JimHess-8IPblY May 22, 2009 9:04 AM (in response to athegn)Double-click on the zip file. It should open in a window. You can use the copy command, or you can just drag/drop the file into the appropriate folder.

ssprengel May 22, 2009 10:37 AM (in response to athegn)Extract everything in the ZIP to a temp folder and run the setup.exe.
It is more complicated, now, because there is a 32-bit and 64-bit versions
and there are camera profiles to put in the common location for Lightroom
and ACR to find.

3. Re: Camera Raw.8bi in ACR 5.4 download
athegn May 22, 2009 1:19 PM (in response to ssprengel)I know how to open zip files so I was looking for the "Camera Raw.8bi" file inside the zip. It is not there.
I run the setup.exe and get a dialog:-
"Photoshop Camera Raw (64 bit)
Photoshop Camera Raw 5. 4 - Photoshop Camera not installed
Photoshop Camera Raw(64 bit) 5. 4 - Photoshop Camera(64 bit) not installed"
With the only option being a "Quit" button.
I could be that this Release Candidate only works on CS4; my set up is Win Vista 32 bit with Photoshop Elements 5 and 6 installed
The full release should work with Elements 6 and the yet to be installed Elements 7, I have just purchased.
Note I downloaded "cameraraw_5-3_p1_win_012309.zip" and that does not have "Camera Raw.8bi" in it, however the downloaded "Camera_Raw_5_3.zip" does. I never used ACR 5.3, so I have only just downloaded "Camera_Raw_5_3.zip", because I rarely use Elements 6; too buggy.

ssprengel May 22, 2009 3:15 PM (in response to athegn)The errors indicate you need a product compatible with ACR 5.4 installed
before it'll install anything.
I have both PSE7 and CS4E on my machine so can't tell you whether your
installing PSE7 would be sufficient to make the installer happy, or if the
installer isn't designed for PSE7.
I knew with both CS4 and PSE7, the installer only every updated the CS4
version of ACR, not the PSE7 version, and I had to manually copy it over
from one product to the other. Perhaps it works ok if only PSE7 is on the
system.
Since this is a RC, I wouldn't hold my breath, but at least you should try
it, again, after installing PSE7.

nidoba May 25, 2009 5:05 PM (in response to athegn)I don't believe that ACR 5.4 for elements has been released yet. The latest updates on the PSE 6/7 pages only show ACR 5.3 available

Wrong!
It's one and the same Camera Raw plug-in for Elements as it is for the full version of Photoshop.
Remember it's a Release Candidate (beta) version, so don't look for it on the regular Adobe.com downloads page. It's at Adobe Labs (labs.adobe.com)

Camera Raw 5.4 RC available on Adobe Labs - Note from Adobe

ChrisN45-bdnBR1 May 26, 2009 3:25 AM (in response to athegn)File (after unzipping):
extensions\AdobeCameraRaw5.0All...\Assets\1003 is equal to Camera Raw.8bi
Proved:
C:\Downloads\2009-05-23\Camera Raw 5.4>comp 1003 "Camera Raw.8bi"
Comparing 1003 and Camera Raw.8bi...
Files compare OKSo, extract, rename and put into \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats
Sort of "manual setup"
Cheers

nidoba May 26, 2009 5:49 AM (in response to ChrisN45-bdnBR1)Very Clever.......I "suppose" that since it is not a finished product they didn't want to burden the "elements users" with any potential
problems/glitches so it is not "officially" available. (operative word being "suppose" as I really have no idea how/when/ or even why it all works (but glad it does))
Thanks for the tip
