PSE 2023 - Camera Raw 15.x

Hi there,

does PSE 2023 support Camera Raw plugin 15.x?

Can't see it listed on the Camera Raw compatible applications link:

https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html

Asking because I have a problem installing 15.1 on PSE 2023

Thank you

Hi @Michele27814487ffb0 

You are right that PSE2023 still only supports ACR14.4.

What you have tried to download is ONLY for the full Photoshop. That can't work with PSE which is always updated automatically and much later, generally only in the next PSE yearly version.

 However there is a workaround to install the PSE ACR limited version, see:

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/camera-raw-update-not-available.html

 

Note for other users, if you don't have a recent camera model not supported by ACR14.4, no need to upgrade, there is nothing new for Elements.

    Hi MichelBParis,

    I’m glad your suggested approach works for some people, but unfortunately it does not work for me. I have described the situation here → https://twitter.com/quiet_listening/status/1616518355191750662. As you may discover, I got version 14.5, since 14.4 is no longer available (from https://adobe.ly/3XMAyPI). But the folder structure referred to in step 9 of http://bit.ly/3wlYmOV has for some reason not been created on my Mac. There is a /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CC/File Formats structure, but for some reason there is no /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/Elements<Version Number>/File Formats folder structure. Should I try to create it myself (i.e. with permissions inherited from its' parent level folder)? And what should the EXACT name be, please? Some places I've found folders called "21.0" (but the name does not contain any other alphanumeric characters), it that it?

    Andrejj_T,

     

    Photoshop elements 2023 doesn't ship with an ACR plugin, so in the photoshop elements editor have you gone to Help>Install Camera Raw?

    That will create the necessary folders for you to be able to follow the Camera Raw install instructions on this page if you need a newer version than the 14.4 that Help>Install Camera Raw gives you.
