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 Photoshop Elements 11. I purchased a Canon 70D, which raw files are not supported by PE11. How can I upgrade the Camera Raw plug in? Thank you.

    Please help: I cannot find any answer.

    You need PSE12 to read your CR2 files. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Can't Upgrade to Camera Raw 6.3 in LR 3.3

    I can't upgrade to Camera Raw 6.3 because - althought I run Lightroom 3.3 - I'm only running the CS4 version of Photoshop.
    This means that Lightroom won't process my Canon S95 RAW files.
    Have I misunderstood something?
    By the way, I KNOW I can use Canon's own software to process the S95 RAW files, but a workflow's a workflow; wanna use Lightroom!!
    thanks

    LR 3.3 uses ACR 6.3 and will import any supported RAW files, (which includes the PowerShot s95) and render them for use with any version of PS.
    ACR 6.3 will only work as a stand alone application with PS CS 5.
    If you have LR 3.3 and you do not have PS CS5 you do not require ACR 6.3 as it will not work with CS 4 or earlier versions of PS.
    To use your files in PS just open from LR (right click on the file and select edit with PS). Lightroom will then render the file for use within any version of PS without the need for ACR. When you do this LR should clearly state that it is rendering the files as CS 4 does not support ACR 6.3, this makes no difference to the rendered files once opened in PS as LR and ACR both use the same engine. Process 2010, lens adjustments etc. (the new stuff) will all be present in the file irrespective of the PS version.

  • Where can I find the Camera Raw Filter in CS6?

    I would like to know where I can find the camera raw filter in Photoshop CS6 Student Version? I used the PS CC testversion and really liked working with this filter and miss it now. Can anyone help me?

    The Camera Raw filter isn't in Photoshop CS6. That is one of the new features that has been added to Photoshop CC. Photoshop CS6 is not going to have any enhancements added to it. The development cycle is finished for CS6.

  • When will the Camera Raw Support Cannon G7X?

    When will the Camera Raw Support Cannon G7X?

    When it is. Adobe never makes those kinds of announcements in advance.

  • Can't find the Camera Raw Dialog Box

    So, I go to one of those great photoshop seminars by Scott Kelby. I've been using elements for a few years. Decided it was most definitely time to upgrade to PS CS4.
    I got it today. I'm pumped. I'm also a bit confused. I am trying to find the camera raw dialog box spoken of in literature and help files. I have a cannon XTi and recently shot some stuff in raw, confirmed the extension of .cr2. I've opened it using bridge and tried various other ways to get the camera raw plug in to activate.
    Best I can tell, it is either fully invisible, I'm a noob, or it isn't displaying something or otherwise working. I read in the help files about "click on the basic tab in the camera raw dialog box,"  and so many other things I'm supposed to be doing in the camera raw dialog box.
    Where in the world is this box? How do I know it is the camera raw dialog box? Is it labeled that? I've spent all evening going through help files, reading materials, and have already learned a lot about PS CS4. But now I'm lost. The world is dark and grey and my life has no meaning. Well, that is what my 15 year old is telling me right now because I took her cell phone away. Enough drama, sry   life with teenagers, Lord help me!
    Seriously, where do find the camera raw dialog box? How do I know a raw file, the canon cr2 format has successfully opened in raw? I only see .psd extensions and nothing looks different to me on the screen from opening a .jpg to opening a .cr2.
    Advise is appreciated.
    Robert

    First of all make sure everything is updated: Photoshop to 11.0.1 and Camera raw to 5.6.
    See: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    Then, if you double-click on a .CR2 file you should get the choice to open. Choose PS CS4.
    The file will then open inside PS with the Camera Raw dialog.
    Normally, if you are previewing in Bridge (which is the usual way) Cmd+R or a right-click on a CR2 file will open the ACR dialog.

  • Can't get the Camera Raw update to 8.3

    OK, this happens every time there is an update. I see that Adobe has an update for Photoshop CC, but the Creative Clod Desktop application says it is up to date, which it isn't. Have contacted Adobe support many times Twice today, the Chat people cut me off while transferring.
    What I have already done:
    Since I have been through this many times, I know the standard drill well.
    Log in and out via the desktop app. even go so far as to log out, quit, reboot the computer and log back in. Didn't help.
    Delete the AAM & OOBE(?) stuff and do the same thing. Didn't help.
    Uninstall and reinstall the Photoshop CC application. Reinstalled the 8.2 version of the plugin.
    Uninstall and reinstall the Creative Clod Desktop application. Didn't help.
    Contacted Adobe support and got cut off twice.
    FWIW, I have a permanent license for Lightroom and got an update notice for it via the old style updater and it worked fine, but now I get a notice when I try to go to Photoshop that I need the Camera Raw 8.3 plugin which Adobe refuses to let me get.
    This happens with every update, but the trick that worked the last time never works again. To say I am frustrated would be a massive understatement.

    Oldbalddude to determine the exact cause of the installation failure I would recommend reviewing the installation log for Camera RAW update.  Please see Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html for information on how to locate and interpret your installation log file.  Please feel free to post any specific errors you discover to this discussion thread.

  • Can't Upgrade to Camera Raw 8.2 in CS6

    Downloaded Camera Raw 8.2 and ran the installer; it seemed to go fine. But, I don't think CS6 is recognizing it. Under Help/ Systems and Updates, it still lists ACR 7.4 as the raw converter. When I try to open a Canon 70D CR-2 file, which ACR 8.2 will cover, I get the msg: "Make sure you have the latest camera raw update in Help/ Updates".  8.2 is not being replaced in CS6. What's going on?

    Install what Help / Update offers.  "Camera Raw 7" is what ACR for CS6 is called even though it is up to 8.x, now.  This is to distinguish it from PS-CC's ACR updates which are designated as "Camera Raw 8".  Despite the Updates designations being different numeric versions they are indeed the same update which will be ACR 8.3, by now.
    I have PSElements-11, PS-CS6 and PS-CC on my computer and I have Camera Raw, Camera Raw 7 and Camera Raw 8 as ACR updates that are checked for.  If there was only ever one ACR update checked for and offered you couldn't update ACR for various products.
    On a Windows 7 64-bit system there should be two CR plug-ins, one for the 32-bit version of PS under Program Files (x86) and one for the 64-bit PS under Program Files.  Is it possible that you only have the 32-bit or 64-bit version of PS-CS6 installed or were there actually two Camera Raw.8bi files for CS6 and you only mentioned one?  If there was indeed only one, then perhaps something isn't isntalled entirely correctly and that is stopping the updates from working.  The only way to fix that would be to uninstall CS6 entirely, then re-install it which should put both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions on including the two ACR 7.x plug-ins, then do a Help / Updates and install the latest ACR 8.3 update.
    But before you do all that what does running Help / Updates do with Camera Raw 7 as the selected update?  Does that complete or does it fail?

  • Can't upgrade to camera raw 7.4 via photoshop CS6 help

    Just upgraded to LR 4.4 and when trying to edit a photo in PS CS6 got a message that I need to upgrade to ACR 7.4. I went  to PS CS6 help>check for updates and got message that my programs are up to date. Then I went to help>about plugins > camera raw and it still shows ACR 7.3. How do I update to ACR 7.4? Your website says this must be done via PS CS6. >help>check for updates.

  • Camera RAW Support for Nikon D2X w/10.4.3 Update

    After updating to OSX10.4.3, iPhoto, Preview, and Finder all support my Nikon D2X NEF (Nikon's version of RAW) images. This is really nice. Thanks, Apple.

    The D3200 isn’t supported yet, AFAIK, but may be soon.  Once it is, you could upgrade to LR 4.x or use the future DNG Converter to convert the NEFs to DNGs and open those in an old version of LR.  Personally, I think LR4 is worth the update even if you returned the camera.

  • Camera Raw support for Nikon D810, using Photoshop CS 5.1

    I know the last update supported the D800 - can we please get support for the D810 on Photoshop CS 5.1 (version 12.1 x64)?

    Current Version means whatever Adobe is selling and therefore supporting at the time the camera is released.  Right now, that would be PS-C6, PS-CC, PS-CC 2014, and Lightroom 5, and maybe Elements 12, although sometimes the last update of the summer doesn’t get to Elements at all.

  • 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?

  • Upgrade to Camera Raw 8.3

    I have just purchased a Nikon D610 and am now unable to load my RAW images into Photoshop Elements 12.  I believe I need to upgrade to Camera Raw 8.3 (I currently have version 8.0), but I can not see anywhere how I can download this upgrade and how to affiliate it PSE 12 so that I can actually use the pictures from my new cmaera.
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Thank you, that worked.  It was so simple, so apologies for being dumb.  But you have saved me lots of heratache and time.  As you can tell, I am new to Elements.
    Thanks again

  • Camera Raw support for new Nikon D810

    Hi, could you please advise when we can expect to see camera raw support for the new nikon D810.
    Thanks

    Adriana – I installed the download from the link in the 7/27 post and was able to convert my NEF files to DNG format from my new D810 camera, but could not view/edit the NEF-smalls. When I saw your latest post I used your link to go to that download and noticed that in the description it mentioned that the issues with the D810 NEF-small have been resolved.  I deleted/emptied trash of the 7/27 download and re-installed the one mentioned from your link – although they were both identical in file size and version: 8.6 – hmm?  I tried the converter – but nothing new was converted (I presume because all had already been converted before?).  However, CS6 is still not able to open/edit neither the NEF-small file formats, nor the DNG created from it.  I am thinking maybe I am missing a step, because when I select properties for Camera Raw in CS6, the version is 8.5.0.236 – is that ok (my CS6 version is 13.0.6 – and no other updates appear available)? I only downloaded the DNGConverter_8_6.dmg; installed the .pkg – did I forget a step? Thanks for your help!

  • Does Elements 11 Camera RAW support Nikon D4 files?

    Does the Camera RAW tool that comes with Elements version 11 support editing Nikon D4 RAW files?  Thanks.

    I cannot verify it personally, but PSE11 ships with ACR 7.1 and the readme for ACR 7.1 says it newly supports the D4:
