I downloaded and unpacked  the raw update 10.5 but it doesn't install in my adobe elements 15 program. I searched dozens of pages in the adobe help centre but am still helpless. It says u should go to help and then update in elements 15. But onder the help button there is no update to choose. Also when I close or restart the program of computer nothing happens. How difficult can it be? Anyway: I can't open raw files from my new Olympus OMDE EM1 11

    Camera Raw plug-in and Adobe application compatibility

    Elements 15 is not compatible with Camera Raw later than version 9.10 (nine point ten). You cannot update it to 10.5

    I can't open raw files from my new Olympus OMDE EM1 11

    Please clarify which model you've got.

    Cameras supported by Camera Raw

    The OM-D E-M10 Mark III requires Camera Raw 10.0 or later. You'll never be able to open Raw files from that camera in Elements 15.

    If that's your camera, either

    1. upgrade to Elements 2018 (might pay to wait a couple of weeks since Elements 2019 is imminent), or
    2. Use the free Adobe DNG converter. Convert all Raw files to DNG format with the converter. Then open the converted DNG files (not the Raw files) in Elements 15.
