Camera Raw open file issue. Nikon Z6, Photoshop 23.3.1

Hi.

I'm having an issue with Camera Raw.

When I'm done editing in raw, I click the open butten & instead of opening the file with no name changes, it behaves if I have clicked `open as a copy'. It appends `-2' to the end of the filename. 

Although this is not a big issue, I'd like to know how to stop it doing this.

I've tried clicking the down arrow next to the open button & clicking the `open' text by itself, but it still does this.

It just means I have to edit the file name when saving (I don't like to keep copies of the files).

My photoshop is version 23.3.1 & the camera is a Nikon Z6. 

Can anyone help?

I cannot replicate this on my Mac. There is no change to the original file name. Can you upload an NEF to something like Dropbox so others can test that specific capture?

It happens on every NEF file. It's as if its set to `open as a copy' regardless of what I press. 

Annoyingly, I've just tried it again & now it appears to be working correctly.

I just don't know why.

 

Regards.

Try resetting your ACR preferences, better?
Hold down the Command key and select Photoshop > Preferences > Camera Raw (MacOS) or hold down the Ctrl key and select Edit > Preferences > Camera Raw (Windows).
Click Yes in the dialog that asks "Delete the Camera Raw Preferences?"
