You cannot update Camera Raw in CS6 past version 9.1.1.

The real question now is which camera make and model are you trying to import Raw images from?

If your camera is new and requires a version of Camera Raw later than 9.1.1 then you'll either have to join the Cloud and get Photoshop CC or stick with CS6 and use the free Adobe DNG converter.

Hi John,

I have tried soo many things such as:

a) installing ACR 9.12.1 since it is the "Minimum Camera Raw plug-in version required" for my new camera Nikon D850,

b) installing ACR 11.0,

c) trying to open the Camera Raw via Adobe Bridge CS6,

and in all my .NEF file from my Nikon D850 can not still open. Note that while installing any of those I ensure that all Adobe software is closed/quitted.

Also I wish to remind you that i have MacBook Pro Mid 2015, and Adobe Photoshop CS6. I DON'T WANT TO PAY MONTHLY FOR A SOFTWARE (PHOTOSHOP) I DON'T ALWAYS USE!

Please advice

OK well forget about Camera Raw because you cannot install the version you need on CS6. 9.1.1 is the last compatible version for you.

None of the other versions you mention are compatible with CS6 so don't waste your time trying to install them. It won't work. You'll never be able to open D850 Raw files in CS6.

Your remaining option is to stick with CS6 and use the free Adobe DNG converter.

Digital Negative (DNG), Adobe DNG Converter | Adobe Photoshop CC

How to use

Adobe Digital Negative Converter

In short, you use the converter to convert folders of Raw files (even if you're only converting one Raw file) to DNG format.

Then open and edit the DNG files (not the Raw files) in CS6.
