Hi, new camera: Canon EOS 6D mark 2 but PSE14 won't open RAW files from it. (old camera Canon EOS 6D worked fine)

According to adobe help, this camera is supported and it has checked that my latest updates are installed. (minimum plug in is 9.12 my PSE14 shows 9.5 which I assume exceeds the minimum)

Why can I not open these RAW files?

    See that faq:

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

    You'll see that each new camera comes with its own new raw format that older converters can't read.

    No, unfortunately, ACR 9.5 is older than 9.10 (available in PSE15) and 10.0 (available in PSE 2018)

    So, you need either to pay the upgrade to PSE 2018 or you can use the free Adobe DNGconverter mentioned in that faq.

    That standalone program (not a plugin) can batch convert a whole folder of your raw files to the DNG raw format that your PSE14 can read and edit. Additional step, but same quality and free.

    thank you for that, my mistake was assuming 9.5 was later than 9.1 which seemed logical to me. 

    I already have the converter but wasn't expecting an extra step, however - as I can't afford to upgrade again - looks like the converter. but thanks again for rapid response!
