PS Elements 2018 & Raw

[gio_roch]

I bought a new Canon SX 70 but i discovered that Photoshop elements 2018 doesn't read CR3 format.

Its camera raw is stopped at 9.x release meanwhile I'd need 11.1 updated.

Have you any info about next plugins releasing?

Hi Gio_roch,

According to this website

Camera Raw plug-in and Adobe application compatibility

PSE-18 only goes up to ACR v.10 at this point in time.

However, updates to PSE's ACR typically show up later, but when is anyone's guess. Adobe does not announce those pieces of data ahead of actual release date.

However #2: there is a free bypass for this. Download the free DNG Converter

Adobe Digital Negative Converter

Take the images from your camera onto your computer, Convert them to DNG images, load these into PSE, and you'll be doing just fine.

FYI, (almost) All camera raw formats are closed systems. What Adobe did with the DNG format was to backward engineer the code for that camera and create the DNG format. There are benefits to the DNG format and you can read them here.

Yes this is an extra step but one that will give you benefits for the future (as well as let you access your images now and not have to wait for the next ACR to show up on PSE.

Let us know if this solves your immediate problem.
