Photoshop Elements 2018 will not open Nikon .NRW raw files. [Nikon Coolpix P1000]

Photoshop Elements 2018 will not open Nikon .NRW raw files. What do I need to do to get them open?  I updated the program but it didn't help.

I updated both Elements and Premiere. It didn't make any difference.

>>>will not open Nikon .NRW raw files.

From which camera exactly?

Nikon Coolpix P1000

As indicated in that faq, you can download the latest Adobe DNGconverter which is free and can batch convert a whole folder of your raw files to the DNG raw format that your PSE2018 can read and edit.

Thank you. That worked.

For the record, the P1000 was first supported in Camera Raw 11.1 which is only compatible with Elements 2019 and later. Unfortunate for an Elements 2018 user.

So, with Elements 2018, your options are to either a) upgrade to the current version of Elements, or b) stay with Elements 2018 and use the free DNG converter.
