    This is a rather broad question. Do you want to know how to open photos in Camera Raw, or how the Camera Raw editor sliders work, or are you getting error messages?

    I'm not dj_paige, but I play him on television.

     

    To answer your question, there's no need to "find the RAW software" because it's part of PSE.  When you use File...Open and open your RAW file, it will automatically open in the Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) editor.

     

    You can use the sliders at the right of the ACR window to see what effect they have on your image.  When you're happy, use the "Open Image" button to save your changes and open the image in the main PSE editor.

     

    The important thing to remember is to use the box at the center bottom of the ACR window to change your image's colour depth to "8 bits/channel" so you can then have all the PSE editing features available.

    Except I think you left out a key point in your answer

    When you're happy, use the "Open Image" button to save your changes and open the image in the main PSE editor.

    Or you can click on "Done" if you think your image is properly edited and no further edits are needed.

    Tell it to the screenwriters.
