Photoshop CC 2014 and ACR Version

[Brad Smith]

I have Photoshop CC 2014, Photoshop CC/LR, and perpetual Photoshop CS6 and 5.5 on Win7 64-bit. Photoshop CC 2014 and CC are running ACR 8.3, whereas Photoshop CS6 is running ACR 8.5. When I open an image from LR in Photoshop CC 2014, I get a message that I should update ACR to 8.5 via Photoshop update tool. However, when I check for updates in Photoshop CC 2014, Adobe says my updates are up to date. So, how do I update ACR to 8.5 in PS CC 2014?

1) use direct download = swupdl.adobe.com/updates/oobe/aam20/win/PhotoshopCameraRaw8-8.0/8.5.50/setup.zip

2) if that does not work - extract x32 and x64 versions of ACR binaries from it ( from the following achives = \payloads\AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-x64-050614143245\Assets1_1.zip, \payloads\AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-050614141453\Assets1_1.zip) and directly replace (w/ renaming) relevant .8bi files on your machine

3) and just in case to make sure that everything is in order follow up w/ DNG converter v8.5 installation to update camera profiles = http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5794

Thank you for your reply.

1. When I try to run the associated AdobePatchInstaller.exe, I get a message "Update Failed"; "This patch is not applicable for you. . ."

2. When I look, for example, in the downloaded folder AdobeCameraRaw8.0All-x64-050614143245 > Assets1.zip, I only see one file "1002" with no extension. Is this the binary? If so, I'm not sure what I am supposed to do with it. It is not an executable and Win7 wants to know what I want to open it with. When I search for 1002 in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014, I see no such file, so I do not understand your replacement comment. Pardon me for perhaps being thick, but I do not understand.

3. I did not yet try your step 3.

yes, backup your existing .8bi file ("Camera Raw.8bi"), rename the file extracted from downloaded distrubution ("1002" -> "Camera Raw.8bi") and replace old .8bi with that

that just to make sure that you have the new camera profiles installed, it does not install ACR itself

Thank you, Vladimir.
It worked like a charm!
