PSE 11 and ACR version

I run PSE 11 and ACR Ver. 7.4.
Also, have LR 4 and have yet upgraded to LR 5.
My question is this: Adobe indicates Camera Raw 8.1 is available for PSE 11. I have been checking Help>Updates and am informed that this Camera Raw update (8.1) is not available. I keep getting the message that PSE 11 is up-to-date as checked (with Camera Raw 7.4). Can somebody clarify this - is this update available for PSE 11 or is Adobe's statement incorrect?
Next question - what version of ACR includes the adjustment tools? Is that part of 8.1?
Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Yes, I know that Adobe has put some statement on at least one of their web pages that ACR 8.1 is available for PSE, but I don't think that's correct. I don't think ACR 8.1 will work in PSE until PSE12 is released ... but ... I don't really know for sure.
Next question - what version of ACR includes the adjustment tools?
What adjustment tools do you mean?
Some adjustment tools in ACR will NEVER work in PSE (for example, the adjustment brush and gradient filter, and probably the new Upright features as well)

PSE 9 and ACR

Hi, I am about to download the ACR version for PSE 9; however, there is no file camera raw.8bi in the appropriate file (... Plug-Ins/File Formats). Is there because the brand new out of the box PSE 9 doesn't come with that file??? Do I just go ahead and download the ACR ver. 6.2.0.29?
Also, when it is downloaded will I know which file is the 64 bit and which is the 32 bit?
Lastly, does anyone know how to disable the Adobe Photo Downloader from Organizer in PSE 9. My previous version 5 had an option to disable launching but I don't see that in PSE 9.
Thank you for any help.

The ACR plug-in is stored in a "shared" location so that both Organizer and Editor can access it.
On Windows 32-bit, it's here:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 9\File Formats
On Windows 64-bit, it's here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 9\File Formats
On Mac OS, it's here:
/Library/Application Support/Plug-Ins/Elements 9/File Formats

PSE 8 and ACR 6.2

Hi
I have PSE 8 which currently has ACR 5.5 installed as a plugin. This will not read raw files from my new camera (Sony Alpha 580). I have down loaded ACR 6.2 to see if this would support the files, followed the instructions, moved the 8bi file as instructed, but it still shows version 5.5, even if I doubleclick the new 8bi file. I am running windows 7/64 bit.
Update - I copied over the "Win 64" version of the 8bi file. This doesn't show as having installed, despite the fact that I am running 64bit windows. I've replaced it with the 32-bit version, which runs and shows it as vewrsion 6.2. Eureka. It doesn't support the sony A580.
How do I get ACR support for my camera? I don't see that I should have to buy a new version of PSE!
Hope someone can help - thanks
Paul

Either upgrade to a newer version of Elements or download the free DNG Converter and convert the raw files to DNG.

PSE 8 and ACR 6.1 perspective correction?

After reading about the perspective correction that is supposed to be available in ACR 6.1, I downloaded it and installed it into PSE 8 (Windows 7 64bit). Installation seemed to work. It does say 6.1 when I open Camera Raw. However, I don't see any of the cool new features like lens correction, or
perspective correction. Do they not work with Elements 8?

PSE has limited access to many of the ACR adjustments. The ACR you have with PSE8 will actually perform the adjustments if they are in the sidecar or embedded in the image, but only Photoshop or Lightroom have the user-interface to specify those adjustments and place them in the sidecar or embed them in the image metadata.

PSE 10 and ACR plug-in

Downloade and installed ACR v.6.6 for my Canon 70D and PSE 10. PSE 10 will not allow download of raw files. Pleae help!

The 70D requires ACR 8.2 and so requires PSE12.
Your options are:
Use the software provided with the camera to convert the RAW files to TIF for processing in PSE10
Use the free DNG converter from Adobe to convert the 70D CR2 files to Adobes RAW DNG format. They can then be opened in PSE10 Camera RAW - http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/photoshop/extend.displayTab2.html#downloads
Buy PSE12.

PSE 9 and ACR 6.5.0.216 not showing the same colors

As of this week (it was fine last week) when I "open as" for a raw file ... ACR opens and shows (acr defaults and "as shot".... This was fine until today. Now the colors that I am seeing are dull and lifeless.... when I recover highlights or fill light and open in PSE9 the colors are correct again.
I have not changed the color settings under preferences... it states "none" as it always has. The camera calibration is Adobe Standard (as it always has been). I shoot a D700 and a D7000 and they are both showing up this way in ACR now.

Not sure unless you have accidentally made changes. Are you set to Auto or Default. You could re-set your own default settings for the future.
Try clicking the little dropdown menu icon to the right of the basic panel. Clear imported settings and choose your own default settings to save.

Upgrade to Photoshop Elements 10 - Security Advisory for PSE 8 and earlier

https://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-03.html
Based on the aforementioned advisory, those of you using Photoshop Elements 8, or earlier, should probably upgrade to v10 (or at least 9). Although it has been stated that, "Adobe is not aware of any attacks exploiting these vulnerabilities against Adobe Photoshop Elements to date", it seems silly to run software that contains one or more known critical vulnerabilities and Adobe is NOT going to fix the issue since PSE 8 and earlier versions are no longer supported. Nice of Adobe not to bother fixing a vulnerability in one of their software products when the version involved is only ~2 years old (PSE 8) but the mentality appears to be one designed to virtually force users to pay for upgrades every year or two. FWIW.....

I admit that it is rather strange that they just issued that advisory when they probably knew about it when pse 8 was stiil being sold.
Since pse 8 shares much of the code of cs4, look at the date on this advisory for cs4 and yes adobe doesn't have a good track
record about updating photoshop elements and that is kinda bothersome.

How I install PSE 10 and end up with 64-bit version?

I just installed PSE 10 on my Win 7 64-bit system. From reading these forums, I understand that disc 2 of the 3-disc set contains the 64-bit version. But the referenced install help (and the disc labeling itself) says clearly to "start with disc 1" in either case. So I did that, expecting at some point to be prompted to switch to disc 2. But I never was. The default install location was in Program Files (x86), which I belatedly realize is the wrong folder. So I guess I need to un-install and re-install.
But what's the right way to get the 64-bit version? Manually modify the install location to Program Files w/o the x86? Start from disc 2 anyway, despite what Adobe says? I haven't yet started PSE 10...is it better to uninstall now, or start PSE 10 and make sure new catalog etc gets established?
(I have a similar posting over in the Downloading & Installation forum, but find I get lots faster responses here.)

Yeah as Michel says PSE is only 32 bit; so you only need one disk and Program Files (x86) is the correct location. Only use disk 2 if you want to install the 30 day trial of the video editing software Premier Elements which does have 64 bit support.

PsE 8 Mac, ACR 5.7, no "Open Image" button in ACR?

A forum search was unproductive, so I apologize if this question has an obvious answer.
I've been a user of the full version of Photoshop for many years. Now I find myself temporarily using PsElements 8 and ACR 5.7 on someone else's iMac.
After editing an image in ACR from Bridge CS4 (the one that comes with PsElements), I don't see an "Open Image" button in ACR. How do I open the image in PsElements 8?
Puzzled. Is this a sign that ACR is not installed properly?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply, Barbara.
I am fully familiar with the full version of ACR that comes with the real Photoshop. That's what I use at home on my desktop machine.
It's the PsElements version that I know nothing about.
The last paragraph of your post may hold a clue, but there's more to the issue I'm seeing here. As you well know, the Mac version does not come with the Organizer, but with Bridge CS4. I followed the PsElements-specific instructions for the ACR 5.7 download, as follows:
To install with Adobe Photoshop Elements 8:
NOTE: You must follow all of the new instructions in order to
successfully install the Camera Raw Plug-in for Photoshop Elements
1. Exit Photoshop Elements and Adobe Bridge
2. Open the download file and double-click CameraProfiles.dmg and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user's home folder).
4. Navigate to: (Please read directory carefully)
Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 8/Plug-Ins/FileFormats/
5. Copy the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new
folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need
to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw, from the download into the same folder as in Step 4, and overwrite the exiting file.
7. Launch Photoshop Elements or Adobe Bridge.
That works fine for PsE 8 but does not let Bridge see, preview or open RAW files. I had to go ouside the instructions and put another, additional copy of the ACR plug-in either in ./ Library/ Application Support/ Adobe/ Plug-ins/ CS4/ File Formats/ Camera Raw.plugin or, alternatively, in ./ Applications/ Adobe Bridge CS4/ Plug-Ins/ , otherwise Bridge shows me only generic icons for the raw files.
The
Applications/Adobe Photoshop Elements 8/Plug-Ins/FileFormats/
location does work as advertised for PsE, regardless.
My guess is I should uninstall PsE and Bridge, re-install both and then update to ACR 5.7.
If that still doesn't work, I'll see if there is a PsE version 9 for the Mac. The computer owner barely uses PsE as it is and does not want to mess with the full version of the real Photoshop.
Personally, I'll be happy to go back home on Monday and forget this ordeal with PsE. :-/
With the above instructions—taken from the Download page—there is no way to see thumbnails and/or previews of raw file in the Bridge provided with PsE. Adobe has definitely gone down the tubes—and I know you're not Adobe.

…Basically in bridge acr, you use the save button to save in the format of your choice and then open that file into PSE if you wish.
Wow! That is certainly NOT the case with ACR hosted by Bridge in the full version of the real Photoshop!
Thanks for the help. Much obliged.

Issues with Adobe PSE 12 and Premier Elements 12 plus DiskWarrior 4.4

Since upgrading to the final version of OS X 10.10 Yoesemite I have issues with Adobe PSE 12 and Premier Elements 12 plus DiskWarrior 4.4. I don't recall their being any issues while I went through the Beta testing process. The Adobe products (PSE and PE) give me a configuration message "error 16" and it tells me to uninstall and reinstall. I have done this a few times/ It seems to go through the whole install process until the startup where it crashes. I downloaded PSE 11 and at least it starts up but I haven't used it to do anything. Also DiskWarrior 4.4 does not load up from the hard drive anymore (error message) and when I boot it up from disk is doesn't give me the option of correcting permission when repairing files and folders.
At lease all of otheother software including Photoshop Lightroom 5.6 seem to be working.
Very sad

Barbara,
Yes, I accessed the "updates" menu from the Help pull-down menu. I also accessed the updates using the Mac Terminal application with results shown in my original post. Regardless of whether I used the Help menu or the Mac Terminal app, the AAM tool still responded with:
Update Failed
   Updates could not be applied
   The error log file may help you in identifying the problem. The, try updating again. If the problems persist, contact customer support for further assistance.
The error log file read as follows:
   Photoshop Camera Raw 8.5
   There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M1I210
   Looking at the the output of the Mac Terminal app, it shows:
   ... hdiutil: attach failed - no mountable file systems
   Is this relevant?
Regarding your follow-up message pointing to:
Update 12.1 installation errors | Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements,
the files referenced in this link are present, are correctly named, and they are in the correct locations, so it would appear that these issues are not related to the ACR 8.5 update problem
Thanks

I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5. When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different. Why doesn't it appear edited?

I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5. When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different. Why doesn't it appear edited?

People who have Photoshop, but don't have Lightroom, need ACR so that they can use Raw files. Without ACR they could do nothing with those (they may also like having ACR so that they can work on other kinds of image using the same kinds of adjustments and techniques, as are used with Raw files).
People who have Lightroom, can get access to Raw files regardless whether ACR is present or not. They can use Lightroom on other kinds of image also, using the same methods. LR can pass images directly into Photoshop without passing via ACR (or else does so transparently, which amounts to substantially the same thing).
ACR does not, strictly speaking, even need to be installed for this external editing to happen. In fact, not even PS needs to be - since a different image editor can be used instead, while still retaining the Adobe Raw conversion etc.
Lightroom "subcontracts out" specialised external tasks, in this workflow, but is still your "main contractor": the image is otherwise located, viewed, managed, adjusted/presented and output entirely using LR.
So IMO we can divide image processing into:
operations that involve pixels and layers and layer masks and adjustment layers etc (of the kind done inside Photoshop)
operations that involve parametric edits (of the kind done in ACR where you are not using a Lightroom based workflow; otherwise, done inside Lightroom)
When PS is called in, that's because those tasks are impossible or unsuitable to do in Lightroom. But those tasks can't be done in ACR either - by definition, since LR and ACR have exactly the same image processing "feature set".
Lightroom is irrelevant to the Bridge + ACR + PS workflow. This workflow requires both your PS and your ACR to be current enough, to support your Raw format etc.
ACR and Bridge are irrelevant to the LR + (image editor) workflow. It is in this case, only LR which needs to be current enough to support your Raw format etc.

Photomail in PSE 7 and/ or 9 - need help

Somehow I no longer can add text in my photomails (both in PSE 7 and 9 (trial version), where I could do this before. Has someone any ideas on how to fix this for this is one of the features I really like in PSE and also was the reason to install PSE 9 to see if I could add text in this version.

Are you talking about adding text in Stationary dialog when in Photomail workflow or it is in email client windows. For me it works in PSE7 and PSE9 both.

Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer: Full screen view of lower quality than with PSE 10 and before?!

Upgrading from PSE 10 to 11, I noticed that when I watch my images with the organizer in PSE 11 in full screen view mode (F11), while the images load faster, they are shown in a lower quality than in PSE 10 or any other version of PSE that I owned before. In PSE 11, after the initial viewing in full screen (in the "fit screen" mode), when I click with the mouse on an image to display the "100%" view, there is a delay and the program says "Loading...", after which the 100% view in the full screen mode appears. When I then click another time with the mouse on the image to get back to "fit screen" mode, I get an image of better quality than during the initial view!
So it seems like the program first gives a faster, but lower quality view of the image in full screen mode, and only after the user requests a 100% view, it actually loads the image with full detail, which is then preserved when going back to the "fit screen" view. This is a serious issue for me, because I also use PSE organizer to present my pictures to other people, and I don't want to show them some lower quality versions of my images, but the full quality ones, without having to first choose "100% view" and then go back to "fit screen".
How can I make the PSE 11 organizer give me a full-quality full screen image right away, as this used to be the case in PSE10 and before?
(I have both versions, PSE 11 and PSE 10, now on the same computer and tested this to confirm that the PSE 11 initial full screen view is of lower quality than the PSE 10 one. Also in PSE 10, there is practically no delay for displaying the "100%" view afterwards, indicating that the image was loaded with full detail right away.)

- Update:
* Adobe's senior support level has replied to me about this issue as follows:
"Thank you for contacting Adobe.
When you press the F11 button, Organizer 11 uses the Bicubic
interpolation mainly because it is less processor intensive compared to
Bicubic Sharper, and it helps to create the preview on the fly, rather
than based on the thumbnail cache.
When you zoom out from the 100% view, Elements Organizer uses Bicubic
Sharper. This is because Bicubic Sharper is used for image reduction, so
if the 100% view is larger than the available screen space, it will need
to shrink. The Bicubic Sharper images may look more crisp however, Like
any sharpening algorithm, Bicubic Sharper introduces halos and
edge-enhancement artifacts. Those halos are typically slight, but any
further sharpening (which you'll need when preparing an image for print,
for example) will exaggerate them.This is expected behavior. The
Organizer isn't great for determining exact quality, I recommend you to
use Elements Editor for this purpose.
Thank you,
Bobby Johnson,
Adobe Technical Support."
* My reply on this to Adobe is:
"Hello Bobby,
thank you for your reply. Now at least we are talking about the same thing.
Why I am wondering about the choice to use the "Bicubic" algorithm when pressing F11 in PSE 11 is that all previous versions of PSE that I owned (which spans from PSE 6 to PSE 10) did use the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm right away when pressing F11. So apparently Adobe didn't worry about processor intensity of this algorithm then, and computers are getting all the time more powerful.
It is true that in some situations, the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm may introduce halos and edge-enhancement artifacts, as you write. On the other hand, especially on smaller resolution screens, the results of the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm may look more crisp and lively, while the ones of the "Bicubic" algorithm may look more flat and lack fine detail. This is not only my personal opinion, but as I have brought up this topic in several forums, I can see that I am not alone here.
So assuming that the question about preferring "Bicubic Sharper" or "Bicubic" as a default algorithm when pressing F11 is partly a matter of taste, and partly a matter of the hardware the user has available, why can Abobe not give the user an option to choose which one he/she would prefer? For instance, F11 gives full screen view with "Bicubic" applied, and CTRL+F11 with "Bicubic sharper"? Or make this an option in the preferences?
As I am using the PSE organizer also to present pictures to other people (and I know many people who use it that way too), I would like to show them my pictures as sharp and detail-rich as possible. Therefore, I would highly appreciate an option as described above to be implemented in the PSE 11 organizer via an update. It should be fairly easy from a programming point of view, since both algorithms are already contained in the program anyway."
* If you support this suggestion of mine as stated above, please also contact Adobe accordingly! The more support requests they get for this, the more likely it is that they will implement this update! You may mention my case number 0184046323 for reference.
