Very disappointed with Canon T4i (650D) - over-exposed/washed out pictures

I went to what I think was your first message in this thread with samples attached. 12 messages from the top.

I right clicked on a picture and then clicked on copy

I opened Elements, and then opened Edit. (my other choice being Organizer)

At the top of the Edit screen there's a File heading.

Under File (hidden) is a command New from clipboard.

I clicked on that, and your photo opens in Photoshop Elements as a jpg

That JPG then reacts to all the other controls and settings in Elements.

Then I went back and right clicked on more of your samples, and then used New from Clipboard to see them in Elements.

I cannot for the life of me think why anyone would try to open your jpeg images as RAW files. Maybe I wiill be enlightened.
