RAW Images In Elements 8

How do i open RAW files to edit in Photoshop Elements 8?

Editor>File>Open, or just send from the organizer if you use that. Note that if you have a newish camera the latest version of ACR that works in PSE 8 may not support your camera model. In that case you can either use the manufacturer's software and use PSE for any further editing, or try the adobe dng converter to create files that your version of ACR can understand.

Downloading RAW images in Elements 13

I've just bought a Canon 7D Mk11 and found that I was unable to download raw images into Elements 10. It was suggested that I might need a newer version of Elements and so have installed version 13 on Windows 7. Still wouldn't accept the raw files. The downloaded the appropriate raw plug-in/dng converter (8.7). Elements go through the process of searching for media and then transferring files. upon completion of this process it says that nothing was downloaded as the files were either damaged or of a file type not supported. I've never had this problem before with either PSE 7 & 10. Pulling my hair out. Any ideas would be appreciated.

When you did the update for ACR 8.7, did you go to the Help menu and select Updates?
If you load the edittor and go to Help -> About Plugins -> Camera raw does it report 8.7?
My version 13 on windows 7 recognises my Canon 7D Marl II raw files.

RAW image in Elements 10

I need to download whatever is necessary to handle RAW images in Elements 10 from a Canon s100 and a Panasonic Lumix LX5

Use this FAQ to determine if your camera is/can be supported in your version of PSE:

If it isn't supported, install the Adobe DNG converter to convert your RAW files to DNG, which can be opened by PSE:

Colour change/tone between Raw image and elements 9 image

Elements 9. Recently started having this problem that was not there when I first installed E9 I set the picture up in RAW and all seems well with result as I want it. When then opening elements from the RAW image, the image shown to me in elements is noticeably darker and has colour variation on it. Basically I can't trust the elements image to be reflective of what prints out or the RAW image. This is more than annoying now.... I'm reluctant to re-install as I don't want to experience any new problems as a result. Any thoughts on this from anyone please?

OK, checked the colour settings. Everything was set like you suggested.
But the problem has been way less noticeable during the past months. Maybe because I made a recalibration some time ago. The screendumps I attached where made this spring. So there might be a chance my monitor profile was corrupt back then, but got OK since i recalibrated.
I'll do some more tests, saying thanks for now for the quick reply.

Reading nikon d600 raw images in elements 11?

I use a Nikon D600 and Elements 11. I can read RAW files on one computer but when I installed Elements 11 on a new computer (Win 7 prof. 64 bit) I cannot open the NEF files. The message in Photoshop is that the file is from a camera model that is not supported by the installed version of camera RAW. Well, it is compatible with version 7.1.0 that is installed on the old computer but not the new one. I have tried to download a newer version of camera raw 7.3 but this is not reflected in the photoshop plugin information. what am I doing wrong? How can I open RAW images?

You need to install Camera Raw 8.3 RC. The camera is supported in that version. And, of course, it will be supported in ACR 8.3 when it is officially released.

Raw images in Elements

I am new to working with RAW images so when I download a RAW image the window opens within Camera Raw with all the adjustments. But it does NOT appear on the Photo Editor screen in elements. Do I need to first SAVE the raw image as jpeg to open it within Elements?

Make your adjustments, then click Open to send it to the editor and you can save the converted file in the format of your choice there.

How to open multiple RAW images in Elements 7

With Elements 5 I can open any number of RAW images and process each one separately, one at a time, applying corrections to each image individually in the RAW dialogue, clicking Open Image, repeat. When done each image is in the work space, allowing me to work further, crop, fix, Save as JPEG, CLOSE, etc.
With Elements 7 the capability to process multiple RAW images in the workspace seems to have degraded. I must process one RAW image at a time, or open many RAW images, Select All and have the correction(s) I apply to the first RAW image apply to all the RAW images. The first alternative is very time consuming while the second alternative is not acceptable.
Any help appreciated in how to regain the function I had with Elements 5.

If I select more than one image in the
left pain, either individually or by
Select All, Elements 7 dutifully opens
the RAW images selected in the
workspace.
The rub is that Elements 7 then applies
the RAW adjustments from the RAW image
dialogue (e.g., Brightness, Contrast,
Clarity) for the first RAW image to all
the RAW images
before placing them in the workspace for
further editing.
Elements 5 provides a RAW image dialogue
for each RAW image individually, one at
a time, when I open them en masse. As
near as I can tell, Elements 7 does not,
forcing the user
to either open each RAW image
individually or presume that the RAW
adjustments made to one image should
apply to all the others before opening
them in the workspace for further
editing.
This presumption will generally be a bad
presumption, forcing the user to the
one-at-a-time option, which is very,
very slow.
Thank you again,
Paul M.

Does not show Raw image in Element 6.0

I am using Photoshop Element 6.0 on Windows Vista. When I go to organizer view, sometime the raw images are viewable but most of the time it showup as gary icon with x. I can edit them and work on it fine. How do I enable them to view in Organizer?
Thanks,

Most likely, you've tripped over the PSE 6 bug in handling raw files. See solutions 2 and 3 of this Adobe tech note:

Is CS3 better for working with RAW images than Elements 6?

Hi all,
I am trying to find out if it is worth buying CS3 in stead of elements 6. Surprisingly, nobody has been able to tell me what the difference exactly is.
The best I got so far was that elements is a trimmed down version of CS3 but what more can I do with CS3?
As I am in England, CS3 would cost me about $1100, as opposed to $650 in the US, which is a bit much if you don’t know exactly what you get for that amount.
It says something on the adobe features section about BETTER raw processing, but not compared to what. Old version? Other software? Better than nothing?
I will be running it under XP, and the only use will be to optimise images from a digital camera in RAW format, 90%, and a jpeg (10)%, partially for web use, partially for prints.
The most common things are:
Correcting exposure when pics are unevenly lit.
Correcting color temperature.
Removing unwanted parts of a picture e.g. somebody stepping into the picture, advertising signs or copyrighted material.
Altering color of small parts of an image like that of a single flower in a bouquet.
Removing blemishes in portraits.
The photos will always stay single photos, I can not foresee any use for slide shows, animations, video or anything related.
From what I have been able to find out so far, it seems that Elements 6 will do all this and I don’t need to spend the extra $1000, or should I?

I have not used Photoshop Elements since version 2.0. In that version it was very similar to Photoshop as far as how the interface was designed. There were a few key elements that were missing such as the Curve adjustment. It is my understanding that there is a free download available from a third party source that will provide that capability.
As far as Camera Raw is concerned, you only have the adjustments that are on the basic panel and the details panel. That means you don't have all of the hue/saturation/luminance adjustments, or lens correction, or the capability to create presets, or to calibrate ACR specifically for your camera. As I understand it, it is not possible to load multiple images into ACR so that you can apply changes to all of them at once. And I don't believe you have the option of working in ACR in 16-bit mode.
With Photoshop Elements it is not possible to record actions to enable you to do batch processing of your images. What you have is a good quality basic single image photo editor.
I cannot tell you which to purchase. I don't know what you are accustomed to, nor do I fully understand your expectations. There are trial versions of both programs that you can download and try for 30 days to see what you think. They are fully functioning programs for that trial period, which should be ample time for you to determine which program will give you the most value.

Transferring NEF (RAW) images from elements 9 to elements11?

How do I tranfer NEF (RAW) files, images, from my Elements 9 catalog to my recently purchased Elements 11 catalog?

You can simply convert your PSE9 catalog during the installation of PSE11. For raw files your editing work is contained in the XMP file which sits next to the NEF in the folder. PSE11 has a new raw engine (ACR7) and if you wish to preserve your previous edits do not convert to PV2012. An explanation mark usually flashes up when you open a previously edited raw file. I leave mine set to Process Version 2010. But for all new shoots I use PV2012 as the new highlights/shadows/blacks/whites sliders are much more powerful.

How do I import RAW images into elements 9

Just purchased a computer with windows 8 & a pentax K-3 camera & loaded elements 9 & I can't import the photos I shot in RAW? How do I do this?

The K-3 is a relatively new camera and Adobe only updates whatever the current Elements is with new camera support. For you that is Elements 12 updated to use ACR 8.3 or newer.
So buy a new Elements or you can use the DNG Converter to convert a folder of PEF files to DNGs with Adobe software and they should open is your older PSE9 ACR plug-in, provided that you set the Compatibility level old enough in the DNGC to match whatever ACR version PSE9 has.

I am unable to import raw images into elements 11 camera raw from my panasonic lumix 200

I am unable to import raw files to E11 from my Panasonic Lumix 200. I get a response that says "nothing imported - no supportive file types" also "can't complete request as file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by installed version of Camera raw". I think I understand that I need at least a 7.2 version and don't know what I have. The camera is a fairly recent model.

I'm new to all of this and didn't know to look further down the menu. I started browsing under help and found how to register the product which I hadn't done and have been thinking that was the root of the problem. Turns out with your suggestion to get me started I was right - I hope, haven't tested it yet. I had 6.4 It is still running.

How can I get my Nikon D3x raw images to download into the organizer of Elements 6.0

I recently purchased a Nikon D3x and have been unable to view my raw images in Elements 6.0. I have downloaded the Raw 5.4 update. When that did not work, i uninstalled Elements and the 5.4 update and reinstalled them again. I am able to download the raw photos into the Elements Downloader, but once the photos go to the organizer, i get the screen saying that "the file is damaged or is a format that cannot be included". According to the Adobe Tech Support Dept., Elements 6.0 is able to support the Nikon D3x, with the Raw 5.4 update. Has anyone else run into this problem and have a solution?
I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thank you for your response dj_paige.
I was able to see that the 4.2 that came with the Elements 6.0 is still on my computer (by going to the (Orange tab ) Edit/Help/About plug in). I could not find the 4.2 listed separately anywhere on the computer so that I could delete it. Is there a way to do this? I am a true novice, so when you say to make sure the old plug in is removed from the File Formats folder are you talking about in Tools?
I am talking about the File Formats folder that gets created when you install PSE. You have obviously been to that folder already because you said you installed Adobe Camera Raw 5.4. Go to that folder in Windows, and make sure that the old plug-in (which was named CameraRaw.8bi, but may have been renamed by you) is deleted from that folder (not renamed, not moved to a subfolder). Then, following the instructions are on the page where you downloaded Camera Raw 5.4, install the new plug-in.

Can't open raw images in Photoshop Elements 9

I've just finished doing a fresh install of Windows 7 x64 SP1 onto my desktop PC. I installed Photoshop Elements 9 but it can't open any raw images (specifically Canon .CR2). When I open one of the same images with Photoshop CS5.1, it properly opens up the image in Camera Raw (6.6), allows me to pre-process the image, then edits it in Photoshop (as you would expect).
Before installing Photoshop, I did manually install Adobe Camera Raw 6.2, then upgrade it (multiple steps) up to the current v6.6.
I also copied the Camera Raw.8bi into the Plug-Ins\File Formats sub-directory of both C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 9 Organizer and C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9 but there was no change of behavior with Photoshop Elements 9.
This was working prior to the re-install of Windows 7.
Any suggestions on how to get this working? Thank you, in advance.

When I to to Help>Update, it offers to update Photoshop Elements to v9.0.3 but no mention is made of Camera Raw (any version). I'm not even sure how to determine what version it thinks is installed since there's no reference to Adobe Camera Raw in the Windows 7 Programs and Feature Control Panel applet.
Suggestions?

Opening raw images in Photoshop Elements 9

When opening raw images in Photoshop Elements 9 (File -> Open or File -> Open As), the Adobe Camera Raw dialog do not open.
Instead I get a window with a progress bar and the text "Reading Camera Raw Format".
The image then opens in the Photoshop Elements editor.
I have tested this with raw images both from Canon EOS 1000D and Samsung WB2000 cameras.
I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this issue.
I run Photoshop Elements on a HP netbook running Widows XP and with an Intel Atom N450 / 1.66 GHz processor, 2 GB ram and a screen resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels.

Unfortunately you can't see the raw converter in PSE 9 on screens less than 800 px tall, which means not on netbooks. PSE will automatically convert it for you, but that dialog box and a few others, like the Advanced Downloader window, will not appear.
