Question

I can't update the Camera Raw plug-in on Photoshop Elements 2018

I recently purchased a new Nikon digital camera and wanted to shoot RAW files, to do so I need to update the Camera Raw plug-in from ver 10 to 13. I have tried reinstalling the plug-in and Photoshop, but the plug-in does not update. I have also tried manually checking for updates. I have attached a screenshot of the error message. Can anyone provide assistance?

You cannot update the plug-in to version 13.  However, there is a workaround that should work. See this article.  I suggest you rename the exisiting plug-in file in case it doesn't work for you.  That way, you can restore the old file rather than re-install the whole program.

I should add that Elements 2018 is actually version 16.  (You need this information to find the correct path to the plug-in folder.)
