When I add a caption to a photo in Photoshop, then save back to Lightroom Classic, it saves a grey screen. I have tried 'save as' and get the same result. I don't know what else to try. I am using a. Macbook Pro with Sequoia 15.7.3.

What file format do you use for Photoshop? If PSD, then check in the Photoshop preferences under File Handling that 'Maximize PSD and PSB file compatibility' is set to 'Always'.
