I have new computer Windows 11, New Nikon Z 500 2, and used RAW and jpeg on camera but Organizer only shows Jpeg. So, I would like to get RAW onto my 2025 PSE for Organizer and Editing. I am sure this is a frequesnt question, but do not normally require RAW, but I will this weeknd. Thanks.

Your camera is relatively new and requires ACR 17.1. However, Elements 2025 has only ACR 17.0 installed. You need to install the latest version of Camera Raw using the instructions that I am sure Glenn will provide.

Just install Adobe Camera Raw. Restart the computer after you do.

When you first go to use ACR in the editor, you will be prompted to dwonload and install ACR, do it.

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: (This is where users goof up, make sure you go to the location inidicated)

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.
