Camera Raw isn´t compatible with PS elements 2021?

Currently I have bought the Nikon Z7II and the resolutions of the pictures are awesome, but when I want to edit my RAW pictures, Photoshop isn´t able to open my files.

My "Camera RAW" version is 13.0 but it requires more than 13.1 to edit my pictures. The issue with that is, that I downloaded the newer "Camera Raw" version, but it isn´t appearing in Photoshop Elements. Someone familiar with this issue?

What operating system are you using?

 

If you follow the directions here you should be able to install either camera raw 13.1 or 14.3

Thank you very much, it worked:)

Is there any quality loss?

Are you referring to the dng converter or camera raw plugin?

The version of ACR for Elements is built for that product line and AFAIK, updated by Elements. Sounds like you downloaded a version intended for Photoshop. 

You could try downloading the free DNG converter and converting until you have a version that natively handles that camera if it doesn't yet.
