Open photo in photoshop from Lightroom

Question

Hello

I have a very frustrating issue , and I hope someone here can help me.

First I make a few adjustments to a photo in lightroom and then select the option to edit in photoshop cc2018 ( no issue so far)

Next I make a few adjustments to that one image - maybe a couple of adjustments layers and a masked layer, no big deal.

Once I'm happy with the image - I will then close the image and it pops up in Lightroom with the new adjustments. ( no issue here)

Here's where the fun starts!

I decide to open the image in photoshop again - and all the layers have disappeared??

Any idea how this is happening??

If I save the image to a new location - so it doesn't go back into lightroom - I'd have access to these layers, so it appears to an issue with lightroom.

Thanks in advance guys!

Aidan

When you open an image in Photoshop for a 2nd time, you must select "Edit Original" if you want to see the original layers. Both Edit a Copy and Edit a Copy with Lightroom adjustments will flatten the image before opening in Photoshop.
