Is Camera Raw 3.2 available for PSE 2021?

I recently purchased PSE 2021 with Camera Raw 3.0. However, I would like to utlize the new Super-Res function on the new CR 3.2 version. However, my PSE will not update to 3.2.

 

Is Camera Raw 3.2 available for PSE 2021 or is this a CC update only? Please advise. Thanks.

Unfortunately, PSE2021 is not updated to the 3.2 ACR version, and there is very little chance that it will support the Super-Res feature when it is ready. The Elements version is only a subset of all the features of the full Photoshop ACR version. Similar enhancements in older versions were not kept for the PSE limited version.

Just so others are not confused by the typos in this discussion, Elements 2021 currently uses ACR 13.0.  The Super-res feature of the full Photoshop CC is found in ACR 13.2.

    My experience with it (13.2) is that it's a bit over hyped.   It's not going to take a  poor quality image and turn it into a masterpeice. I tried it on 20 different images, and it was rather hard to see the difference- the before and after comparisons.   Please remember that Adobe tends to use the "perfect image" when discussing a feature- one in which editing it quite simplistic compared to real world editing.

    Before you ask: you can't download it, and "make it work" with PSE.
