Question

Something new to me. CR2 to DNG with edits.

I opened a CR2 in Photoshop and removed someone from a picture also some other edits. Still keeping that photo open I then I went to file open as Smart Object and I navigated back to the same CR2 and when I opened it all the edits had been applied to the CR2 so I saved it as a DNG with the edits. Is this known or something new/qlitch?? Maybe Im a newbie 🤪

Photoshop 26.6.1

Macos Sonoma 14.6.1

Hi, are the edits done in photoshop or camera raw?

see the first screenshot in this page if you are not sure of what camera raw looks like

    The Generative Remove Feature was introduced in Camera Raw last year (if I understand correctly), so the ability of saving the removal in a Raw File/DNG does not seem unexpected.
