    FAQ: Will Photoshop Elements work with my camera, or Why won't my raw files open?

    First:

    All new cameras come with a new raw format that is unknown to all converters programmed before the format was released.

    The D850 came after PSE15 was issued.

    Now use the two links to know which ACR converter version is necessary to understand and convert that format (ACR 9.12.1) and which ACR format PSE15 is compatible with (ACR 9.10)

    So, if you don't want to pay the upgrade to PSE 2018, use the FREE solution described in the above faq.

    Download and istall the free Adobe DNGconverter, a standalone program (not a plugin) which can batch convert a whole folder of your NEF files to the universal DNG raw format that your PSE15 can read and edit. An additional step, but free and with the same quality.
