I just tried it again and it worked as I said. I opened a ".CR2" raw file in Lightroom. I then did an "Edit in Dfine 2" and chose "Edit A Copy With Lightroom Adjustments" and it opened the TIF file in Dfine 2. I saved in Dfine 2 and the TIF opened in Lightroom. Then I right clicked on the TIF file and did an "Edit in Sharpener Pro 3: Output Sharpener". I then chose "Edit Original" (the TIF file) clicked "Edit" and the TIF opened in Sharpener Pro 3. I made my adjustments there and did a save. The TIF repoened in Lightroom again. There was only one "-Edit.tif" file along side my original ".CR2" file. If you keep editing the same TIF file as an "Edit Original" instead of a "Copy with Lightroom Adjustments" you will not get multiple TIF files. You will end up with a single TIF containing all Nik adjustments regardless of how many times you keep sending the the TIF to other Nik plugins. You just have to always choose to "Edit Original" each time after the initial TIF file is created.

I will have to give that a try. I guess the "edit original" is throwing me a curve because they mean the most recent file but "original" means of all things, ORIGINAL to me. Thanks.



Glad to help. It threw me at first too. As long as you onlt use the "Edit copy with Lightroom Adjustments" the first time and then use that TIF and edit it as "Edit Original" you will be all set and only get one TIF file with all Nik adjustments regardless of how many times you keep sending it to additional Nik filters.

I tried it yesterday and it works fine. Glad to know. I was confused by the "Edit Original" thing too.
