Where is the download for Camera Raw 8.3?

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 Photoshop CS6 and its Camera Raw is no longer being updated.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.

    Thanks Jim. I know there are workarounds like this, and if all else fails that's what I'll have to do. its just a nuisance. I wonder deep down if this isn't some sinister plot by Adobe to try and make me upgrade to CC! I decided to stick with CS6 because I felt I could live with it for what I do these days. I have successfully upgraded PS from version 4 in the early 1990s to CS6. And I love and promote LR, but now I am wondering if it will be wise in the long term to continue with it. And I convert all my Raw files to DNG, having beeen some time ago convinced that made sense (I only shoot raw). Now I wonder about that decision too. Basicially, udating has produced an inferior product, not very long after I bought it. Adobe needs to realise that there are many alterntive programs out there and if they push people like me they will go to them, even though I really want to stay with what I know.

    Again, anyone . . . any suggestions for installing Camera Raw 8.3 in PS CS6?


    I got my CS6 updated from the help menu > updates the Adobe Apllication Manager poped up and did a search found the ACR 8.3 update which I selected and it downloaded and installed automatically.

    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.
