P: Support cataloging PSB files

Lightroom should catalog psb files, just as it does psd files. I have many psb files that are not over the 65,000 pixels per side or 512 megapixel limits, but are larger than the 4GB limit on psd files, and it would be nice to see them in Lightroom.

Maybe we are all posting this request in the wrong place?

Pretty flimsy update for an entire year. This is a bummer.

Adobe? Are you even there? No one from Adobe has even commented on this thread? Your silence is deafening . . .

Six years? And not even a comment. Please hear our needs? We are talking about a 4 layer photoshop document that becomes a PSB, that Lightroom will NOT read . . . . loyal customers here - we need your help.

Definitely a bummer. It's a small update that could have made a really big difference for a lot of people.

Sigh.... come on Adobe.  Camera sensors are getting bigger, and so are our editing images.  You defined this market... don't fumble it away!

So new LRCC and LRCCC came today, and still no PSB support in any of them.

That's why I switched over Capture One : way more responsive on feature requests and way more used by professional photographers!

Have now switched LR with Bridge.
Got all my brushes and stuff from LR to ACC, ACC can do the same as LR (at least the develop part, I hardly used anything else than libary and dev), and is way faster

This thread has been live for 7 years! Don't think that Adobe really cares about anybody, unless they are starting to sell fewer subscriptions.  
It's ridiculous that LR cannot read their own PSB files, it's an Adobe invention after all. 
If a little feature request is ignored for that long, which would be so easily solvable, I'm starting to question,  why I should keep paying Adobe for not listening to their customer base. 
Just to make a comparison: Question or feature requests to the Capture One team are actually answered by them...

I totally agree. Lightroom's forte is cataloging images, and with my 42 MP camera these photoshop files all too readily need the PSB format. Please, Adobe, fix this!
