer with only PSE installed on it, but someone else will have to confirm that.
    I was able to get 70D files to open in ACR 8.3 on PSE11 by doing the following:
    Download the ACR 8.3 for Windows update for PS-CC via the direct download link on the Adobe Blog:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2011/03/keeping-photoshop-up-to-date.html#notconnected
    Unzip this downloaded setup.zip to a folder somewhere.
    Inside the files from that zip is a folder called payloads \ AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-031213015928.  Note that this is the folder without x64 in the path.  PSE11 is a 32-bit program so we need the 32-bit version of the plug-in.
    Inside that folder is another ZIP called Assets1_1.zip so unzip it somewhere.
    Inside Assets1_1.zip there is a file called 1003.  This is the largest file in that zip and is the plug-in you need.
    Copy this 1003 file into the existing PSE11 camera raw plug-in folder:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 11\File Formats or for a 32-bit Windows OS, into:  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 11\File Formats
    Rename the existing Camera Raw.8bi to Camera Raw.8bi_7 (in case something doesn't work and you need to rename it back, later).
    Rename 1003 to Camera Raw.8bi
    After these steps you have the ACR 8.3 plug-in installed in PSE11 but not the camera and lens profiles, so install those by downloading and installing the DNG Converter 8.3:

  • Can't install Camera RAW 6.3 into Elements 9

    I have downloaded the installer for 6.3 but when I go to install it, I get this message. "Some updates failed to install."  When it tells me to fix the problems below, all it says is:  installation failed!
    I need this update in order to open RAW images from my Canon Powershot S95.
    I am working with Elements 9 on both an iMac running OS 10.6.8 and onto a new MacBook Pro.
    I have spent an hour reading everything I can and haven't been able to find any place to send this question to Adobe by email.  The phone system for help has more than a half-hour of wait time.
    Can someone figure out this problem?
    Cherie

    Thank you. I couldn't find the Mac update section at the Adobe site by 
    using the various search options.
    But,
    The new download 6.5 installed without trouble. However, the "open with" 
    command still prompted Elements to respond with an "Unrecognized file type" 
    error, even though Elements was not listed as the default application.
    Trying to open a nef file within Actrobat still showed the nef files grayed
    out as unopenable with the application.
    I tried to do the manual copying of the camera raw.plugin from the Assets 2
    folder as you suggested. H owever it does not appear to be used in the 
    newer version (6.5). Instead, there is a Profiles directory containing two 
    further directories: CameraProfiles and LensProfiles.
    The CameraProfiles folder contains a series of further folders for various 
    camera types, and each folder had a number of .dcp files. I can't find a
    "camera  raw.plugin" anywhere within Assets 2.
    So, in sum:
    1) The disk image Elements9CameraRaw-6.5-mul-AdobeUpdate downloaded from 
    Adobe installs correctly.
    2) The default program type for .nef files was changed to Elements
    3) Elements will not open a .nef file either from "open with" or within the
    application selecting open from the menu.
    Hoping you can help me work around this problem.
    Thank you.

  • 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.

  • Trying to upgrade Camera Raw- Elements file agent won't allow

    While trying to upgrade Camera Raw, Elements 5.0 has an error message that says to turnoff Elements 5.0 File agent. I cannot find this anywhere. I use CS3 and Elements 5.0 but cannot upgrade to the new camera raw. Any one know how to shut off Photoshop Elements 5.0 file agent.exe ???
    Thanks.

    The file PhotoshopElementsFileAgent.exe is located in C:\Program
    Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 5.0. It may be on the list of Windows XP
    Services. Possibly also listed as Adobe Active File Monitor or Adobe Active
    File Monitor V5. Set any and all of these services to 'Disabled'.
    Additionally, it is a good idea to go to Elements Organizer preferences and
    uncheck 'Automatically check for Services' and also uncheck 'Auto Launch
    Adobe File Downloader on Device Connect'.
    And, yes, ACR 4.3.1 should be manually installed. As a matter of fact, turn
    off the automatic updater service, too (in >Help).

    Which camera make and model are your Raw files from?
    Camera Raw ships with Photoshop and is constantly upgraded by Adobe to keep up with new cameras as they are released to market.
    It's likely that your camera requires a version of Camera Raw which is not compatible with your CS5. Or you may simply need to upgrade Camera Raw via Help > Updates in Photoshop.
