Total novice - canon 450d - elements 6 and raw files.

Please help a total novice.
I bought photoshop elements 6 a few months ago ( I have an oldish laptop and was worried it wouldn't cope with newer software)
I then bought a canon 450d and started to take raw photo - elements cant read my raw files.
I can see something about plug ins but it sounds like elements 6 isnt supported or is out of date.
please help ( turned 40 this year and ability to use tech is on the slide so please be gentle!)

I got a fantastic answer to this question about a week ago, got the plugin, installed and it worked fine.

  • Photoshop Elements 13 and RAW files from Canon 7DMII?

    I just received a Canon 7D Mark II and need some editing software that can handle it's RAW images.  I currently use Photoshop Elements 11 and really like it but the version of Camera RAW in that software cannot take the 7DMII files even though I did the Camera RAW upgrade that was available.  If I have to get more software, I would prefer to get Photoshop Elements 13 over Lightroom.  Can anybody tell me if Elements 13 has the version of Camera RAW that can accept those files?  Thanks in advance.

    You can always download the trial version before paying for it.  Use it for 30 days and then buy the boxed version to activate your trial product.  You only need to insert the serial number to activate the trial version if you decide to buy the boxed version.

  • Elements 11 and Raw file from Nikon D7100

    I have newly installed Elements 11 and downloaded the updated raw plugin 7.4 but it still won't open raw files from NikonD7100.  Any other tricks?

    Check that the 7.4 update installed correctly. You can do that from Expert Mode:
    Help >> About Plug-in >> Camera Raw
    Note the version number. Press Esc to close the pop-up.
    If that’s OK, you should note that NFE files can be compromised by using older versions of Nikon Transfer or Nikon software, that did not ship with the camera. If that’s the case, try shooting a few new NEFs and bring them straight into Elements without passing through any other programs.

  • Photoshop Elements 10 and RAW files (CR2)

    Hello, Elements 10 is unable to recognise RAW files from my Powershot G15 but is fine with EOS 600D. Camera RAW has been updated but no difference.
    Any help/advice?
    Regards

    Hi Paul
    Its not a good idea to use 16 bit images as there is limited functionality in Elements. The files are also very large. The Adobe raw format (DNG) will give you a more efficient file size as it does not contain a jpeg preview like a CR2.
    Why not give it a try by downloading and installing the free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format. The latest version 8.2 is fully backward compatible and the files will open in camera raw and 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:

  • Canon 500D/Rebel T1i and Raw files

    Does anyone know when and if Apple will support raw files from the new Canon 500D/Rebel T1i?

    There is a discussion related to this on the Adobe forums:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/422600?tstart=0
    It sounds as though they didn't get the RAW specs for the 500D in advance of the launch as they sometimes do so I'd assume the same is true for Apple. Given this, we could be waiting a few weeks or months..

    Thanks,

    Have you checked your "Import" settings for "Raw&Jpeg" pairs in the "Import" panel?
    You can set Aperture to import raw, jpeg, or raw&jpeg.
    If you imported Raw&Jpeg, but have set Aperture to use the Jpeg as original, you will see the imported image as Jpeg image, not as a raw image, even if the raw has also been imported. You can switch between Raw and Jpeg originals for selected images from the Photos menu:
    Photos > Use Raw as original.

  • Why won't elements 12 download raw files from Nikon D810?

    Why won't elements 12 download raw files from Nikon D810?  I got a message saying that the camera model is not supported by installed version of camera raw.  How do I fix it?

    Photoshop Elements questions should be posted in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. Somehow your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
    You can re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and move it from here to there.
    My opinion on this....from the Photoshop Elements perspective...
    Nikon D810 is supported by Camera Raw 8.6 and higher (latest version of Camera Raw is 8.7)
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    At the same time, the Camera Raw version needs to be supported by the Photoshop Elements version.
    Photoshop Elements 12 appears to support Camera Raw up to 8.5 which does not support the Nikon D810.
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    Solution...
    a. switch to Photoshop Elements 13 (comes with Camera Raw 8.6 and can be updated to 8.7).
    b. use the DNG Converter in Photoshop Elements 12

  • When showing JPG and RAW files as one, which do we see and which is edited?

    Hi Guys,
    Hoping someone out there will have the answer to this.
    Just come back from a long trip with thousands of pics in RAW, I like to use Canon DPP to generate the JPGs quickly and to give me Canons interpretation on the RAW image. (Apparently same processing as in camera).
    Once imported into Lightroom 3, I have set up to view the JPG and RAW files as one.
    There are two questions:
    1.) Which of the two is the visible one in Library mode? can one set the preference?
    2.) Which is edited?
    I do not really want to fully develop all the pics in Lightroom as some of the standard shots have come out perfectly and at the same time I feel I need to be able to compare them.
    Any help offered would be greatly appreciated.

    1.) Which of the two is the visible one in Library mode? can one set the preference?
    Raw only. The jpeg is sort of like sidecar. Cannot set a preference. The only setting you can change is to view them separately.
    2.) Which is edited?
    Raw only.
    ... and at the same time I feel I need to be able to compare them.
    Lightroom's Canon-specific DNG profiles are developed to match Canon's picture styles (or whatever they are called). So, if you use, say, the Faithful Picture style in Camera, Lightroom's "Camera Faithful" profile will render your raws very close to DPP, if not identical. That's for default settings. However when you start adjusting, Lightroom's and DPP's processing may differ.
    You may not even need those Jpegs for comparison, after all.

  • JPG and RAW files are not grouped together.

    I am finding that my RAW and JPG files are not grouped together.  They show up on the Grid View as JPG for the JPG file and RAW + JPG for the NEF(RAW) file.  This does not seem to be consistent through out the folder.  Some of the pictures are grouped together and others are not.  The ones that are not grouped together have been auto-stacked and then unstacked.  I am not sure if this is what caused the seperation of JPG and RAW files.  I did try to take a picture that I had auto-stacked it  and then remove it and it did not sepearate.  The "Treat JPG files next to raw files as seperate photos" option is turned off, like it is in my Lightroom 3.

    This is what I'm talking about:
    Show subfolders are on:
    In windows Explorer:
    In the Import Dialog:
    Where are the files?
    If I click on the Folder 2014_12_14... all the files from all folders will populate.
