Have upgraded from CS5 to CS6. Do not have Camera Raw plugin/filter. Have tried the 'updates' under help, no good. Do I have to purchase the plugin? If so, please direct me to the appropriate place on the Adobe site. thankyou in anticipation.

    Correct answer Jeff Arola

    In photoshop cs6 camera raw opens your camera raw files into photoshop.

    Are you not able to open your camera raw files into photoshop?

    Cs6 doesn't have the option for the Camera Raw filter in the Filter menu as photoshop cc does.

    You could open your files through camera  raw as smart objects and then you can double click on the

    smart object thumbnail in the layers panel to bring up camera raw.

    There is also a panel (script) by Russell Brown for photoshop cs6 that kinda mimics having the camera filter as it is in photoshop cc

    The camera raw plugin should be in

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS6\File Formats

    and/or

    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS6\File Formats

      What operating system are you using?

      If you look under

      mac Photoshop>About Plug-In

      or

      windows Help>About>Plug-In

      there is no Camera Raw listed?

      If your talking about the Camera Raw filter under the Filter menu, then that's only in Photoshop CC

        Thankyou for your reply. I am in windows. Help>About>Plug-In  does, as you say, brings up 

        However, I have no such plugin in my system program files. Again, can I purchase the plugin and have it work as a filter within CS6.
