Elements Organizer Auto Create P950 NRW Problem

PSE 2025 Organizer will not Auto Curate Nikon P950 NRW files. Both Organizer and Editor ACR (15.5.0.1595) recognize and display P950 NRW files but Organizer will not Auto Curate P950 NRW files. The list of Cameras supported by Camera Raw erroneously shows the P950 file format as NEF rather than NRW so this could be the problem for Auto Curate.

@ABWay you are the only other person (besides me) who has reported this problem.   (Although I have some NEF files, most of my recent raw files are from Sony.) I am going to report your issue to the person who has been helping me.

Just to be clear, Auto Curate works with JPEG, TIFF, HEIC, just not with P950/P1000 NRW.

Enabling Face Recognition did not enable NRW Auto Curate.

Re JA: PSE is installed in default location, not custom location.

I don't know if this applies to your situation or not:

Your camera only requires ACR 12.2.   

Do this to manually install a newer version of ACR:

Download and install the latest Camera Raw version from https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html

Quit all Adobe applications.

On macOS, double-click the .dmg file to mount it.

On Windows double-click the downloaded .zip file to unzip it.
(Windows might unzip the file for you.)

 

On macOS, double-click the .pkg file to start the installer. 

On Windows, double-click the resulting .exe file to start the installer.


Follow the on-screen instructions.

 Once installed successfully, close the installer window.

 Navigate to the following folder:

On macOS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CC/File Formats

On Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats

Copy the Camera Raw plug-in (just the .8bi file) from the CC > File Formats folder that is mentioned in the above step.

Navigate to the following folder: 

On macOS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/Elements<Version Number>/File Formats


On Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements<Version Number>\File Formats


Replace the existing Camera Raw plugin in Elements<Version Number> folder with the plug-in that you copied earlier.

Your link to Camera Raw Installer 17.5 installs a functional Adobe Camera Raw 15.5.0.1595 (8-1-2025) in both

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

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 25\File Formats

However this updated ACR did not change the inability of Elements 25 Organizer to Auto Curate NRW files from either Nikon P950 or P1000.

P.S. Same  Auto Curate problem with P1000 NRW even though the list of supported RAW correctly shows P1000 = NRW.
