How do I open multiple raw files in photoshop

I have downloaded photoshop elements onto my computer & when I import photos from my camera to my computer it goes into the photos app. How do I either switch that so they import into my documents or how do I open multiple photos into photoshop? I can upload 1 raw file from my photo to photoshop but more than one it opens up as JPEG & I like to edit in Camera Raw then convert my pictures to JPEG.
