Tiif files created by capture one open in camera raw instead of as tiff in Photoshop

[Andre_27]

Hi there, I have a strange problem in Photoshop/Bridge with camera raw and Capture one.

I had to use capture one for postproduction due to some client requierements.  Exporting the raws from camera raw to tiff would cause Photoshop to open these tiffs in camera raw.  Exporting them in PSD format would open them normally as Photoshop file.  Doing that works fine, but strangely, after retouching and stuff, from Photoshop generated Tiffs would again only open as Camera Raw, including changing totally the look of the images.

Now I know I can switch off Tiff support in camera raw, but when I send those files to my client they will have the same problem. I want to get rid of the added information attached to those Images.

Please help!!

Thank you

Andre

OK sorry, I was able to remove camera raw settings in bridge^^ problem solved so far, still need to find out why that happend in the first place but thats with capture one I guess.

The default setting in ACR file handling is "Open TIFFs with settings". If the file contains parametric edits readable by ACR, then that's where they will open. It's enough that the file opens once in ACR, then it will have ACR settings.

The solution is to either disable TIFF from ACR file handling, or make sure the file contains no ACR settings.

Most people will have this at default, so when sending files out you'll want to go for the second option.

In addition to the native methods of removing the CRS metadata, one can also incorporate scripts in the workflow to do so as well.

/* Remove Camera Raw Settings CRS Metadata from Open Doc.jsx */

#target photoshop

removeCRS();

function removeCRS() {
    if (!documents.length) return;
    if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript == undefined) ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject("lib:AdobeXMPScript");
    var xmp = new XMPMeta(activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData);
    XMPUtils.removeProperties(xmp,XMPConst.NS_CAMERA_RAW, "", XMPConst.REMOVE_ALL_PROPERTIES);
    app.activeDocument.xmpMetadata.rawData = xmp.serialize();
}

    var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles(/\.(jpg|jpeg|tif|tiff|psd)$/i);
    for (var a in fileList) {
        removeCRS(fileList[a]);
    }
}

function removeCRS(selectedFile) {

    var xmp = xmpFile.getXMP();
    XMPUtils.removeProperties(xmp, XMPConst.NS_CAMERA_RAW, "", XMPConst.REMOVE_ALL_PROPERTIES);
    if (xmpFile.canPutXMP(xmp)) {
        xmpFile.putXMP(xmp);

This solves the problem. No need for Bridge.

In Camera RAW got to Camera Raw Preferences-file handling -JPEG/HEIC setting and Tiff settings. Disable both
