DNG files from Project Indigo won't open in PSE2025 Editor from Camera RAW Addin

[lmlevesque]

I recently used Project Indigo for my photos of my vacation.  I can open the DNG iles in the Camera RAW add-in, but once I adjust them, I can't send them to the PSE2025 editor using Open or Open as Copy.  I also can't save them in any other format than DNG.  When I finish editing and select Open (or Open as Copy), the PSE Editor says that Camera RAW isn't installed.  Which it is.  Both PSE2025 and CR are at the most current versions.  Also I am using a Macbook Pro with an Apple M4 Max chip running Sequoia 15.6.1.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  

I know that PI also gives me a .jpg, but I would rather use the DNG version of the file, if possible.

Did you by chance use HDR on those dngs?

I'm not sure what you mean. I am using Project Indigo with it's default settings.   When I bring it into CR Add-in, I use the auto adjust button then move sliders to improve various setting to my liking. I have changed the setting from 16 bit to 8 bit color since I know PSE doesn't like 16 bit. IDK if my question should be in a camera raw forum, but I don't see one for the elements add in and know I'll just get confusing answers from adobe cc users.
