Elements 15 Fuji X E3 camera

johnl12051826  wrote Just bought the newly released Fuji X E3 camera and having difficulties loading RAF (14 bit) (Raw) files into Photoshop Elements 15. Don't want to go down the Adobe DNG Converter route!!!

Then you have to pay for the update to Elements 2018 AND use the menu Help >> Update to update to the ACR version 10.0.

Please note I'm new to photography so no expert. Advice appreciated. Thank you. JVL

Then the first thing to learn about raw formats is that they are totally new and unique for each camera MODEL, and that it does take time for the editors of converters (not only Adobe) to analyze the format and create a converter version. Furthermore, the converters are not compatible with older Elements or other softwares versions.

FAQ: Will Photoshop Elements work with my camera, or Why won't my raw files open?

Some camera manufacturers are smarter and use natively the DNG universal raw format.
