Yes, thanks.  I am a little surprised I didn't receive an email notification about it, or that PSE didn't automatically tell me there was an update available.  Is there a setting for making that happen?

I don't believe Adobe sends e-mail notifications about ACR updates.

You could try this.  Go to Help>Updates>Preferences . . . and make sure this option is turned on -- "Notify me of new updates on the menu bar".

Thanks Sepiana, I'll do that.

Thanks Sepiana, I just installed the update. Would you happen to know if the functionality of ACR 9.0 is standard across Photoshop Elements, CS6 and CC?

The Elements ACR version have less features than the Photoshop version, but they are identical.
You get the 'basic' panel (not basic at all, I'd call it the 'fundamental' panel and the detail panel (sharpening and denoising).
The missing panels cover less necessary features which are supposed to be dealt with in the editor itself after the conversion.

Thanks so much for enlightening me as I was very curious whether it was the same across the various platforms. Would you (or anyone else) know what the differences are between the new version of ACR and the previous version in PSE 13?

I downloaded ACR 9 a little while ago to my download folder but I can't open it. The question now become's ,is ACR 9 intended to be used only with PSE 13?

Dick,

There should be no need to download the ACR 9.0 update for Elements 13. It is all done automatically via the Adobe Application Manager.  Just go to Help>Updates.

And, yes, ACR 9.0 is compatible with Elements 13 only; you cannot install it in earlier versions. I should say though -- you can install it but it won't work. When you open the RAW Converter you will get an error message.

[dicklaxt]

Thanks Sepiana,,,I should have said compatible with only Elements. I was going to try and use it as a stand alone converter that I couls use with any RAW image file. It seems that won't work.

I think perhaps Dick's question was whether ACR could be used as a standalone program. To my knowledge, it can't.

Dick,

What did you exactly download? It looks like we are talking about two different things.

ACR -- a plug-in, which is accessed via the Raw Converter in Elements.

DNG Converter -- standalone.

If you want the DNG Converter, here is the link to the current version. Just save the .exe file to your computer and run it to install the Converter.

And here are some instructions how to use the DNG Converter.

 Sepiana, that's exactly what I downloaded but can't or it won't let me open for use and yes Major I was talking about stand alone use.

Let me read the instructions in the other link and see whats what.
