Some questions about PE 2021 and Camera Raw?

Hi,

I am kind of new to PE 2021 (I had tried some of the trials before, but I finally decided to buy 2021 recently) and I just installed it recently, and I had some questions:

 

  • Q1: I got a popup notification in Windows 10, saying that there was a Camera Raw update, so I started PE and then that said that there was an update, so I let that update installation go.  However, after the installation, I checked the Camera Raw version (using Help=>About Plugins=>Adobe Camera Raw) and that looks like it is still showing the same version, 13.0.0.612.  Is there a separate process to update the Camera Raw?
  • Q2: While I am in Camera Raw editing, are there presets there, similar to presets in Lightroom?  Also can I create my own Camera Raw presets?

 

Thanks,

Jim

Q1:

There is no update for Camera Raw in PSE2021.

The confusion may come from the fact that PSE2021 installs the free Creative Cloud desktop application to be used with the new  'Save to the Cloud' option in PSE. That app warns you of the new updates for the Creative Cloud. I have subscriptions in the Creative Cloud, so I got the news an update for ACR in the full Photoshop.

Q2:

I'd like to get some info from Adobe, but I have seen that there is somewhere an option in the ACR version of PSE2021 to use presets created for Photoshop. In the 'profiles' menu (the 3 dots icon for more presets options), there is an option: "Import profiles and presets". I have not found how to use it.

MichelBParis,

 

Re. Q1: Thanks for the clarification.

Re. Q2: My PSE 2021/ACR looks different (when I click on the 3 dots)... I don't get the same dropdown choices as you do:

 

Thanks,

Jim

Unfortunately, Greg has tested it for the new 13.1 version and mentioned elsewhere that the workaround no longer works. Wait for his comment before wasting your time. By the way, similar workarounds in the past have led to serious difficulties when trying to upgrade later with the normal update process.


Hi,

Thanks but too late... I already tried and PSE wouldn't start.  I removed the 2nd plugin file (I had renamed it when I copied it into the dir), but I had to actually bounce my machine to get it to work again.

 

Understood about possibly messing up upgrades.  That is a concern I had, but now I am just curious, more than anything else.

 

It still WOULD be nice if there was presets though.  I used them a lot in LR and miss them.
