Elements 2023 cannot retrieve RAW (CR3) files from my Canon R6

So, just had Elements 2023 installed on my Windows 10 PC. Just like Elements 2021, it tells me that

the RAW CR3 files are not in a format recognized by Elements. Jpeg files can be retrieved without any problem. Adobe support centre has looked at this a couple of times, and have yet to find a solution. Any ideas out there?

That would explain your trouble since the EOS R6 Mark II needs at least camera raw 15, which you can get and install by following the directions on this page:

Restarting your computer should stop any on going programs.

Hello,

I have Elements 19.0.0.0 and I installed both of the raw installers (14.5 & 16.2) and neither works. I still can't see an image on my CR3 files from my Canon Mark II. Both installations ran flawlessly. What am i missing?

Great directions. The replacement folder even has the right date on it (when I downloaded it). Sadly, it failed. PSE still did not recognize the CR3 format. The camera raw.8bi has a 8/2/22 date on it. I did run both the 14.5 and 16.2 patches, if that makes a difference.

I reran the 16.2 patch and repeated your steps. The date of the 8bi file changed and PSE now recognizes the CR3. thanks!

But why did I need the copy step? Why doesn't the patch work outright?

Do you have an EOS R6 or EOS R6 Mark II?

By default photoshop elements 2023 doesn't ship with the camera raw plugin, so in the photoshop elements 2023 editor you need to go to Help>Install Camera Raw.
