P: Support cataloging PSB files

Yeah, same like the preview for the Radial and Zoom blur filter. Once found somewhere a complaint on this dated 2004. That's really quick offering solutions on customer enhancement requests and a perfect demonstration of Adobe's amazing customer awareness (may contains sarcasm). I apply that filter in Affinity Photo. Way more convenient. In Photoshop you must still guess the center and do the try and error game utillising a smart object. Just compare, 1. is Ps CC 2019, 2. is Affinity Photo 1.7.x (but it was already there in all prior version):

Ps CC 2019, tool in cool A.D. 1997 or so style


Affinity Photo's tool. 40 bucks, no subscription. As long you don't click Apply, you can move the centre anywhere without any latency. It's one of the very rare destructive filters of AP, so, make a layer copy first. However: because mostly there is a detail you do not want to have blurred in the centre, you normally mask it on a separate layer anyway:

Thanks for having started this thread. -  But isn't it instead of "should" much more a complaint "Why does Lightroom Classic (I never work with the other one) not catalog PSB files?" - Incompatible within their own environment... It's completely incomprehensible to me. - Honi soit qui mal y pense...

If it helps, as a stopgap, I have been using a "link' method to edit the PSB file in LR by creating a single-layer TIFF with linked PSB. Any changes to PSB get passed to the TIFF. There's a youtube video on the process. 

8 years?!? Come on Adobe, support your files already..... please 

if only Russian trolls used PSB this issue would be the #1 issue and be fixed by now

I have tried posting this thread to other Lightroom forums and tweeting the link as well. We should all trying get this thread in front of as many people as possible.

1. In the search box for this forum, search for "lightroom".

More votes always help to get Adobe's attention (of course, votes are just one factor among many in Adobe's decision-making). But note that this request, with 155 votes, is already very popular, the 13th most popular unimplemented feature request. 

Just noticed I had replied to this thread but not voted as my original post had been merged with this thread. Wonder if there are others who haven't voted too?

If this thread had more votes maybe Adobe would increase the priority of implementing it?
