M8 and Photoshop Elements 4


Recommended Posts

Advertisement (gone after registration)

I'm sure this will have come up before, but I can't find it on Search.

Got my new M8 yesterday, but there doesn't seem to be Leica M8 RAW plug-in for Elements in the bundled software. My Elements won't recoginise the Leica RAW files.

Do I have to open the files in Capture One, convert to TIFF or JPEG and then import into Elements?

 

Is there a way of downloading a plug-in for Elements?

Update it; the newest version opens M8 without a problem. Better results, imo, are obtained by opening DNG in the C1 you got from the camera and exporting that (automatically) t o PSE. For PSE4 use 8 bits TIFF export.

The ACR update is on the Adobe website.

Exporting from C1 as a 16 bit TIFF works just fine too. Only minor downside is that you have to reduce it to 8 bits if you want to save as a JPEG with EXIF, otherwise Save for Web does it automatically but strips the EXIF off.

 

Unless PSE4 has updated today, do not download ACR later than 3.7. ACR 4.0 and 4.1 do not run in PSE4 and won't until the promised PSE 4.01 comes out.

PSE4 seems to meet all my needs. (I shoot DNG only; translate to TIFF in C1.)

 

Related question: other than the Bridge product (which may be reason enough,) what compeling reason is there to go to Photoshop CS2 or CS3?
