Hi !!

I hope someone out there can help me with the following problem?

1. Opening a NEF raw file takes a long time , however the next files open
blazing fast!

2. Sometimes Tiff files open in PS ; sometimes thy open in Camera Raw!

XP pro
PS cs4
Raw 5.4

Thanks
Arnold

On your desktop click on My Computor and navigate to any sample of a
Tif (or whatever format).Open the directory but do not open the
picture. Instead, right click on it and go with your left button to
'choose program'.

Now you select the block which says 'always open with...' and make
your pick.

There you are... as from now on, it will always open
via the selected program.

Look at the Bridge Preferences.
It has a checkbox that is supposed to allow you to automatically open tif
and jpegs in the raw converter always or on the desktop always.
However it is Bridge and as such has never worked as it should for many
users, moi included.
One of many bugs in Bridges that have existed since version one and which
Adobe denies exists, or at least does not bother to fix.
Another annoying bug is the failure of Bridge to remember custom desktop
settings from session to session although those custom desktops are listed
as created in Bridge you painstaking customizations can be randomly erased
from session to session no matter how often you save them.
Look up how to reset Bridge to its default settings when you first start the
problem (you have to do some of this work yourself).
Then set the Bridge preferences how you like.
If you are lucky Bridge will work properly. If Bridge does not work properly
for you you are SOL per Adobe and they could care less that their $700
retail flagship program is a coding and design mess--why does the ACR exist
apart from the desktop and have separate but overlapping controls when you
have to go the desktop anyway to do anything useful with the image, like
print? The design of CS4 is a conceptual disaster/lunacy/bad joke on users.
CS4 is a perfect example of what happens when a manufacturer has no real
competition.
