16.4.4 - Won't load TIF into Photoshop
I'm working with RAF files from a Fuji GFX camera. When I try to "edit with" or "open with" any tif files, it won't load into Photoshop 2024.
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues or happen to have a work around?

Check your system file type associations to make sure Photoshop 2024 is associated with TIF files. This topic comes up from time to time and this is sometimes the cause.

Thanks Walter. I tried to change the associations. And opened the TIF file directly in windows Explorer. No issues.
Now in capture one.. It seems c1 is able to open the TIF files. It would load into Adobe camera raw, however my adjustments from capture one don't seem to transfer over. It's being very buggy. Using "edit with", I've had my TIF file load into Adobe camera raw with the photo looking well overexposed. And using the "open with" option, the file seems to look fine, however doesn't reflect my edits done in capture one. I created a support ticket.

If you are using "Edit With", there is no need to open it in Adobe Camera Raw first when you go to Photoshop. (There is a setting in Photoshop somewhere that prevents TIFFs automatically opening ACR.) In my experience, when I use "Edit With" either with Photoshop (or more usually with Affinity Photo) the TIFF looks the same in PS (or AP) as it did in Capture One.
Is it possible that ACR is auto-applying an adjustment of some kind?
Also if you are using Edit With, and Capture One is creating a TIFF to send to PS, presumably that TIFF will look (in Capture One) the same as the adjusted raw file. I can't see any way that PS could strip out the C1 adjustments, as they are "baked in" to the TIFF>
If you use "Open With" then
- if the file you are using "Open With" on is a raw file, then what Capture One will send to PS is the raw file itself, without any Capture One adjustments.
- if the file you are using "Open With" on is a TIFF previously created in Capture One, then what goes to PS is that TIFF including the Capture One adjustments that are baked in to it when the TIFF was created (but not any adjustments made to it in Capture One after the TIFF was created).

Why did my reply to Peter Tran a moment ago immediately get labelled as Pending Approval as soon as I pressed the Submit button? It contains no outside links, and no profanities, or anything like that.

"Open With" bypasses any Capture One edits and just attempts to open the original file in the chosen application. So, that part seems to be working as intended.
"Edit With" will incorporate the RAW edits into a new file (typically a TIF file) and then open that TIF file in the target application. A TIF file shouldn't open into camera RAW, it should load directly into Photoshop as a TIF (not a RAW file).
There is no way to open a RAW file in Photoshop with Capture One edits applied because Capture One edits to a RAW file are proprietary and not something Photoshop understands. That's why you should use "Edit With" where it will bake the edits into a TIF file and then open that TIF file in Photoshop.

A TIF file shouldn't open into camera RAW, it should load directly into Photoshop as a TIF (not a RAW file).
Whether it does or doesn't is governed by a preference buried several layers into Photoshop's settings.

If Adobe Camera Raw preferences are set to open TIF files then it will. This is not a Capture One issue.

TLDR: I rolled back both PS and C1 to versions that didn't have issues.
Thank you everyone for providing feedback. I ended up rolling back both Photoshop and C1 to previous versions. I wasn't able to figure out what the root cause of the issues were. I did confirm "file handling" options in Photoshop, however that did not seem to help address the issue of me loading a TIF from C1 into PS. Oddly enough, trying to use "edit with" option kept loading the TIF file in a way that opened up Adobe Camera Raw - it also did that with "open with" (believe that is how it should behave).
Loading a TIF from C1 into PS with "Edit with" option would open with Adobe Camera Raw and the adjustments were not adjustments that were applied in C1. Very annoying and concerning.

If Adobe Camera Raw is opening the TIFF then look at the Adobe Camera Raw settings to disable that. That is not caused by Capture One.
