Question

Camera Raw will not update on Premiere Elements 26

I recently purchased a Nikon Z5IIC, and found I was unable to open the raw files with Photoshop Elements 2026 (sorry, I put the wrong program in the title and can’t fix it!).

It turns out I need Camera Raw version 18.5 or newer, but my program will only update as far as 18.2.

I attempted to download and update the program manually, but Photoshop Elements 26 still says it’s on 18.2, so the raw files will not open.

Am I doing something wrong, or will this not update to a new enough version to open these raw files?

    What operating system are you using?

     

    See the directions in this thread to update Camera Raw manually:
