How to Reverse the "Convert to Smart Object" Preference When Opening a DNG File in Photoshop

[George1898765678]

Following some online advice I changed a preference in Photoshop so that a dng file is automatically opened as a smart object in Photoshop. That was not a smart move, as Photoshop becomes kludgy immediately. How to reverse this preference? I cannot find a dialogue that includes this option. Thanks!

Using Smart Objexts is a smart choice, how your computer performs and what your Performance Prefernces are is another issue. 

When you alt-click the Color Space/Bit Depth/pixel dimensions/… text at the bottom of the Camera Raw dialog the Workflow Options dialog should appear.

In ACR click in the botton center settings to open workflow options uncheck open as smart object.
