Hi folks,

Here's my embarassing question for the day:
I have a layered TIFF with 3 NEFs placed as smart objects. (I'm using CS2) I managed to delete the original NEFs

, and am wondering if it's possible to extract them from the smart object layers? If I double click on the smart objects, I'm taken to Camera Raw to edit them, so this gives me hope.

Any ideas?

You should be able to save them to .DNG from Camera Raw, which , while not a .NEF file,
is still a raw file together with your adjustments. Look on the lower left of the ACR interface
(at least that's where it is in CS3).

Well that worked! I saved the DNG with the "embed original raw" option, then extracted it with DNG Converter.

Thanks for the tip!
