Question

Edit in Photoshop Feature Lightroom CC

Hello Everybody,

 

When is Adobe going to fix the issue where our Photoshop edits are not preserved after we edit in Lightroom CC. The “Edit in Photoshop feature is a key part of my work flow and the ability to toggle between Lightroom and Photoshop while preserving all of our layers and edits in Photoshop is really essential, especially when working for Clients who may have critiques that apply to any part of the work flow. Pleae fix this issue as soon as possible, this feature has been a problem for too long and absolutely should have been included with Lightroom CC. I would not like to regress to Lightroom Classic, and prefer to continue using the latest software.

 

Kind regards,

Candace Rogati

I would strongly caution against using Lightroom Cloudy in any professional workflow. It simply misses too many features. It is targeted at people who only work with a few images, never print, and do very little with their images apart from showing them on mobile platforms. The only point of cloudy is that all your images are in the cloud and will look the same whereever you open Lightroom Cloudy. It is best understood as a port of the mobile Lightroom app to the Desktop. It is absolutely not the logical evolution of Classic. Over the years it might gain some features that make it closer to Classic but we have not seen rapid movement at all in that respect. In the mean time Classic keeps gaining features and the chasm is as big as ever. So for the coming many years Classic is the logical choice for most uses.

 

I actually use Lightroom Cloudy quite often on an iPad. I sync collections from Classic to the cloud and do some light editing and use it to show off portfolios to people. This works well but I could not live without Classic.

    Thank you for the explaination. As a noob, I assumed the cloud version was the most recent...

    Anyone who knows Adobe's plans cannot say what they are - they would be under an NDA.

    Maybe I have misunderstood your problem, but when I select a layered file in Cloudy Lightroom 3.1 and use Edit in Photoshop, the file is opened with all its layers.

    I will speak to Adobe about it directly again thanks. Once you edit the photo in Lightroom

    again after the Photoshop edits, the layers will be flattened. The current work around is to continue using Classic, but I am already upgraded to CC, and would not like to look back at older versions of the program.

    Changing to CC is not "upgrading", it's changing to a different program that excels at putting stuff in the cloud but which has fewer and weaker features. Classic Lightroom has more professional-level features.
