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 ... View more

Hello Glenn The Community Luddite here!! LOL! I actually went ahead and performed every step you outlined in your detailed instructions on how to install the latest Camera RAW plug-in (happens to be V.16, no less), again with no success. In fact my Windows 10 lacked reference to Elements 23 in the Program Files folder, instead referringto PSE 21, a version I had NEVER purchased nor installed. When I attempted to import some RAF format files PSE2023 gave the usual error message that it didn't recognise the format. That, plus the fact that I had read somewhere PSE23 would not work with (was incompatible with) the latest version of ACR, made me think that no matter how many times I downloaded the latest verison of ACR (and I have done so many times, but cannot find it on my system) made me think I first had to get past the Organiser "gatekeeper" before I might even hope to marrymy RAF files with the latest version of ACR. So, still waiting, praying and hoping PSE2024 is officially soon released. Cheers and thanks again. Fred ... View more

Thanks Beegee55, Just have to wait, pray and see!!! I'm hankering to have PSE 2024 hopefully offering instant compatibility with images downloaded from my Fujifilm XT-5  (in RAF RAW format) without having to go through the laborious conversion to DNG format process. This wasn't necessary when I had a Fujfilm XS-10 and was easily able to download RAF RAW format directly and seamlessly via PSE 2023. What's the difference? Does anyone know? A RAF file is a RAF file isn't it, whatever camera it's sourced from? Also PSE 2023 does not appear to recognise Cmaera RAW version 15.2, which I've tried download without success!!! ... View more

Thanks Glen, Being a Luddite at heart, and somewhat technologically challenged, I may wait till the 2024 version surfaces. Cheers! ... View more

Perosnally I don't aim too high with PSE. I'd be happy if the next release (2024, whenever that is but the sooner rather than later) would recognise images from my Fujifilm XT-5 without havning to go through the tiresome and cumbersome and slightly quality reducing conversion process!   ...

HI, Would you happen to know when PSE 2024 will be released and will it have support for Fujifilm XT-5 images WITHOUT the necessity to put them through the Conversion to DNG process?   ... View more
