Title: Image from CR to PS
Post by: marvpelkey on June 22, 2026, 06:01:09 pm

I edit raw (Nikon) files in CR, then click the Open button (I think that's what it is - bottom right corner) to open them in PS for further processing.

I have noticed that, when doing so, the file name shows .NEF, suggesting, to me at least, that it is still a raw file. It is only when I then later do a "Save As" that .TIFF appears as the suggested format. Does this mean that the pre-"Save As" edits are done on a raw file in PS?

No, it isn't raw after rendering and opening in Photoshop. It isn't saved yet, so it isn't a TIFF or whatever else it could be until you save it. The edits are done yes, but if you close the file, and don't save, it's gone.

Thanks for the clarification.
