saving files imported from Lightroom in Photoshop uses last used folder not original folder

If you have any questions on using Image Processor Pro just let me know. I find it very useful.

I did some further testing and Quick Export only saves Copyright and Contact Info to the file metadata. Ratings, Color Label, keywords, etc. are not saved to the Quick Export output file. If you want that metadata to be included in the JPEG output file I suggest downloading the Image Processor Pro 3.2b5 script and install it. It has much more features and capability than the PS Image Processor. Just make sure Keep Original File is checked as shown below. If not it will permanetly delete the original file from your hard drive with no Recycle bin or trash folder recovery possible.

EDIT: Ignore this post if using Lightroom.  Suggestions are for Lightroom-CLASSIC!

The moment you "save it as a JPG in Photoshop" using [Save As] or [Save a Copy] you have 'disconnected' the link between Ps and the folder of the file from LrC. Ps will then use the folder it lasts remembers unless you manually choose the source folder.

If you frequently want to 'save' files from Photoshop as JPG format, you might benefit from work-arounds-

1) Set up an 'Additional External Editor' preset for Photoshop to open the new file as a JPG (as a Copy) in Ps. (Then [Save] will place file next to original in LrC) (The document in Ps must conform to JPG requirements- 1 layer, 8bit, etc, to Save as a JPG)

2) Use the Export dialog to Export the photo with [Image Format] = JPG, [Post Processing] = Open with Photoshop, [Rename] = adding 'edit', Check [Add to this Catalog]. And again only use [Save] from Ps.

In PS make sure Edit> Preferences> File Handling> Save As to Original Folder is checked. If not check it, close PS and relaunch PS to apply it.
