I have just downloaded Photoshop Elements 2023 and added Camera Raw 14.4.0.1121 to it.

Why is there no masking functinon included with it? I am using windows 10 operating system.

Correct answer Jeff Arola

Since photoshop elements itself is a consumer oriented version of photoshop, camera raw in

photoshop elements is as well, meaning it has less features than the camera raw version in photoshop.

 

Adobe uses code inside of the camera raw plugin to determine which features are presented, depending on whether you have photoshop elements or photoshop, so even if you install the camera raw plugin from a photoshop version, it still will only allow the features that photoshop elements is supposed to have as set by Adobe.

 

This a little outdated, but does give one an idea of camera raw in photoshop elements vs photoshop cc camera raw:
