The old advice for this suggests using the help/update option in elements 11 but selecting that does not appear to offer any action. Is there a solution? The camera raw version needs to be 7.3 or later but compatible with elements 11.

Thanks, Jeff. I foolishly thought that the download link would install the latest version. I didn't bother looking for Updates. Elements 11 has now successfully updated to ACR 7.4 on my Windows 11 installation.

I've been following this thread because I want to upgrade to Camera Raw 7.3 from 7.1 in my Elements 11 installation on Windows 10. Trying the update route in the editor was a dead end and I have tried downloading some of files mentioned but have achieved nothing except an increase in my downloaded files folder because the follow-up actions were not explicit to me. Now, I'm willing to admit that being 84 next month may have a bearing on this and you will appreciate that the-simpler-the-better appeals. Searching for an existing Camera Raw file on my computer, I found an 8bit(?) file of 21,763KB in program files(x86); Common files; Adobe; Plug Ins; Elements 11; File Formats; dated 16/5/2012, which I assume is 7.1. Would it be possible to simply replace this with the equivalent 7.3 file? I think I could manage that! If so, where could I get that file?

See if installing a more up to date Adobe Application Manager works:

I just did a fresh Windows 10 x64 install with photoshop elements 11 and from within the photoshop elements editor, Help>Updates worked.

When you click on Help>Updates from within the photoshop elements editor, nothing happens?

Jeff, that installer wouldn't work for me on Windows 11, even using compatibility mode.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled Elements 11 from the link that was available in my Adobe.com Products page. It installed ACR 7.1 in the 32-bit program directory mentioned earlier. Here is a screenshot of the directory which also contains the ACR 7.4 version which I have renamed with a tilde.

Jeff, I had to edit my earlier post. I fiddled around with some plug-ins on my computer and was able to get ACR 7.4 to work with Elements 11. I found a copy in the following folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 11\File Formats

So, Jeff, if you have a good link to ACR 7.4 please give it and we can perhaps give further instructions to @terryl34788913 .

~~Try this camera raw 7.4 installer:~~

Probably better to follow Greg's advice to get a more updated camera raw 10.5

I have edited this post because I was completely wrong about being able to update Elements 11 to ACR 10.5 which is the oldest version of ACR available on the Adobe website. I am reasonably confident that you will be able to update ACR to 7.3 but I need to do some testing to find out the best way for you to do so.

What operating system are you using?

Camera raw 7.4 is the latest officially compatible with pse 11.
