Hi,

I am running Photoshop Elements 2024 and the version no is ..

Adobe Photoshop Elements Version: 24.0 (20240531.Git.master.e2ec2d0) x64

How does this get updated, I know there are various updates but none seem to appear for my PC. Also, it is reporting Windows 10 whereas I am running Windows 11.

Thanks

According to this Adobe KB you have the latest update for Photoshop Elements 2024:

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/release-note/update.html

What version of Camera Raw do you have?

In the Photoshop Elements 2024 Editor go to Help>About Plugins and click on Camera Raw

Don't know why some Adobe programs/applications have trouble determining the operating system version, but Photoshop Elements is not the only Adobe software that reports the wrong version of the operating system.

i am struggling to install the raw update as it claims my operating system is too old.

thanks

you really only need to worry about updating camera raw if your cmaera requires it.

If you haven't been able to update the Camera Raw plug-in for Elements, follow these steps, Primarily because your new camera needs a newer version of ACR to support RAW files:

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 (just the .8bi file) 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 earlier.

Prior to PSE 2024 PSE used a version numbering system that made the actual version number “2 OFF” from the Product name. FOR EXAMPLE: pse 2021 was version 19: pse 2022 was version 20, and pse 2023 was version 21. THERE IS NO VERSION 22 OR 23.

Adobe Photoshop Elements Version: 24.0 (20240531.Git.master.e2ec2d0) x64 your version number: 0531 is the month and date the update was completed- and they typically become available 2 weeks after that date.
