Can anyone give any advice on processing in raw. At the moment I process in Adobe Elements 5 using jpeg. Is there a program I can use in Elements or do I need to use an entirely different program.
TIA

You can process in Adobe Camera Raw which comes with PS Elements. It depends on your camera which version of Camera Raw (ACR) you require. The latest version of ACR is 5.6, for which you require PSE 8 or CS4. Older versions of PSE are limited to older versions of ACR as well.
For all versions of ACR see:
– Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows
– Macintosh: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Macintosh
Alternatively (my personal preference for Nikon RAW files: Nikon Capture NX2) you could use the software which is recommended by your camera maker. The advantage is that all camera settings will be processed correctly, which is not the case with universal RAW developers as ACR and Lightroom. With such software only settings like exposure and white balance are processed, but not any specific picture modes such as landscape, portrait and monochrome settings.

Hi Darren,
You can process RAW in Elements 5.0. Your camera or your Elements should come with software to enable the load up from the make of camera.
See following.

See following search
Or try searching for your make of camera with ‘raw’ to see problem solutions.
Hope that helps?
