EASIEST way to install Adobe Camera RAW 14.1 (for PSE 2022) for Windows

Adobe should post the file and say:

put it here: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Elements20\File Formats

The 8bi file goes in the File Formats folder.

You're referencing the WRONG folder as the location for the Camera Raw.8bi file. The correct location is:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 20\File Formats

Hi Glenn,

We applaud you for your enthusiasm, positive attitude and eagerness to help others.

It's best practice, legally safer and gives people more confidence, if you post links to authorised Adobe articles, content and instructions on the Adobe website rather than trying to recreate them yourself and hosting licensed Adobe content and files on 3rd party file storage services such as Dropbox.

Yes, Glenn, I know you are trying to be helpful, but you are probably violating the license agreement and the forum terms of service by sharing the file on your Dropbox account.

This is the official workaround from Adobe!

You can be sure that the download is free of viruses. Plus, it includes instructions for both Windows and Mac. Follow these instructions to update the Camera Raw in Elements 2022.

Pay particular attention to steps 7 - 10. In step 9, you use 20 as the version number for your PSE 2022.
