Workflow: How to process images
Converting from Bridge I have some basic questions please.
In bridge opening the file would go something like this: Open the file from bridge the raw file *.nef file would appear in Adobe Camera Raw and I would perform my manipulations then continue on with it into Photoshop.
From there Photoshop still presented it as the Nef file format. So this is what I am familiar with currently.
Now in C1 I believe it is opened immediately as either a Jpg or Tif, bypassing the Nef format, is this correct? If so, is there any benefit or downside to this way of handling?
From what I have read, Tif is the way to go to maintain the full integrity of the file, so I am processing it as such.
If this is the recommended method, do I then just open the Tif format file and begin working on it in PS?
Hope this is clear...
Thanks,
Doug

Your post is clear to me and the answer is yes. CO4 converts raw into RGB (either JPG or TIFF). You can open that output file into your image editor (i.e. Photoshop) for further post-processing.
BTW, this is basically not different from what Bridge-ACR-Photoshop does, it only looks different because the ACR output is - when opened in Photoshop - an RGB format as well but not yet saved as either JPG or TIFF (or other format). Different order, same result (re. process, not re. image quality IMHO).0 -
