Adobe Elements 2019 x Camera RAW 11.2.1 timeline

Hi,





I recently bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 2019 encouraged by their information in Camera Raw plug-in and Adobe application compatibility page that this version was supporting "Latest Camera RAW version" (which became mandatory for me to work with the RAW images generated by Canon EOS RP).





What a sad surprise seeing Camera RAW 11.2.1 published April 2, 2019 and not being available at same time for other Adobe products... aren't they family?





As commented by product support, this is still being worked and there isn't a target date to have such update available for Elements 2019 users. For the record and for other users with similar need: transforming these photos with Adobe DNG Converter is a ready-now alternative.





Best, Edson

    Yes it is best to do a DNG batch conversion on a temporary basis. DNG is the Adobe raw format so there is no loss of quality. I use it all the time as it gives a more compact file compared with my CR2 files and no need for sidecar files.

    The ACR 11.2.1 update was an extra dot release to correct a specific Lightroom bug with images in NAS storage. So it may be a while before Elements gets updated with the next regular ACR release.

    I didn't have any other reason for upgrading from Elements 2018 rather than Camera Raw compatibility with Canon EOS RP - if information provided by Adobe website was accurate I could use DNG option on previous Element version (or consider moving to Lightroom) rather than upgrading for Elements 2019: unfortunately it's bringing me nothing I really need - so far, it was a loss of money and time, I'm very disappointed
