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.

and yet Adobe seem to have the resources to create a whole other version of LR no one really asked for!!! I think that the Photoshop format is seriously outdated anyhow. Right now the slowest part of my workflow is saving Photoshop files in either PSD or TIFF files.

Yeah, but while it seems like an easy fix, I think it would take some considerable re-coding to expand the variables to allow PSB. That's the roadblock. Maybe something like LR9 will have it? For now, there is a workaround if you absolutely need LR editing of a PSB using "Linked Smart Objects"

This is getting embarrassing for a company like adobe... it has been ages and modern cameras hit the limit so easily.

Adobe!!!! - It is ridiculous and insulting to photographers that Lightroom Classic does not support your own "psb" file format!!! Shame on you!

There's a way. Hit up youtube for the walkthrough. You can open the PSB in PS, then do some sort of export as reference to a PSD single-layer then import that to LR and all changes you make to the PSB in PS will be propagated to that PSD.

How can I use PSB files within LR CC? Currently I convert them to TIFF and import this to LR. It is strange to me that Adobe doesn't support its own image file format in LR.

4 Months and still no movement on this? Maybe we can get it back in Bridge '20...
