Question

Is camera raw still available for Photoshop Elements 2022 if I were to upgrade my camera to either SonyA7V or A7RVI

I currently have Photoshop Elements 2022 and using a Sony A7IV camera.  I have camera raw version 17.2 which works perfectly with it.  I am considering updating my camera to either the Sony A7V or the the newer A7RVI and wondering if I will still be able to update to a newer version with Camera Raw 18.3.2 installer or newer one once they update the latest A7RVI.  My current camera raw works perfectly and hate the idea learning a new system and having to go to a new more expensive program.

    Thanks Glen, that is encouraging  Well I was able download a year ago to use 17.2+ version when Sony did firmware update last year creating different raw size files.

    ACR 18.3.2 works fine in pse 2022- which is kind of surprising to me--- you do have to manually install it.

      Yes.  You can always manually install whatever version of Adobe camera raw you need.   Please be aware that the PSE is not as robust as the camera raw found in the full version of photoshop.

      Thanks, you have helped me before in what the steps are, but was not sure it would still work.  So far my needs are pretty simple what I want to get out of it so quite happy plus I have some  add on plugins like Topaz.  It is just that I like shooting in raw.

      For some reason I can’t edit my previous response.  

      NOTE:   EVERY VERSION OF PSE HAS IT’S OWN MAX LEVEL OF ADOBE CAMERA RAW THAT WILL WORK WITH IT.

      What does that mean?    Those new cameras require ACR 18.2- which may not be supported in pse 2022.  You can install it all day long but it simply may not work in an older version of pse.   

      I will download pse 2022 from my Adobe account, then manually install the latest version of acr , which is 18.3.2 then let you know how it goes.
