Perosnally I don't aim too high with PSE. I'd be happy if the next release (2024, whenever that is but the sooner rather than later) would recognise images from my Fujifilm XT-5 without havning to go through the tiresome and cumbersome and slightly quality reducing conversion process!

You don't have to go thru any conversion process.... You can manually install a version of ACR that will work with your images. Editing RAW images in PSE is a non destructive process anyway-- you work on a copy of the raw file- the raw file is never truly edited in ACR.

The following is a workaround to update Camera Raw within Elements. It is recommended to wait for Camera Raw updates within the product for issue fixes.

If you haven't been able to update the Camera Raw plug-in for Elements, follow these steps:

Download and install the latest Camera Raw version from https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html

Quit all Adobe applications.

On macOS, double-click the .dmg file to mount it.
On Windows double-click the downloaded .zip file to unzip it. (Windows might unzip the file for you.)

On macOS, double-click the .pkg file to start the installer.
On Windows, double-click the resulting .exe file to start the installer.

Follow the on-screen instructions.

Once installed successfully, close the installer window.

Navigate to the following folder:

On macOS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CC/File Formats
On Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats

Copy the Camera Raw plug-in from the CC > File Formats folder that is mentioned in the above step.

Navigate to the following folder:

On macOS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/Elements<Version Number>/File Formats
On Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements<Version Number>\File Formats

Replace the existing Camera Raw plugin in Elements<Version Number> folder with the plug-in that you copied in step 8.

Thanks Glen,

Being a Luddite at heart, and somewhat technologically challenged, I may wait till the 2024 version surfaces.

Cheers!

That is the amazon UK site.

No, you can't be living in the U.S. and purchase from the UK site.

I'm sure the description on the UK site will be the same for the US version:

Quick photo fixes. Total transformations. AI, automation, and a refreshed experience make photo editing easy. Automatically match the color and tone of any photo, or select a sky or background with one click. For unique looks, create stylized text and experiment with new backgrounds and Artistic Effect options. Share pics in fast-moving Photo Reels. Enjoy a whole new experience with an updated look, one-click Quick Actions in one place, and direct access to thousands of free Adobe Stock photos. And when you’re on the go, try creative overlays in the Elements Web companion app and one-click fixes in the Elements Mobile companion app (English-only beta) — your photos and videos auto-sync so they’re available everywhere.

Today is September 30th, and still no word on Elements 2024. Maybe a delay to add some new AI features?

That's pretty doubtful. There is a reason why PSE is still kinda cheap--- If all the things people requested got added it would have more features than Photoshop.

It's not hard to look to look at each version's features and compare for yourself.

For me for PSE 2023 the new warp tool was the "shut up and take my money moment. See how the text is arched a bit? Select the new warp tool, drag the corners down to where you want them, and done. It offers so much more control than the old warp tool- and for me that was the feature that said "buy me".

Everything (including my prediction of it being released today, Sept 30th) is all just speculation.

There are things I would like to see PSE have the ability to do, but I also realize that the program will always have limitations. People will spend sometimes hundreds of dollars adding things to the program to "get it to be just like Photoshop"- that's something I've never understood---- Users will drop a hundred dollars on a Topaz labs plug in yet they often do not fully understand the programs capabilities--- compare it to the analogy "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence."

PSE already has and uses AI- it's just called "sensi" by the Adobe folks.

I'm hoping that they include the new Adobe Firefly for Elements 2024. That might be too much to wish for since its being used for the more expensive Photoshop, but it would be a nice addition for us too.
