Question

lightroom cc "edit in photoshop" saves to temporary edits folder

Hi! I've been having an issue where my photoshop edits won't shop up in lightroom after saving.

I use the "edit in photoshop" feature, edit the photo, and save (not save-as).

There are no filters or issues with "stack with original."

I figured out that, after editing, the tiff files are being saved to a "TemporaryEdits" folder within "Lightroom Library.lrlibrary."

 

I think this issue may have started because my harddrive was completely full, and therefore scratch disk was also full. I removed the files filling up my harddrive so it's fine now, but I don't know if that may have affected this.

 

I am using Lightroom CC version 5.0

Photoshop version 23.0.2

macOS Monterey Version 12.0.1

Hi. Did you find an answer to your problem? I am experiencing exactly the same problem - I am presently on a the free 7 day trial of LR and Photoshop. I edit my files and save them and they are then placed in a Temporary edits folder . When I close Photoshop and return to Loightroom the origianl unedited image is there but not the saved edited one. Any suggestions would be much appreciated as this is driving me mad!

I had to uninstall and reinstall both the programs. But remember to keep
the preferences.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear that. Could you please try updating Photoshop to version 23.1 through the Creative Cloud Desktop app and see if it helps?

Regards,

I have the same issue. Sometimes it will save back and it is a stack in Lightroom, other times it will not save back at all. I have to restart Photoshop and find the file in TemporaryEdits folder again and work from there. Using 23.1.1 on Macbook Pro 2021 M1Max Monterey 12.0.1
