Photoshop Elements 2024

When will Photoshop Elements 2024 be introduced? To date I have heard nothing about it.

the first link is based in china.

The second shows that Staples needs new people designing their sales pages---

@Frederick Jansohn said:  A RAF file is a RAF file isn't it, whatever camera it's sourced from?

If that were true, there would be no need to update ACR.  Each camera has it's own proprietary raw file format which depends on the sensor and processor of the particular camera.  Or you could convert the RAF files to the standard DNG format which can be read universally.

@Frederick Jansohn said:  Also PSE 2023 does not appear to recognise Cmaera RAW version 15.2, which I've tried download without success!!!

You probably haven't followed the instructions which are set out in numerous discussions on this forum.  See this discussion for example.  (I currently have ACR 15.5 working with Elements 2023.)

I saw a 2024 box in Staples today.

@ChrisJMeade was Elements 2024 actually for sale?   And was this in the US? Or was it just a marketing demo box?  Clearly, Staples is violating an embargo that Adobe places on new releases.

I Am in Canada, there was no price on the shelf and no 2023 boxes In site. I did not bother asking about is as I may just do the upgrade path to save a few bucks.


Thank you

I hate it when businesses do such things- simply to "drive traffic" into a store.  Same goes to various websites, even well known businesses do the same thing- all to simply drive traffic to a store or website.

I just purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 2024 at Best Buy.  I purchased, downloaded and installed a little while ago..

[Greg_S.]

@Beege55, have you been able to register your serial number?  Elements 2024 has still not been released officially.  I guess BestBuy figures that it is too big to worry about sales embargoes.

[Greg_S.]

@Frederick Jansohn , Elements 2023 is version 21 of Elements.  So you need to copy the Camera Raw.8bi file from the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats

to the Elements 2023 directory which is:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 21\File Formats\

Hi Greg S.

Many thanks for that advice.

Although I thought I had done what you advised clearly I hadn't. But it worked. I actually do not know precisely which version of ACR I am running because it doesn't say; and when I first tried bringing an edited file into the Expert area the screen froze as it was downloading the image. Then I realised the image I had edited was in 16 bit format and I recalled from somewhere that 8 bit is more friendly. So I changed that too and now I have PSE2023 able to import files direct from the SD card, without conversion, all of my RAF format images taken with my Fujifilm XT-5 camera. Hallelujah! Again, many thanks and cheers, Fred

Elements 2024 has now been officially released.
