Photoshop Elements 8 and Camera Raw

I have Elements 8 installed on my Dell notebook (INSPIRON mini) I have installed the Camera Raw 5.5 plug-in and I am using a Nikon D90 camera.
The plug-in has been installed in "Program files/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 8/Plug-Ins/File Formats/ and the file name is Camera Raw.8BI
Every time I click on a NEF file to load into camera raw, a window appears in Elements saying reading camera raw format and a progress bar under it, when the file has been loaded it opens up in Elements and not in Camera raw. I am now at a lose as what else I can do to correct this problem.
Any ideas???

1) Location of Camera Raw Plugin
With PSE8, the file Camera Raw.8bi has been moved from
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 8.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats
to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 8\File Formats
This is not documented in the ACR 5.5 Installation Guide yet, but PSE 8 comes with ACR 5.5 anyway.
2) ACR not loading, but PSE Editor
This sounds to me like the Screen Resolution Problem described here.

Photoshop Elements 10 and Camera Raw 8.7.1 Converter

Can the Camera Raw 8.7.1 Converter be used with Photoshop Elements 10?

I agree. But the problem here isn't with Adobe. If the camera manufacturers could agree on a common file format all of this compatibility mayhem could be eliminated. But they insist on maintaining their proprietary raw formats.
A common file format is not a panacea - somebody has to write the code to translate sensor data to RGB values etc.., and right now:
Nikon does that for Nikon,
Canon does that for Canon,
Adobe does that for Adobe.
Reverse engineering different raw file formats (to locate raw image and pertinent metadata) is comparatively trivial.
Yes, I realize that if Nikon and Canon did that for Adobe too (and packaged it in a DNG file for example, with camera profiles.., and did new lens profiles for them too..), then it would be better for Adobe software users, but there is just insufficient incentive for camera manufacturers to do that.
The bottom line - I agree that the problem here isn't with Adobe, but also: it's unfair to accuse camera manufacturers of being "stubborn or uncooperative..". It just doesn't make good business sense for them, or hasn't yet anyway.
Fingers crossed for the future and all, but I wouldn't hold breath..

Photoshop elements 12 and camera raw 8.5

Just so anyone that's interested knows, camera raw 8.5 is available for photoshop elements 12 by going to Help>Updates from within the pse 12 editor.
I believe the same limitations apply as camera raw 8.4, that being if you have windows xp, vista or mac os x 10.6.8 you
won't get the camera raw 8.5 update, because it doesn't work on those operating systems.
Camera Raw 8.5 and DNG Converter 8.5 now available

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...

Photoshop Elements 10 EditorへCamera Raw 6.6のインストール

Mac App Storeで購入したAdobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editorに、プラグインのCamera Raw 6.6をAdobeのサイトからダウンロードしてインストールしようとしましたが、できません。現在は、Camera Raw 6.5がインストールされています。Adobe Application Managerが立ち上がり、「該当するアプリケーションはありません」と表示されます。
どなたかうまくアップデートされた方はおられますか？
それともMac App Storeからアップデーターが出るのでしょうか？

Thanks for the reply: I'm aware I can set the colour space in the editor but my concern is that if it's exported from Camera Raw as sRGB then converted to AdobeRGB that there may be some information loss, my thinking being that getting it right early is better than later. Am I right in thinking that converting from sRGB to ARGB will lose information, or more likely won't have the full information set in the first place because the initial export from RAW is to sRGB?
I have to say I find the subject of colour management quite mystifying ... but I gather I'm not alone in that.
Thanks again.
Keeping in mind that a raw file has no color profile (it's not even an 'image', it's a recording of light intensity for each of the photosites laid out in a 'Bayer pattern' with Red, Green and blue filters) and that your raw file information will never be altered by any converter, you can be sure that it is always possible to re-process the raw file to aRGB without any information loss.
You are perfectly right that the resulting image (psd, tiff, jpeg...) when you save from the editor will keep its color profile and that converting sRGB to aRGB won't add any useful information; that's what I said in the other post.
When I was experimenting on that matter with other users in another forum, I was able to select previously edited raw files containing subtle tones in green/cyan and re-process them in aRGB instead of sRGB and I got better results on my 6-inks home printer.
Don't believe all images will be better in aRGB, there are not necessarily 'out of gamut' colours in all of your pictures.

I just realized that I have missed to put the link to the other thread:

Photoshop Elements Help | Processing camera raw image files

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/processing-camera-raw-image-files.html

gegjr wrote:
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...

Photoshop Elements 7 and Panasonic Raw images

I recently bought a Panasonic Luminex partly in order to shoot RAW images. My research told me that Photoshop Elements 6 and above would accept it. My PE 7 is telling me, however, that it cannot open the image because it is the wrong kind of file. Any guidance?

What model of Panosonic Lumix is it?
Unless it's Lumix DMC-GH1, then in all likelihood, you'll need to use the 8.2 dng converter
to convert your lumix camera raw files to dng copies, which then pse 7 should open.

Photoshop Elements 6.0 Camera Raw doesn't recognize my .RW2 files.

I downloaded the CameraRaw.8bi file, version 5.4.0.57 and copied it into: Program Files\Common Files\\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS2\File Formats after copying the old version to a safe place. I executed the CameraProfiles.exe program that was included in the ZIP file I downloaded. Elements 6 does not recognize my file format. I have a Panasonic LUMIX FZ28 that uses the .RW2 raw file format. The LUMIX FZ28 is included as a camera that this Raw Converter handles. The Read Me instructions for the install has the path as: Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS3\File Formats, so I renamed my CS2 folder to CS3 and tried that, NO GO, still won't recognize the RW2 format, then I renamed the folder back to CS2. I don't know what else to do!! Can someone please help me? Thanks, Smokey Joe.

Camera RAW goes another place for Elements, not in the Photoshop Creative Suite subfolders. Scroll down further until you see a section specific to PSE 6 on Windows, or there are instructions on this page about 2/3 of the way down:

Photoshop Elements cannot open Camera RAW from Canon EOS 7D Mark ii

I just bought Canon EOS 7D mark ii camera. I have Photoshop Elements 12. The program is unable to open RAW images.The message is "the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by installed version of camera Raw".
I downloaded 8.7.1 plugin but that is also not able to open the image.

You need Adobe camera raw version 8.7 Unfortunately your software pre-dates the camera. ACR 8.7 is only compatible with PSE13. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the DNG files will open in PSE12 (keep your CR2's as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.7.1
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.7.1
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

Elements, iphoto and camera raw

Hello
I have a few problems and hope someone can help me out. I installed Elements 9 (including the camera raw update), iphoto 11, Snow Leopard on my iMac. I did all of this so I can continue to shoot raw in my new camera, the Nikon D7000. I find I cannot import photos using the organizer from iphoto...it says iphoto has no media available to me... I cannot export from iphoto to Elements..I just get a blank screen. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Am I missing something? I can drag jpegs into Elements but really went through all this upgrading and purchasing so i could shoot in raw. I have camera raw 6.6 installed, and cannot even find the camera raw window in Elements. I cannot load straight from the camera or card either... thanks in advance and I really hope someone has some ideas.
Shannon

Hello Shannon,
Let me clarify a few things based on what you have said so far.
First, the latest version of the Camera Raw plug-in is 6.3. By 6.6, I imagine you are referring to your version of the Mac OS: 10.6.6 (which is the latest version).
Second, in order to import images directly from your iPhoto '11 catalog into your Elements Organizer 9 catalog, you have to have the 9.0.2 update installed.
I refer you to the following documentation for further details:
Use Photoshop Elements 9.0 with iPhoto | Mac OS
Import media from iPhoto library (Mac OS only)

Elements 7 and camera RAW

I have Elements 7 and a Nikon D90. I have downloaded photos taken in RAW onto my Mac using iphoto. My Mac doesn't have Elements on it; that's on our other Windows laptop. I now want to create a panorama using Elements on the laptop, so I've put the NEF images onto a memory stick. I went to the Editor in Elements, used 'open' and browsed to the memory stick, selected the images and opened them. The editor told me that it was "the wrong type of file". I checked in help. I've downloaded the current camera RAW update and restarted the laptop. Same thing has happened. Also link on the Adobe website for this problem is broken. Any suggestions please?

The 5.6 camera raw plugin is the newest camera raw plugin that works with pse 7
and should open D90 files.

Elements 8 and Camera raw

I have installed elements 8 on my Dell Inspiron mini and that works well. However I use a nikon D90 and am saving files in NEF format, in order to uwe this format I loaded Camera Raw and installed the files as indicated on the web site.
When I try to load a NEF file it is still loading dirtecty into Elements and not using tyhe camera raw plugin. Has any one had the same problem and if so how did you overcome it.
Help

Paige,
With PSE 8, Adobe dopped the minimum screen requirements from 768 high to 576 high. It appears that to meet those requirements, Adobe took a shortcut in at least two instances:
- When ACR is invoked, rather than showing the normal ACR editing window, it does the equivalent of the ACR Open Image command, opening the image directly in the Editor.
- The Advanced Dialog window of the Adobe Photo Downloader is not available.
I've seen no mention of these limitations in any Adobe literature. See these posts for more details:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2358011#2358011

I wonder if there are other undocumented limitations in functionality when running on short screens.
