Photoshop elements 2021 and camera raw 13.1 or higher

Question

Hi Adobe, I have a Nikon Z6 II and want to use my Adobe Photoshop Elements 2021 (last Update already done) with Nikon Raw files (NEF-Format). Camre Raw AddIn does not support the NIKON Z6 II NEF file

because this is only possible with the Version 13.1 or higher. On my laptop is currently installed 13.0.0.612.

Do you have any idea how this can be solved?

Meanwhile Camera Raw is available in Version 13.4 for Photoshop but not for Photoshop Elements.

Thanks for feedback

Michael

ACR 13.4 is available for download for photoshop elements- It does require a little copy and pasting of one file after it's downloaded and installed.

The only file you need to be concernd with is Camera Raw.8bi.

Install ACR 13.4, copy the .8bi file and paste it here:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 19\File Formats

Camera Raw plug-in installer (adobe.com)

It is a stripped down version of ACR found in Photoshop- but it should work fine for your camera.

@EdMatPhoto, since you already have Camera Raw 14.0.1 installed, simply copy the Camera Raw.8bi file from

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

to

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 20\File Formats

For safety sake, rename the current Elements 20 Camera Raw plug-in file with a ~ prefix (~Camera Raw.8bi).

Added: If you have not used Elements before, be aware that the program's Camera Raw features are very limited compared with Lr or Photoshop CC. So, even though the latest ACR file will install into Elements, it will be very different than the one you see in its big brothers.
