JPGs opening in ACR
@Fevel, no it was definitely a .jpg. It was a friend's snapshot that I was going to do a little editing on as a favor. That's why I found it so odd -- because I know the picture wasn't even shot in RAW to begin with!
@gwlaw99, that would have at least made sense...but unfortunately that wasn't the case either. In fact I opened it a few different ways and each time it did the same thing. (Opened from the folder on my hard drive by right-clicking and choosing "Open with Adobe Photoshop", which I do often with .jpgs; also clicked and dragged the file into an open PS window which I normally do from time to time as well.)
@effron and Alan, I'm sure that's exactly the issue; the problem is I never selected that setting in my preferences -- in fact I haven't changed anything in preferences in over a month -- so I'm just wondering how on earth the preferences were changed.
So to be specific here's what I know:
- I know it's not a RAW file
- I know I opened the same way I always do
- I know something in Preferences got changed
- I know it's easy to change Preferences back to the way they were before
The only thing that's a mystery is that I didn't change anything and all of a sudden PS is acting funny. It's always so stable and dependable for me that I was caught off guard by this, and wondered if anyone knew of PS randomly "spazzing out" like this!
