Export raw images as tiff with Camera Raw/Photoshop Elements 2021

Hello everyone,
 
I downloaded the test version of Photoshop Elements 2021 to use my camera's .dng profile on a bunch of raw images (.raf). Camera Raw 13.0 comes pre-installed with that version and I managed to open the images with it and chose the .dng file (didn't notice any differences but the histogram changed a bit).
 
The save options only list ".dng" and ".DNG", the other file extensions (like jpg, tiff,... - as shown in this video) are missing. How do I now export the images as .tiff files, using my camera's profile?

Correct answer TheDigitalDog

If you apply edits with your profiles, that all gets embedded inside the DNG container. 

When you render images (Open in ACR into Photoshop or Elements) then save as TIFF, that raw gets rendered into a TIFF (or JPEG or whatever) using the profile.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean.

I click on "File - Open in Camera Raw" and choose the images or just drag them into Elements, which opens Camera Raw automatically. On the right of Camera Raw I pick the profile I want to use (already imported my camera's .dcp file), then I can either press "Cancel" or "Done" in the bottom right or that "save" icon in the top right (which opens the new pop-up that only lists ".dng" and ".DNG"). If I click "Done", Camera Raw is closed and there's an empty Elements background with almost all options in the drop-down menus greyed out.

In the video I linked "File - Scripts - Image Processor" is chosen but that doesn't exist in the new version.

If I save the images as .dng files, then open them again in Elements, Camera Raw is opened again and it still won't let me pick a different file extension.

Btw, I upgraded Camera Raw to version 13.3 after writing the first post but it still looks the same.

When you click done, the images edits are saved as metadata but the rendering hasn't been applied yet. Open renders the image and opens it.
