Hello, quick couple of questions for anyone who may know:

Firstly, does elements allow you to edit your RAW files through ACR if you download it? If so, does ACR in elements have all the same capabilities as in photoshop?
ie: fill light/recovery/clarity/luminance etc?

Thanks for any help :)
 
Yes it does allow RAW editing with Elements (6,7 and 8 I think) - it doesn't allow the full set of editable parameters that using it with long trousers Photoshop will give you.

Thanks for your quick reply :)

Do you have any idea where I might find a list of features it does allow for the elements version?
 
This gives an overview of what you can do. I don't think there is any difference using Elements 7 (I use it myself ).

I'm finding this confusing as I have cs3. Someone I know is after the 'fill light' and 'clarity' filters that ACR has, but they don't need the full version of photoshop. Could you tell me if those two options are available on ACR for elements?

Sorry if I'm being a pain is the backside! :D
 
Just had a quick shuftie in elements and cs4 - it seems that in CS4 you have tools for Basic Amendments, Tone Curves, Details, HSL/Greyscale, Split Toneing, Lens Correction, Camera Calibration, Presets and Snapshots. in Elements, only Basic, Detail and Camera Calibration show.
