I recently installed Elements 9 so that I could upload files from the G11 straight into there instead of the old Elements 5 which doesn't recognise RAW files from the newer camera. However, I don't seem to be able to access Adobe Photo Uploader for Elements 9.

All the Raw files and jpegs upload into the PC Pictures files OK, but the computer defaults to Elements 5 which only accepts the jpgs.

Anyone know why that might be? I'd like to stop using Elements 5 now but until I get this sorted out it's a bit of a faff. My computer's quite old now so I'm not sure if it's a software or hardware problem.

Cheers, Chris

Quote: a box should then open with all the programs that are on your computer

First there will be a drop down box containing Open With click on this then all the programs on your system should be visible...then do as I've said in my previous post.

Sorry for getting a bit ahead of myself.

As an idea, if you still have Elements 5 installation disk try removing the program from your system and leaving only Ver9 so the system has no choice but use it.

Had a nosy around between posts and found this: Elements 9 comes with Adobe Camera Raw 6.1 and the G11 was added to ACR 5.6 so it should work....check that you do have an up to date copy installed.

Its most likely to do with the older version still being installed and a DLL file but as you say unless anyone else can help thats viewing then Adobe may be your answer, have you checked their frequently asked questions area ( if the subject is covered ) for an answer.

Its more likely that elements 9 organiser is a big pile of crap, and you are better off using something else to dowload files etc, and just use the edit side of it.... if i could get rid of the organiser part i would, the editor is great , but trying to open or sort files in the organiser is like pulling teeth.

Have you checked to see if your PC's specification is up to the requirements of PSE9 - you did say it was quite old. Check the side of the box PSE9 came in and compare that with your PC's spec'.

It was not clear to me whether you are importing images from the camera directly into the Organiser.

I actually use Lightroom myself but recently installed Elements 9 and have just checked. I went into the organiser and used File>Get Photos and Videos>From Camera or Card Reader. I had previously connected my camera and this was in the list of options offered so I selected it and ticked the files that I wanted to upload. The uploaded files were Raw and I chose one one then selected Fix>Full Edit and the Raw file opened in Adobe Raw. The version of Adobe Raw that I have is V6.3 which you can get by updating Help>Updates. It is best to use the current version.

I also have an earlier version of Element (6) installed not to mention PS CS4, PS CS4 and Lightroon 2 & Lightroom 3. I can see no reason why you could not import your camera files in this way.
