I assume if I could find the actual ACR app I could open a raw image (and perhaps even a tiff) in it directly, but I can't find it anywhere on the system. Am I missing something here? And I can not find any way to specify that I only want the image opened in ACR, not Elements, so I always end up with Elements open whether I want it or not. The only thing I seem to be able to do is save it and then manually open it in Elements or another pixed editor. The Utilities installation asked me where to put stuff, and I specified a location, but nothing is in the folder location. I mostly wanted access to ACR for processing files, but after installing both Elements and the extended Utilities I am left with some questions. If I right-click on a raw image amd select Open With Photoshop Elements the image opens in ACR, but when saved it does not open in Elements for any further processing. I recently bought a new Mac Mini M2 machine and installed Elements on it. The most puzzling things for me are the way raw images are handled with Elements and ACR. Is there no way in Elements to edit tiffs in ACR? When I used Photoshop (which I no longer have on my current system) I could edit both raw and non-raw images in ACR, but now I can only seem to open raw images in ACR. I checked during processing in ACR, but the folder was empty. I checked before calling ACR and after calling ACR, but the folder is still empty.
