Does elements 8 support camera raw?

I am debating whether to upgrade my cs3 photoshop to cs4 or to purchase the less expensive elements 8. My biggest concern is whether or not elements 8 supports camera raw and does it have the same tools within camera raw that cs4 has. I really do not want to break the bank on photoshop cs4 or 5, but don't want to spend the money on elements to later realize that I may want more out of it. I am just a photo enthusiast right now, but plan on expanding my hobby in the near future.

Hi,
Yes, you would have Camera RAW in PSE 8 with all basic edits. Some options would not be available which are there in Photoshop howver.
You can try using a trial version of Elements 8 to decide if the options are of good use to you.

    Yes according to this list:

    Elements 13 can be updated to ACR 9 from the menu Help/Updates. The D810 requires only ACR 8.6.

    Yes, as long as you update your camera raw plug-in (ACR) to version 8.3 using Help / Updates… in the PSE Editor.

  • Get an Error window, The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files

    I am using CS2 and it would not open up my latest RAW files, I was getting a warning Could not complete your request because it is not the right kinds of document. So, I checked the Camera Raw Plug-in and it says Version 3.7. I see that my camera an Olympus E-20 is supported. But it is not opening the Raw files, the day before I took jpeg and they have opened. I will not trash my Adobe Photoshop CS2 because it was a royal pain to install and I don't know where the CD is.
    I installed the latest DNG Converter and when I try to open up the folder which has all the RAW images that didn't open in Adobe, I still get an Error window that says, "The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files." Why? It says it supports my Olympus E-20. I actually have the E-20n, I don't think that is the problem. My RAW icons usually show up as small image thumbnails and this time they are gray icons only with the incorrect date under the icon. Is there another product I can use without spending money? These images I took in RAW were special and I don't want to lose them. Please help!

    Hello, I was using only CS2 with my Olympus E-20n for 5 years, no problem. It just started acting up in RAW this year. I downloaded Picasa that same day and now it seems to be opening up all of my RAW files that didn't open the other day. So, I think Picasa installed a new plug-in adaption to CS2 because now all my RAW icons have a new logo on them, the same one that's in Picasa. Strange, but it works now and I am not complaining anymore. I love CS2 and the many ways I can adjust RAW files, so I am using it, Picasa is a sideline now that I can take a look at many thumbnails and it organized all my photo files by the year and folders. Amazing free software. I have probably 60,000 images in my computer and an external hard drive and Picasa picked them all up and made a library, cool.

  • Does elements 13 support raw files

    ?

    Yes it does support raw files BUT if it supports your raw files depends on which camera created the raw files.
    Here is the list of cameras supported
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Tell us your make and model and we may be able to confirm support for that camera.

  • Will photoshop elements 12 have camera raw 8.6 support?

    will photoshop elements 12 have camera raw 8.6 support?

    Just a note abour the 8.5 update:
    This morning, opening my computer I got a warning message from 'Adobe application manager' informing me of the availability of that update. I agreed an the update started. It soon stopped with a dialog asking me to stop 'elementsautoanalyzer.exe'. I was sure it was not running in the background. After checking that, I simply clicked on the 'continue' button and the update ran normally. The new version is good in the editor and the organizer.
    So, if you get that message, don't panic...

  • Does Elements 10 support the Nikon D3200 RAW Files?

    Does Elements 10 support the Nikon D3200 RAW Files?

    Not yet. You need to wait for the next update. It's already been added to CS6 and Lightroom 4; so it should follow soon.
    If you can't wait and convert from NEF to DNG you can use PSE10 but always keep your originals as back-up and incase you need to use Nikon software.

  • Elements 11 and camera RAW 7.4

    I have downloaded a free trial of Elements 11, as I have just bought a D7100 and my CS5 does not support camera RAW. It has downloaded but has camera RAW 7.0 .... can I update a trial version to 7.4? and how do I do this?
    Many Thanks
    Gaynor

    Go to Expert Mode in the Editor and click:
    Help >> Updates
    Choose camera raw 7.4 and install.

  • PSE 9 does not come with Camera Raw 6.2?

    Photosho Elements 9 does not come with camera raw 6.2
    , I downloaded the trial version which came with an outdated 6.1... the only version of 6.2 is for PSE8 and does not work with PSE9 how is this possible? How can they release a product with an outdated ACR????Now we have to wait for an update to a new product???Come on people!!!

    Cheap shot, Phil. Up to now, Mac users got no Organizer but a special bonus: full Bridge, full access to full featured ACR. With this version, both platforms get the same stuff -- it's less than full Photoshop/Bridge CS5, at a small fraction of the price.
    I admit, as a Mac user who shoots RAW, I liked the old trade-off...but I can understand the desire to make the two products consistent. If that makes PSE "inferior" for you than you should stick with Bridge CS4/Raw 5.7, or move up to the full-featured siblings, or switch to Lightroom.

  • Elements 9 -Update Camera Raw

    Failure to update Elements 9 with Camera Raw 6.7.  Error U44M1P7

    You're welcome.  If you're wanting the ACR update because of a new camera that you need to support, you can always use the DNG converter:

    to convert the files for use in PSE9's ACR editor.

    When I selected "Save Image" there is an option to select the size of the JPEG preview. Is there anyway to extract the JPEG and does the JPEG contain the adjustments that were made to the Raw image?
    The "Save image" command just saves (really converts) the original raw into another raw format : the DNG format created by Adobe to get a universal raw format instead of a specific raw format for each camera in the range of each camera manufacters... Using that feature is your choice.
    And what you see in the bottom line : 8 bits or 16 bits has nothing to do with a preview, it is the choice of 'color depth' for the image the converters sends to the editor.
    So, your choice is either :
    - to click 'Done' which saves the settings of your conversion (white balance, exposure, clarity...) to a very small 'sidecar' file of the xmp type
    - to 'Open' in the editor where you can work with all features of the editor (which include saving the output file in any format - jpeg - psd - tiff - png...

  • When does Photoshop cc supports the raw files wich are coming from the Nikon D5500 ?

    Hello,
    When does Photoshop cc supports the raw files wich are coming from the Nikon D5500 ?
    Iam a very happy user of Photoshop, specially for my raw files... i find it frustrated that i can't work on my files for now..
    Greatings Danny

    The D5500 was just released and Adobe is working on support. Cannot say how long for sure, but it should be within a month or two. Meanwhile, you could shoot in NEF+JPEG and set Camera Raw to open your JPEGs as well. Not as much data, but will be better than nothing..
