Nikon Z8 RAW

I just bought a Nikon Z8 and the Elements 2021 I have will not read the RAW files. The plugin 15.3 did not do the trick, so I'm wondering if Elements2023 would work with the new formats of Nikon Z

Your new camera requires ACR 15.3.  Even if you purchased Elements 2023, it only updates natively to ACR 14.x.  However, there is a workaround that should work for your existing version of Elements (2021 aka version 19).  I assume that you tried to update to ACR 15.3 from the Adobe ACR installer page.  If so, the plug-in was installed in the Photoshop Creative Cloud directory: 

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

 

You must copy the Camera Raw.8bi file from that director

You must copy the Camera Raw.8bi file from that directory to the plug-in folder for Elements 2021:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 19\File Formats

 

I currently have ACR 15.2 working in Elements 2021, so there should be no reason why ACR 15.3 won't work.

 

You didn't say whether you have Windows or a Mac.   If you need instructions for Mac, check out this page.

Nothing worked, so I am not sure how I will get my version to read the new RAW files. Unless I have to upgrade to Elelements 2023.

Thanks. I never did add the plug-in to the folder and remember doing that with previous versions. Will try again
