Are these images in a cloud synced folder like iCloud, Dropbox or OneDrive perhaps? These cloud sync services often have a 'cloud only' option, where the files are (only) stored in the cloud, and just a link is kept locally. Lightroom Classic cannot work with such images. It needs the real image to be stored locally.

Hi @CWL 4488, welcome to the community!

Could you share a bit more about what’s going on? It’d be helpful to know which versions of Lightroom Classic and Photoshop you’re using. Also, how are you opening your images from Lightroom Classic into Photoshop, and how are you saving them afterward?

If you’re able to share a few more details or even some screenshots of your workflow, that would really help us get a clearer idea of what might be causing the issue.

Thanks so much!
