Camera Raw Version 8.8

Please provide me a way to download Camera Raw Version 8.8.

    Gary,

    Please don't be a fool. You are misunderstanding my minor request. I said

    nothing about free copies of Photoshop. The link you sent me is highly

    accessible for anyone that knows how to use the internet. Regardless, I

    already have an account with Adobe and am paying a monthly subscription. I

    hope you do not work for Adobe, as you are terribly misinformed. Photoshop

    2014 is available under my creative cloud along with many other versions,

    I've attached a screen shot. This is besides the point though, as I am less

    concerned with what version of photoshop I'm using and more concerned with

    having Camera Raw Version 8.8. Whatever Photoshop is required to use that

    version of camera raw I would be willing to use. If you cannot provide me a

    way to download Camera Raw Version 8.8 or a version that has identical Auto

    settings as 8.8, please let me know now so we can end the conversation.

    Although, if you do work for Adobe, this request should be an extremely

    simple matter for the company to handle. After speaking and chatting with

    several Adobe agents in India, nobody was able to resolve my request. They

    ended up referring me to the forum as a place I could get a more informed

    answer. Unfortunately, that does not seem to be the case. Through my

    creative cloud, I was able to pull up Camera Raw 8.0 (see attached), and

    online the oldest version that seems to be offered is version 9.1.1. So

    what about 8.8? It has to be accessible!


    Sorry for the misunderstanding.

    You didn't make it clear you already had a subscription to photoshop cc.

    Anyhow, here are the installers for camera raw 8.8

    mac

    http://swupdl.adobe.com/updates/oobe/aam20/mac/PhotoshopCameraRaw8-8.0/8.8.70/setup.dmg

    windows

    http://swupdl.adobe.com/updates/oobe/aam20/win/PhotoshopCameraRaw8-8.0/8.8.70/setup.zip

    ACPs do not work for adobe. We are just forum volunteers.

    Adobe employees have a Red Staff badge.

    I am interested in what is different about the Auto setting in 8.8 vs. newer camera raw versions?

    Your macOS is Catalina?

     

    If so, you'll need to do manual install as described below:

     

    The easiest way to install is as follows after double clicking on the setup.dmg

     

    1. Open the payloads folder

     

    2.  Open the AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-120315145303 folder then double click on the /Volumes/AdobeCameraRaw-8.8-CC-mul-AdobeUpdate/payloads/AdobeCameraRaw8.0All- 120315145303.zip

     

    3. Open Assests1>universal folder

     

    4. Copy the Camera Raw.plugin to

     

      Mac HD /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CC/File Formats

     

     

     

    Then you'll most likely need to be sure the Camera Raw.plugin is unquarantined by following the directions here by Dirk_Becker

     

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/plugin-error-with-mac-os-catalina/m-p/10660103?page=1

     

     

    No guarantee that even with the above done that the acr 8.8 plugin will work right on macOS catalina since apple made major changes to Catalina.

    Please help, this major problem has yet to be solved. I have raw files from 2016 edited in 2016 but without the xmp file, I cannot replicate the image in photoshop 2019 (the oldest vision adobe seems to offer). Bottom line is, I need to match the AUTO SETTING used in camera raw from 2016. I was using Photoshop 2014 and camera raw 8.8 I believe.

    What version of photoshop and operating system are you using?

    What camera do you have?

    I’ll use any version of photoshop, it doesn’t matter. I’m on a Mac and the raw files I’m working on were shot on a CanonGX1, shouldn’t matter though. Please help with finding me Camera Raw 8.8. Thank you

    Hi Anthony,

    It does make a difference. If you are using the Photoshop with CS6, if you download the latest version of ACR it will not work. If you are using a very old copy of Photoshop, than support for that version of PS is no longer available. If you are using the most recent version you could simply download the latest ACR via the Adobe Creative Cloud app and you'd be good. If you are using a pirate copy of Photoshop, there's not much help that anyone here can supply.

    So yes it does make a difference.

    So what version of PS are you using?
