No p;roblem editing Lightroon CC photo in Photoshop. I Save the file to the Cloud but it never got back to Lightroom.  That is different than it was about a month ago.  The file seems to be saved in a folder "Temporary Edits" but I can't find my edited photo in that folder whenn I do a Spotlight search to "Temporary Edits".  What is the procedure for getting a Photoshop-edited photo back into Lightroom CC?

Cmd+E (open in Photoshop)

Cmd+S to save Photoshop edits

Cmd+W to close in Photoshop and update Lightroom Library – stacked with original

N.B. don’t use “Save As” which will create a new document which Lightroom will not recognize. You must use “Save” (Cmd+S) to overwrite the tiff file sent from Lightroom.

Here is my 'take' on the topic of "Round Tripping" Lightroom <> Photoshop-

1) I had created a Panorama from several images oin Lr. The small Badge indicates the images used in a Stack.

2) I  opened the Panorama version in Ps [Ctrl+Shift+E] and increased Saturation, then [Save] [Close] The Saturated image appears on top of stack.

3) I opened the new Ps 'saturated' version in Ps, add a Mono adjustment layer,  then [Save] [Close]. The new 'Mono' image is now shown on top of the stack. And all three versions (original panorama, Saturated panorama, Mono panorama) appear as versions in the expanded stack-

The 'Mountains' badge indicates the one version that shows in Grid view.

   

At any time later I can select a Ps-edited version of the panorama and it re-opens in Ps with layers intact- (no flattening of layers occurs for me)

eg. This is the Mono preview in Lr re-opened in Ps.

 

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

Thanks!

Before I read your reply I "saved as" the edited file to my computer to a file on my desktop, imported that file into Lightroom and placed it in the appropriate album.  Then I tried to exit Lightroom but got a warning that if I did Photoshop could not return the edited file to Lightroom - Photoshop was waiting 18 hours for me do do something, but what?  Previouly, I had saved the file to the Cloud in Photoshop.  Maybe the problem was that I had not exited Photoshop (thanks for the "cmd + W"). 

 

I should be OK now.  Thanks for your help
