Why does my photo edited in Lightroom come to photoshop as a Tif?

[jordskorpa]

I made some screenshots...

But I have the latest updates  Imac and what I am talking about is NOT Lightroom Classic its the other one just called Adobe Lightroom ... 

It comes out as a Raf from my Fujifilm XT2 camera  digital  , and I import it to my desk !

But to my surprise it comes as a Tif to Photoshop ? 

Hmmmm Why ? 

Thats my question ?

Which version of Camera Raw did you use to convert your RAW file?

[jordskorpa]

I use ( version 15.2.01381) in Camera Raw

I really try to make it easy for you to understand by adding  screenshots.... in a row from 1. - 5 .. hope it helps the process .. friendly regards martha

JPGs do not support layers.  They are flattened image files. 

However, PSD and TIF can support layers.

Simple fact is that Photoshop (the App) cannot edit raw files.

Raw files must first be rendered ('demosaiced'  by Lightroom, or Adobe Camera Raw) to be visible as an RGB 'document' in Photoshop.

So when you send any type of raw file (RAF, NEF, CR3, etc) to Photoshop it will always be rendered from Lightroom as a TIF in Photoshop.   (Photoshop document formats also include- PSD, JPG, PNG, etc)
