You bought Photoshop Elements 2026 or 2027?

In the Photoshop Elements Editor you went to Help>Install Camera Raw?

The Panasonic LUMIX DC-L10 needs Camera Raw 18.3 or newer, however, the newest Camera raw plugin for PSE 2026 is 18.2.2, but for the just released PSE 2027 it’s Camera Raw 18.4, which should support the Panasonic LUMIX DC-L10.

There is a way to install a newer Camera Raw pluging in PSE 2026 if that’s the version you bought.

Walter_H,

The 18.6 ACR 18.6 plugin works here in PSE 2027 on Windows 11 x64, however, after installing the Camera Raw 18.6 plugin i would suggest instead of just copying over the Camera Raw 8bi plugin, i would copy/replace over all the files in the

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

to the

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 27\File Formats folder

@Jeff Arola

Thank you, it works when I copy the entire File Formats folder rather than only the Camera Raw 8bi file.

You should reply that suggestion to @DigitalKen9710385 who needed to update his ACR so he could edit his RW2 raw images from his new camera. He had recently purchased PSE 26 and a new camera and last mentioned that he would try to return the PSE to the seller because he could not update his ACR using the procedure written by Glenn.

I have also now purchased Elements 2027 direct from Adobe, this was after trialing the Elements 2027 direct from Adobe and that is able to edit my RW2 files from my Panasonic Lumix DC- L10.

What operating system are you using?

Maybe the place from which you bought PSE 2026 from will exchange it for PSE 2027.

Hi Jeff

I am using the latest version of windows 11. Tomorrow if I get time I will go back to the shop A (nation wide shopping company) I bought the Elements 2026 and see if we can come to some sort of arrangement re Elements 2027.

Kindest regards

Hi Jeff

Thanks for your help. I have downloaded version 18.6 . But I’ve tried to install it in Elements 2026 but I can’t get it to work. I’m not very computer minded really, but I thank you for your help.

I may go back to the shop that sold me the Elements 2026 link knowing what camera I needed the software for.

Many thanks again

Ken

Hi Jeff. Thanks for your reply. Yes it is the 2026 version of Elements that I bought as the new L10 is listed at the bottom of the deignated cameras. I would be very much interested to see if there is a way that to install a newer version of Camera Raw that will work in Adobe Elements 2026 .

Kindest regards
