Why is it that when I export my finished photos from photoshop in Tiff, they convert automatically to Xmp files that cant be opened?

Can you describe how you're finishing your photos? Do you mean correcting them in camera raw? Are the tiffs there or just xmps? Xthe xmp format is just for the metadata for correcting an image, it isn't the actual image. It's just used to apply the correcting made in Camera Raw. So you should have the tiffs.

Hi Chuck,

I open them in Camera raw, click into PS,work on them in PS, save as tiff, export to original file. xmp file opens next to cr2 file, copied worked on file nowhere to be seen. Have uninstalled lightroom, changed save preferences to tiff, still have xmp files next to raw files.

Thank you

Shaun

I'm not sure what you mean by export to original file, unless that's though Lightroom.  If you make a correction in Camera Raw, it will create an XMP file with the same name as your raw file, that's normal, and that file contains all the corrections Camera Raw did to that file. If you delete it, it will delete all the corrections to the original raw file but it will not delete the original raw file. I opened a raw file (.raf) in ACR, made some corrections, opened it in PS, did a slight corrections, and saved it as a tiff. This is what I get in that folder:
