I use the "Open as Layers in Photoshop..." command often in my work. I deal with a high volume of product photos, and it would be great if I was able to have a shortcut for this command. It would also be great if I could select a lot of photos and have them open as layers into seperate files based on the stacks. (not 1 photoshop file with all the layers, but instead several photoshop files, 1 for each stack)

It would be great to see these improvements in future versions. Thank you for considering.

Since LrC 12.3 there is no way to launch "Open as Layers in Photoshop" function via the keyboard alt shortcut.

On Windows I could hit Alt + P and then "E" - for "Edit in" and then "OO" for "Open as Layers" option. (Alt + P E O O) Now the macros doesn't work anymore, since Adobe changed the position of the "Open as Layers in Photoshop" in menu. Now this shortcut activates "Open as samrt object in photoshop"

Please return the shortcut back, or make it available through Alt shortcut.

Hi Rikk,
yes, please do all you can to finally implement a keyboard-shortcut in Lightroom CC, which is important for me and many colleagues, to open multiple images in Photoshop as layers. This would really improve our daily work.

Thank you in advance,
Cora

@Rikk Flohr: Photography, LR 12.3 adds the shortcut Cmd Opt X / Ctrl Alt X for Open As Smart Object In Photoshop, not for Open As Layers In Photoshop (this feature request):

There still isn't a shortcut for Open As Layers In Photoshop defined in TranslatedStrings, so I think this feature request should be unmarked as Released.

[Ctrl]+[Alt] +[ X ] on Windows

If you go to Photos>Edit in> It will show you the shortcut for your system.
