Elements 2020 too old for Camera Raw 16.3?

[stephenw62446070]

I am unable to open Raw photos from a new Nikon Z8 (latest version software as at May 2024) despite having uploaded Camera Raw 16.3.1.    Is Adobe Elements 2020 unable to support Camera Raw 16.3.1?

In addition to downloading/installing camera raw 16.3.1, you need to follow these instructions to get camera raw 16.3.1 to work with Photoshop Elements 2020.

For Elements 2020, make sure you copy the plug-in file (Camera raw.8bi) to the following directory:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 18\File Formats
