Hi to all, I recently purchased a Nikon D750 w/ 28-120mm vr f/4 lens. I totally love it, moved up from DX D7100, what a difference. I use Photoshop Elements 11. I shoot raw with jpeg back up on slot 2. When I try to process in photoshop, I keep getting a message that capture raw is not recognized. I have downloaded the newest capture raw files but still keep getting the same message. If anyone can shed some light on this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

PS11 may not support your newer camera You may need to purchase a more current version of PS

Check to make sure that you have the latest updates to your program. As new cameras are released, Adobe updates the software. However, after some point they cease doing that and this requires a purchase of the latest program.

This chart will show you that the D750 was added to Adobe's camera raw system with ACR 8.7 and Lightroom 5.7.

This chart shows that Photoshop Elements 11 was shipped with ACR 7.1 and updated through that year to ACR 7.4.

There are a couple of choices. First is to buy a new copy of Photoshop Elements, now on version 15. The other is to use "Adobe's DNG Converter". It is free to download and use. It will batch convert your Nikon raw (NEF) files to Adobe's Digital Negative (DNG) files. It is a lossless process and the new DNG files will edit in all versions of Photoshop Elements.

There is nothing you can download or install that will make an older version of Photoshop Elements compatible with cameras that came out after that version's year on the market.

That's an easy one... Your version of Elements is too old to handle the RAW files from the camera. You have choices:

1. Download the free DNG Converter and convert your NEF files to DNG, which can then be processed in Elements 11. DNG is Adobe's "universal RAW" file type. But it's not perfect. Research online before converting all your NEF (or just save the originals, too).

2. Buy a newer version of Elements (about $70) that can handle the camera's RAW files.

3. Buy Lightroom 6 (~$145) and use that for organization and RAW conversions, which can then be passed off to Elements 11 for any additional work you want to do.

4. Subscribe to the Photoshop CC/Lightroom CC package ($10 a month when you prepay a year). You can LR CC the same way as LR6, passing images off to Elements... or learn to use PS CC (which is extremely complex compared to Elements).

5. Look for some other RAW conversion tool... maybe a free one came with your camera? There are other free or low cost RAW converters available.
