Editing in PS from LrC

Hello. I'm new to this forum and apologize if this has previously been asked and answered.

 

My workflow starts in LrC with RAW files, and I do most of my adjustments there. Occassionally I need to do something to the image where I find PS does a better job. Before the latest updates, I simply selected the image and presses Command/E, and the file opened in PS. Now when I do that the files sometimes open in 16 bit, and sometimes in 32 bit. Not a huge problem, but to do what I want to do I have to go through the extra steps to convert to 16 bit. I've looked in LrC  preferences and it is set to open files in 16 bit - and often they do! I'm slightly perplexed as to why the files don't always open the same.

Correct answer GoldingD
sometimes open in 16 bit, and sometimes in 32 bit.

Are any of these images the result of any process in LrC that creates a 32 bit DNG file?

 

  • Photo Merge for example

Thanks for your question - I believe it solved the mystery! I had used the new “HDR” feature in the basic edit panel on the files that open as 32 bit. That must be the culprit. I will try doing external editing in the future *before* using that feature.
