Question

Synchronizing changes in PS to LR

Hi

I have the Photography plan and when I started using it 3 months ago, changes made in PS were automatically saved to the file in LR.
It does not happen anymore and I do not understand what has happened.

Ex. on a synchronization could be.

1. I edited an image in LR, and opened it over in PS via LR to adjust size and make minor adjustments.

2. When I finished editing in PS, I closed the image in PS. Then the changes were automatically saved in LR.

This is not happening anymore and I can not find the solution to it.

Any good suggestions on what might be wrong?

Please confirm that you are using Edit in Photoshop, and not Export set to open in Photoshop.

Did you check the sort order setting?

Have you tried searching for the filename, or filtering by file type?

Hi again

Yes I use Edit in PS, and when Im finished the editing and close the image, i got this option.

When im saving, it doesn't apeare next to the Raw file in LR.

And I have sorting the files.

When it's worked, i shouldn't save at closing the work in PS.

I can see, at PS open the Raw file as a Tiff file

Are you actually saving the file from Photoshop? I get the impression you are just closing out without saving -?

Is the problem that you cannot find the file in LR, or that the edits from PS aren't visible?

What kind of files does this happen with? Raw files or rendered files (jpg, tiff etc.)?

If you are working with raw files, a new file will be created, and returned to LR.

LR's sort order in Library has a tendency to change to Added order, in which case the new file will be at the end of the Library.

Change the sort order to File Name, and the new file will appear next to the original.

If you can't see the toolbar at the bottom of the screen, press T.

Hi Per

Thanks for answering.

The problem is this part. It's not happening anymore:(
