The
simplest way to update the camera raw plug-in is to always use the Editor menu
in Expert mode:
Help
>> Updates
Sometimes
the update fails or there is a delay between Adobe updating Photoshop CC and
updating Elements, for the newest camera models.
It is
possible to update the camera raw plug-in manually in Photoshop Elements 2018
using the links below; for either Windows or Macintosh.
Windows Location
C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 16\File Formats
Close the
Elements Program
Go to the
above location on Windows 64 bit, and delete Camera Raw.8bi from the File
Formats Folder.
Don’t
empty the recycle bin until you test the new plugin.
Download
the zip file from my Dropbox link below. Open the download and (unzip) Extract
Files.
You will
probably get prompted for your dropbox password or asked to create an
account but you can simply click “no thanks continue to view”
Then
click the blue download button and wait for the download to complete. On some
systems the download starts immediately with a progress indicator.
Drag or
copy the downloaded file Camera Raw.8bi into the empty File Formats Folder.
You may
get requested to agree a change to System Files.
Close the
File Explorer and Launch Elements Editor.
Test by
opening one of your raw files from your new camera.
Download Camera Raw Plug-in for Windows. After
clicking the link wait for the download button to appear below the words
"zip files can't be previewed" and then start the download.
Thank you!! Purchased Sony A7III in April and was disappointed that PSE 2018 would not recognize the camera's RAW files. Works great. Thank you.
