Please help - JPG (jpeg) files open in Photoshop through camera raw 1st even though they are jpg files.
these files started life as Nikon RAW (nef) files, they were converted to DNG files through Lightroom - They were then processed by a proprietary software called PortraitPro and saved as jpg files.
When these files are brought into photoshop for final adjustments they first open as if they were a camera raw file - not only is this a pain to click an extra button to get to the image BUT in some cases the images are opening with a weird orange color cast.
These same jpg files behave like normal jpg in all other software except lightroom and Photoshop.
to further complicate the issue we took the original file and made it even cooler in color --adobe software actually opens the newer cooler files with the same original orange color cast
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated
does photoshop have some sort of cache that these files are getting stuck in ? or perhaps some metadata hidden in the jpg that PS is keying on ?

Could you let me know if there is a way to get photoshop to not export jpgs with this XMP sidcar file, I understand how to switch the setting so my system ignores it but when delivering a set of jpegs to client I dont want to have to inform my client, or anyone they pass the file to, to have to switch this setting.
Thanks

How do you create the jpgs at current?
Are you resaving jpgs or saving jpg-copies off of layered files (psd, tif, …)?

Either run a script if its a big batch of files or duplicate my master file, resize and save.

Its always from a layered psd or psb

Try Save for Web; do those also open in ACR?

That totally solves the problem, i can also remove them in Bridge with clear settings. Thanks for your input, I guess there isn't a setting that saves without any sidecar files?

I am not sure where that data is stored, possibly the metadata that’s accessible via File Info; it seems difficult to say without a file for testing.

Thanks, that did work
What was odd is that only about 30% of the jpegs did this the other 70% always opened as expected

You'll notice the option called "open jpegs with settings". What this means is that if the jpeg has metadata that are readable by ACR, then ACR will open it. If not, it goes directly to Photoshop. In other words; once opened through ACR it will continue to do so. This option is the default.
