    Here is what happened this morning when I opened a DNG file with Photoshop 26.6.0 and Camera Raw 17.3. After making edits in Camera Raw and hitting Open, only a black screen appears. Saving as a PSD file and reopening shows the same black image. What's worse, very bad: the DNG file is modified with no chance, as far as I can see, to restore it to the original. This would be a disaster if I didn't have a backup.

    I just recently bought Elements 2025 to match my new camera Nikon Z5 II. Nikon Z5 II is supported in Camera Raw 17.3 and Camera Raw is supporting Photoshop Elements så i figured everything would work. However, when installning Elements 2025 och found that it comes with Camera Raw 17.0 and that version does not support my camera Nikon Z5 II. I have not been able to update to Camera Raw 17.3 from inside Photoshop 2025. I have tried to download and install Camera Raw 17.3 as a separate plug in but it does not pop up inside Photoshop Elements.

     

    How can I update to Camera Raw 17.3 to work inside Elements 2025?

    And the another issue that there is no posibility to revert download v17.3 even if you rollback your Photoshop version.

      Previously when denoising the photo, it was creating DNG file that you can modify however you want. At the moment there is no DNG file being created and only .acr is being written as a seperate file. Default denoise is set to %50, thats terrible. When you are working with more than 10 photos in the same time on Camerar raw, when you select all of them and denoise it, its always set up %50 denoise. Then basically you have to select each of them to decrease %30 or whatever you want.
      On previous version (17.0) there was an option to set your denoise rate before creating DNG files.
      As a sport photographer, I love to use ACR only when it comes to quickly edit my photos and publish. Now I have to wait a lot when working with more than 10 photos. Please bring back DNG file creation. DNG files always faster to edit once created.
