Question

Syncing edits in Photoshop not working

For the past few months when I bring a photo from Lightroom CC to Photoshop to make edits using "Edit in Photoshop", after I am done with the edits in Photoshop and click on "Save" (I never use Save As), and then close the Photoshop window, the edited version does not get synced back in Lightroom CC.

 

macOS Monterey 12.2

Lightroom-Version: 5.2 arm64 [ 20220128-1049-86119e0 ] (Jan 28 2022)

    It seams that Lightroom 5.4 solves the problem.

      Hi,


      Thanks for reaching out. We are sorry for the trouble with Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop. We are here to help!

      Could you please confirm the type of images you are working with? Are they JPEG or RAW? As a test, have you tried using Photoshop's home page to open Lightroom Images directly? 

       

      Please create a test album in Lightroom & right-click on it to save it Locally. Try editing images out of the locally saved test album and let us know if this works.

      You can also log on to Lightroom Web (https://lightroom.adobe.com) to check current Sync issues on the left part of the screen.

      If there are any sync issues, click on them to know more, find the original for those images, and back them up safely before you empty the Sync issues from Lightroom Web.

       

      We hope to hear from you soon.
      Thanks!

      Sameer K

      Thank you for your support. I am working with Lightromm CC not LRC.

      I edit a photo in Lightroom CC with Photoshop (latest version), edit it and save it as TIFF. The file is saved on my MAC in the designated TemporaryEdits folder. But only in very few times imported by LR into the library. I have to do it manually.

       

      Take care.

        Hi Semafo,

         

        When you edit in Photoshop from Lightroom, do not "Save as..." - that process breaks the round trip. Just close the file in Photoshop and answer "yes" when it asks you to save changes. "Save as..." creates a new file that will not be picked up in the return trip to Lightroom.

         

        Actually reading further back, I see you mentioned you are not using "Save As," although that's what you described in your most recent message. I recall this problem being a bug in a previous version, and resetting the preferences in Photoshop solved it for me.
