Nikon Capture NX to Photoshop Export

Recently, my wife was using Capture NX (1.3.3) to process a Nikon NEF file. After modifying various parameters, she did a “File -> Open with…” to export the file into Photoshop. This will render the file as a TIFF and automatically pass it to Photoshop. Normally this works fine, but this time, when Photoshop opened, instead of showing the , the Adobe Camera RAW window popped up. This should not have happened. Somehow, the Adobe preferences had got screwed up (from my experience, corruption of Adobe preferences can randomly occur). To resolve this issue, open Adobe Bridge CS3, go to the Bridge CS3 menu and select “Camera RAW Preferences…”. At the bottom you will see JPEG and TIFF Handling. If these boxes are ticked, then Photoshop will use Adobe Camera RAW when you select a JPEG or TIFF file. In our case, these preferences were somehow enabled, and hence when we exported from Capture NX to Photoshop, it automatically went through Adobe Camera RAW. To prevent, this, simply ensure these boxes are un-checked.

Playing around with s for this blog, I found yet another bug in Photoshop that would cause it to hang. I opened an , scaled, added a copyright text layer and did a “save for web”… hang (force quit required). Solution was to flatten before saving for web.
