Using Photoshop Elements if shooting in raw

I shoot in raw.  Can I use Photoshop Elements 11 for processing raw photos?  or do I need a plug-in? 

PSE11 comes with the RAW plug-in and can be updated to Camera RAW v7.4 via Help> Updates. Check for your camera at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html. Providing it is supported by ACR 7.4 or lower you'll be fine. Otherwise you'll need to use PSE12, or the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert the files to the DNG RAW format PSE11 can use, or the software that came with your camera.

    Using photoshop elements 6.0 - converting raw photos files to dng, how/where do I add metadata?

    Metadata can be added in Properties panel. select a file and hit Alt+Enter. It will open up Properties panel. You may drag drop tags on the media and do File > Write tags info to files to write tags in file metadata.

  • I have a Nikon D600 and D800 and I shoot everything in Raw. I use Photoshop Elements 9 for processing but I have been unable to convert any RAW files to open in PSE. Says unable to parse the file. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    Since pse 9 can only use up to camera raw 6.5 and the d600 needs at least 7.3 and the d800 needs at least 6.7, you can use the
    8.6 adobe dng converter to convert those files to dng copies, which then pse 9 should open.

    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 files will open 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 8.7
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.7
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

    For that Nikon model you need ACR 8.3 that means CS6 or CC.  Or you can download the DNG converter convert your Nikon RAW files to Adobe RAW files. And then process the Adobe RAW files with CS5 ACR version  6.7

    The D750 isn't yet supported. It may be a few weeks before Adobe provides an update for the latest versions of Photoshop/Elements. Maybe October/November.
    They usually provide a pre-release version a few weeks beforehand (any day now, hopefully), but AFAIK they don't usually work on Photoshop Elements.

  • When using Photoshop Elements 9 as external editor my iPhoto version does not update

    I am using Photoshop Elements 9 as an external editor in iPhoto V9.4.2
    My photo's are Raw and they open in Elements fine for me to edit. When I go to save or exit I have problems. I get options to choose from - I am assuming that saving them as JPEG now they are edited is the best choice. However it shows me a file location where it will be saved and this is not the iPhoto libary. Even so, I save them where PSE wants to and when I go back to them in iPhoto they are not shown as edited (either in preview thumbnail or full version and regardless of which folder I look at them from). I shut iPhoto down and re-open and still they are not changed. I have watched the Adobe lesson on this and it is identical right up to the point of 'saving'. I have read other question on this and followed some advice but not getting the desired result of showing up in iPhoto still.
    Thank you.

    Are you using PSE and saving the edit as described below?
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • How can I edit a Nikon D7000 .nef file using Photoshop Element 8?

    In order to read and edit a picture taken in RAW format by a Nikon D7000, using Photoshop Element 8, what should I do?  Any plug in that I should download?

    The D7000 was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw 6.3 which is compatible with Elements 9 or later
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    Either upgrade to Elements 12 or use the Adobe DNG converter to convert D7000 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in Elements 8.

  • Using photoshop elements 12 as external editor in Aperture 3.5.1

    I have been using photoshop elements 12 as external editor to resize some photos and add some refinements not available in aperture....
    It look like the file I send to PE becomes HUGE but is not marked as a separate version.....there is a little mark in lower right corner..
    Is this correct?normal?
    It is a problem, because I am also trying to use focus stacking software and it won't stack files with huge size differences...
    thanks

    oh wow!
    I started with a .orf (olympus omd em1) RAW file 13.73 MB...
    I just right clicked to edit in photoshop elements...
    so the one beside it...is 40.51.....it does not say new version but it has the "dot" on lower right.....
    so I don't understand all the intricacies of this...but I am guessing sending a file out of Aperture gets a huge file in return.....
    thanks!

  • My new Photoshop Elements 12 has a RAW file plug-in, but when I try OPEN to select a photograph, there are only generic icons instead of pictures-- I can't tell one photograph from another! How can I fix this so I can tell which photograph I want to open?

    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.

  • Is there a plug in yet to use photoshop elements 12 with nikon d750

    I want to use Photoshop Elements 12 with my Nikon D750. Is there a raw plug in yet ?

    No, and it is expected that PSE 12 will not get any further updates.
    If you don't want to upgrade to PSE 13, you can download the free Adobe DNG converter. Use that to convert your NEF files to DNG files which can then be used by PSE 12.

  • Will Photoshop Elements 13 automatically download Raw photos?

    Will Photoshop Elements 13 automatically download raw files (photos) from card reader or do I have to use
    Capture One, Adobe DNG converter ?
    I am planning to buy the Sony mirrorless Alpha A 7 II
    I read - there can be problems with down loading raw files from the Sony A7II camera to Photoshop elements.
    Someone suggested if I upgrade to Photoshop Elements 13 it will automatically download raw files just like it did with Jpegs.

    Hi,
    Could it be referred to as the Sony ILCE-A7M2 - that appears in the table and requires Camera Raw 8.7.1
    If that is the case, Photoshop Elements 13 (with updates) will import the raw files. When you plug in the card into the reader, it can be set up to launch the Elements downloader.
    You can download the trial version of Photoshop Elements from here
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10
    Once you have installed it, you need to go to the Help menu and select Updates to install the latest Camera Raw.

  • How do I get imovie to use Photoshop Elements 12 as external editor?

    How do I get imovie to use Photoshop Elements 12 as external editor? I am making a movie slide show with music from my Caribbean vacation photos and adding text captions to photos in PS Elements 12. I can also add some effects to photos like edge blur although I like iphotos effects better but iphoto doesn't seem to do text. The finished PS Elements photo doesn't seem to want to be shared by iphoto which is what imovie uses...
    I am still learning to use PS Elements 12 for Mac (had PSE 7 for WinVista but wasn't proficient) and Mac and it's programs are new to me. I switch between my old Dell which is still amped for graphics and the new Mac mini. I started to use Movie Maker to do my vacation project but read that imovie was better but so far it doesn't seem to have as broad of file useage when it comes to imovie and photo files.
    Hmmmmm??? What to do?

    You simply need to create your stills with Photoshop Elements, save them in a suitable format (.jpg, .png, .tiff are all acceptable) then drag and drop them into your iMovie timeline.  You don't have to use iPhoto.
