SONY ARW in ELEMENTS 5

[krennon]

Hi all need some help here cos' I am being stoopid I think.....

I have shot some RAW images on my SONY A350, unfortunately I can't seem to open them to edit them in ELEMENTS 5.0 I know I'm doing something wrong I just can't seem to figure out what....I really want to try and get this sorted out as these are shots of my best mates new twin babies (boy and a girl and they are gorgeous) so I'd really like to get on with editing them....can someone point me in the right direction as I can't even seem to find the correct download on the ADOBE website....any help for a numpty like me would be much appreciated.....

Sounds as though you haven't got the latest camera raw plug-in for Elements 5.0 which supports the Sony A350. You can download it from here but read very very carefully the installation instructions. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3896

1. Exit Photoshop Elements.
2. Open My Computer.
3. Double-click Local Disk (C:).
4. Navigate to: (Please read directory carefully)

Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 5.0\Plug-Ins\File Formats

5. Move the existing Camera Raw.8bi plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw.8bi, from the download into the same folder as in step 4.
7. Launch Photoshop Elements.
