PS Elenentwill not open a .dng file

[tsmith5664]

Im just starteing with Photoshop Elements and photo ediding... when I edit a photo and save the edited photo as a .dng file my I cannot open the .dng file in PS. What am I doing wrong?

Was the file you edited already a .dng file?  Or did you change the original file name from - say, xyz.jpg - to xyz.dng when saving?  I may be wrong but if that's what you're doing I don't think it can work that way.

No... these are fresph off my Nikon D3100 in NEF .. I transfered them/moved them  to my PC... I I onened them  did some editing  .. saved them (only save opten is a ,dng)  and closed them... Tried to reopen them and they wont open... no error messages or anything just wont display

I'm not qualified to help you with this.  Not my strong suit, hopefully someone jumps in here momentarily to help you out with it.  But I'm curious, what happens if you change the file extension from .dng to .nef?

What version of photoshop elements and version of windows are you using?

If in the photoshop elements editor you go to Help>About Plug-In>Camera Raw, what version does it say?
