What i was getting at is how did you view the D7500 nef so you could post the screenshot comparison?

 

Also Nikon offers ViewNX-i & Capture NX-D for free, which should open and edit your Nikon D7500 nefs.

Hi Jeff, thanks vor your reaction. I downloaded the 12.2.1.417   That's the newest I gess. My camera D5300 is okay with camera raw., but my D7500 is new and I cannot downlad the right version of Camera raw because PSE 13 doesnt support D7500. That why I use the DNG conerter.

Operating system is:windows 10

Hi

Since your question is about Photoshop Elements 13, I have moved this from the Photoshop forum where you posted.

In which program do you have opened the left picture.

I think this is the embedded jpeg which has applied all settings of the picture style you have set in your camera.

 

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 5 - Topaz Photo
