Nikon D780 Camera Raw and Photoshop Elements 2020

[Jim Birr]

Trying to get raw plugin for Nikon D780.  My understanding is that it needs to be 12.2 or higher.  I currently have 12.0 and PE 2020.  Saw another post from a while back that had a link to this page:

https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html

Tried running the 14.5 installer but didn't show up when I restared PE.   All help pages I've looked at don't have minimum versions of of PE for given version of plugin - just Lightroom etc.

Beginning to think  PE is the red headed stepchild of Adobe.  At least it hasn't gone subscription based.

Can I upgrade raw plugin and if so how?

Since you already installed camera raw 14.5 you just need to replace the existing

photoshop elements camera raw plugin by going to

• C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats

• Copy the Camera Raw plug-in from the CC > File Formats folder

go to

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

• Replace the existing Camera Raw plugin in Elements 18 folder with the plug-in that you

copied from the CC>File Formats folder
