Simple Questions about Photoshop Elements
May 25, 2014 16:26:36 #
I have been trying to find out if Photoshop Elements 12 will import raw files and let you work with them and then change them over to jpg. Or do I need a different program to work with.

Elements 12 does work with RAW files. It allows you to make your adjustments and lets you save to jpg or to any number of different formats.

Elements comes with the Adobe Camera Raw Converter, which allows you to convert and edit Raw files. Once you are done editing a Raw file in the Converter, you open it in the Editor. In the Editor you can do further editing if you want to and then save your file as JPEG, PSD, PNG, etc.

Just note the raw converter of elements doesn't have all the functions of Lightroom or PS's raw converter.

A lot of functions that work in Photoshop don't work with PSE. That is why I will ignore any post that just talks about PS even though it might apply to Elements, also.Just note the raw converter of elements doesn't have all the functions of Lightroom or PS's raw converter.

You can do the same comparison that I'd have to do. Open both programs and compare or try googling it.

I have. Versions and labeling of slider controls in PSE and LR has changed over time. That causes some confusion. But, the last time I looked there was nothing significant that was missing.
I know nothing about PS CC.
Of course I can be wrong and frequently am. The reason I asked the question was, with all due respect, is that I thought you might be wrong regarding the ACR that comes with PSE as compared to what is built into LR.

You are comparing ARC in lightroom and ARC in PSE. You don't need cc for this. BTW ARC in PS and Lightroom are the same.I have both programs not in cc.

I am comparing ACR in PSE 11 to Lightroom 5.3 (that I own and use). My point is that the ACR in PSE 11 has no **significant** functional difference from LR5.3. I think you wrote that there *is* a difference. I asked what those differences were and you suggested I go look it up my self.
I don't think we are having and argument. But, if we are it is too trivial to continue.
Best....

The answer is yes. You can also look at the adobe site and see if your particular camera model is listed. If it is then your lens correction in pse will also work better.
If your camera will take raw then your camera software will have a raw converter programme designed for your particular sensor software. This is sometimes superior to a generic one. Try it and see....
Pse is a great post processing tool. grab your own CD copy before it goes to cloud. you will be using it for years and on different computers so why pay monthly fees? If you can afford it now ....you will save money later on.
PSE takes some topaz add ons check them out they are awsome.

I believe that is an internet rumor based on what Adobe did with their products targeted to professionals.
Adobe has said it's very separate and different consumer targeted Elements products will continue to be on shelves, in boxes, available by mail order (Amazon or B&H) or downloadable for convenience.
In fact, when some pro's that write and teach about Elements wanted it to be part of the Creative Cloud they subscribe to, Adobe said it would never be there and they would have to buy Elements at retail like consumers.
(No, I can't provide links of proof.)

Good point. The OP did not say how new the camera is. If it is a brand new model, it can take a few months to get in to the Adobe ACR system.The answer is yes.
