Posting from lightroom to photoshop

Hi Thanks for your help. I used a chat session with Adobe and he reset lightroom after an hour of mucking around. Said it was something i did but not true. anywqay thanks.

So, let's detail the workflow-

1) What type of file are you 'sending' to Photoshop from Lightroom-CLASSIC?  Is it a 'raw' (eg. NEF, CR2, ARW, etc) or is it a  bitmap file ('TIF, JPG, PSD, etc)? What is the full filename of an image you want to edit in Ps? Show us a screen-clip of the thumbnail in the Library Grid.

2) And what editing have you done to this file in the LrC Develop module?

3)  Are you selecting the photos in the LrC Library and using [Menu Photo > Edit-In > Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2021], or the shortcut [Ctrl+E]?

4) Are you using the 'Export' dialog in some manner?

5)  Do you see a dialog panel open with options as in this screen-clip?

6) Show us a screen-clip of how the photo looks in Photoshop.

Based on your answers we might proceed.

Post a link to the Youtube tutorial - If it is 'written' primarily for Photoshop users then it may not be providing the correct advice for Lightroom users!

What Version NUMBER of "Lightroom" are you using?

Lightroom (Cloud based v4) will open any file you 'Edit in Photoshop' as a TIF in the Ps window.

Lightroom-CLASSIC (v10) will 'appear' to open a raw file (in a 'Virtual' space!),  BUT until you have saved the Ps edited image out of Photoshop the document window only knows about the raw file you opened (through the LrC Camera Raw engine). It is only when you 'Save' the image does it create a TIF or PSD (as per the LrC Preference settings!)

I 'send'  a raw file to Ps by the LrC [Edit-In] command: It appears thus-

When I 'Save' my edited NEF file it instantly becomes a TIF that is 'Saved'!
