Why is PS automatically opening all my .cr2 RAW images as tiff? How do I stop this from happening. 

Thanks,

Vivian

Are you opening them from Bridge via Camera Raw or Lightroom?

I usually open directly from photos on my iMac and they would open as RAW files. However, just recently PS now opens any raw image and converts to tiff. I guess I need to install Bridge if that's the only way I can get it done. It's just odd that all of a sudden this started happening. 😞

Yes, that's odd that it does that. I would install Bridge.

On Windows when  I use Photoshop File open and select a CR2 RAW file ACR opens and the document open in photoshop frame document name is  ImageName.CR2

Photoshop is not a file editor it edits Document. Photoshop does not support RAW file that Support is in Adobe's ACR plug-in.  Photoshop can save Tiff file from documents it edits.  I do not use Lightroom. If you are opening your RAW file in Lightroom and then have Lightroom pass what you developed in Lightroom  to  Photoshop for processing in Photoshop. Lightroom may be passing a Tiff image to Photoshop.  If Lightroom pass a RAW file to Photoshop the RAW file would be open through ACR and ACR should use the Raw conversion settings you developed in Lightroom using the meta-data setting Lightroom added.  Lightroom and ACR use the same Adobe RAW conversion engine.
