Hi everyone,

Adobe released ACR v16. This version brings new features and enhancements as well as support for new cameras and lenses.

Adobe Camera Raw Feature Summary (October 2023 release)

Latest cameras added in October2023

Latest lenses added in October 2023

NOTE

ACR v16 works just fine in Elements 2023. There are no problems.

If you are a CC subscriber, . . .

Copy the Camera Raw.8bi file from the File Formats folder in CC to the appropriate folder in Elements 2023.

If you don't have a CC subscription, . . .

Follow the instructions in the link below.

This link was posted on the Adobe Support Community by Greg S, Community Expert. He confirmed it works.

Howard also confirmed it works. Thanks, Howard!

Hi Sepiana

I have used the workaround link to download the V16 installation file and running it but when ACR opens in PSE2023 it still launches V14.4. Am I doing something wrong?

I've tried twice now with the same result. The System Info also shows 14.4:
"Required plug-ins:
...
Camera Raw 14.4
Camera Raw Filter 14.4"

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
Howard

Howard,

I paid a visit to the Adobe Support Community. It looks like Adobe made some changes concerning that link which have affected PSE 2023. Now that link takes us to a different page with instructions that don't apply to updating ACR in PSE.

Greg S, Community Expert, posted the original link which applies to Photoshop Elements. He confirmed it works.

Please, give it a try and let us know if it works for you. Then, I will edit my OP accordingly.

Here is where I found it
Look near the top of the link for Camera Raw 16.0 installer
helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html#fifteen_x
But it put it here
i.ibb.co/kMyb71G/Screenshot-2023-10-13-at-12-32-29-PM.png
I then just copied it, then opened the Elements 21 folder, then the File format folder, where I deleted 15.5 version, pasted 16.0 version

cjt

BUT all the cool stuff does not show when opening a RAW file in PSE directly or using Open in Camera Raw.

However as cjt says, the cool stuff is absent; I assume they are not compatible with PSE. But at least I now have the latest version which is good.

Howard, glad to hear the good news.

Just to make sure. You are talking about the link provided by Greg S. Yes?

Having the "cool stuff absent" is to be expected. The ACR Converter in Elements doesn't have the same features as its Photoshop counterpart. Elements gets an ACR version without all the bells and whistles available in Photoshop.
