Photoshop Elements 14 - Updating Camera Raw Plug-in

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 14 using one of the links below; for either Windows or Macintosh. 

Windows

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 14\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.

Mac OSX

Quit Elements

First you need to delete the existing plug in by going to

Macintosh HD >> Library >> Application Support >> Adobe >> Plug-Ins >> Elements 14 >> File Formats

Right-click (control click) on the camera raw file inside the File Formats folder and send to the trash (but don’t empty the trash yet)

Then click on my Dropbox download link below.

If you don’t have a drop box account simply click - No thanks, continue to view. Otherwise the download starts immediately.

Download the zip file. When the download completes go to your downloads folder and double-click on the folder to see the plug-in inside.

Copy & paste or drag the file Camera Raw.plugin into the File Formats folder.

Macintosh HD >> Library >> Application Support >> Adobe >> Plug-Ins >> Elements 14 >> File Formats

Launch Elements and test the raw files from your new camera. If everything is working OK you can empty the trash.

N.B. when trashing or copying system files you will probably get prompted to enter your usual Apple administrator computer password.

Download Camera Raw Plug-in for Mac. 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.
