What operating system are you using?

Which Panasonic camera do you have?

The Panasonic Lumix S5 II (LUMIX DC-S5M2) requires camera raw 15.2 or newer.

Pse 2023 installs camera raw 14.4, so you need a newer camera raw version such as the current 15.5 version

on this page. It says 15.4, but the download is actually 15.5.

You can update pse 2023 by following these directions:

did you start the editor after you manually installed ACR?

@Jeff Arola

You should modify your instructions. The Windows download is actually an EXE file. The difference may confuse some folks.

Walter_ H,

Well do.

Thanks for pointing that out.
