Photoshop Elements RAW files

I have Photoshop Elements Version 18.0 bought in 2020. Lately when I open a RAW photo I see red streaks and splotches on some objects in the photo. These streaks do not appear however in the JPG of the same photo nor do they appear when I look at the photo in my Nikon ViewNX software. Also, the red streaks do not print. Has my Elements software been corrupted somehow?

Maybe those 'streaks' are 'highlight clipping warnings'?

Have a look at the small triangle ico

Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing with the raw files.  If your program has become corrupted, you can bring it back to out-of-the-box condition by resetting the preferences file. Go to Edit>Preferences>General tab and click the Reset Preferences on next launch button.

Have a look at the small triangle icon on the top right of the color histogram. This would be to warn you that a R,G,B channel at least is clipped by overexposure.

I am sure Michel is correct in his diagnosis.  Here is a screenshot of what the overexposure clipping looks like.  You can turn it off by clicking on the triangles mentioned.  (Underexposure/shadow clipping will appear as blue streaks.)
