Question

Help needed on opening RAW photos from Nikon D5600 in Photoshop Elements 12???

I recently purchased a NIKON D5600 DSLR after my D5100 model suffered an accident.  I tried to edit RAW photos taken with the new camera using Photoshop Elements 12's RAW editor.   However I got a message saying Photoshop Elements 12's RAW editor could not open files from this model.  But when I scrolled down the lists of Nikon models that Photoshop Elements does support, I learned that the D5600 is supported.   Perhaps I need an updated version of the Photoshop Elements 12 RAW editor.  If there is one, where can I find it and download it?

I'd appreciate any advice I can get from more experienced forum users.  I'm pretty much a newbie. !

    Your D5600 is supported by the current PSE15 Elements version; it requires the camera raw ACR version 9.8.

    Cameras supported by Camera Raw

    Even with PSE15 you would have to upgrade the ACR version (menu Help > Upgrade).

    Read this:

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

    So, with PSE12, your only free option would be to download the free Adobe DNGconverter program mentioned in that faq.

    That independent software (not a plugin) can batch convert a whole folder of your NEF files to the DNG raw format that your PSE12 can read and edit. An additional (batch) process, but free.

    Hello Mr. Paris.   Thank you for your prompt reply.  I have another question, however. If I were to upgrade my Photoshop Elements 12 to Photoshop Elements 15, would the ACR 9.8 be a free add-on? 

    Thanks again,

    Yes, no problem.

    PSE15 can be updated free to ACR 9.10 from the menu Help >> Updates.
