I just upgraded from Lightroom 5.2 to 5.3 and when passing an image to Photoshop CS6 to edit it says I need to upgrade Camera Raw to version 8.3 for full functionality. But I can't find the Camera Raw 8.3 download; it doesn't seem to be on the Adobe download site. Anyone know where it is? Thanks.

We have jumped ahead more than three years now since this thread first started. Photoshop CS6 and its Camera Raw is no longer being updated. The last version of Camera Raw that is compatible with Photoshop CS6 is version 9.1.1. It is available for download from the following website:

Camera Raw installer for Adobe Photoshop CC and CS6

Unless someone specifically needs an earlier version, it would probably be best to install Camera Raw 9.1.1 if you are using Photoshop CS6.

I was able to get the update with no problems by going to Photoshop CC ->Help -> Updates.

I did this when I got the update needed message.  I was not notified, as expected, by the Adobe Application Manager.

The only problem is that the OP has Photoshop CS6. And apparently the Application Manager doesn't get updated properly on some computers. I have seen several complaints about not being able to get Camera Raw updated, and it seems to be tied to a problem with the Application Manager.

Sorry, I missed the point about CS6.  I ran into this problem, and I was told by Adobe Tech Support that I needed to uninstall CS6 and reinstall it again.  I decided to just uninstall it and go with CC.  I believe that Adobe has extened the offer for Photoshop CC and Lightroom for $9.99/month even if you never owned an Adobe product.  If I ever have to go back the CS6, I will reinstall it.

Thanks for this, but I installed this and still get the message in Lightroom. This seems to be a DNG Converter rather than Camera Raw 8.3, though the title suggests it includes it. I am simply trying to avoid that message everytime I go from LR to PS.

Hi DerekWRBC,

I have moved this discussion to Photoshop lightroom page for further assistance.
