P: RAW: "Edit in Photoshop": Make the "stack with original" option available

[LRuser24]

Currently, when editing a RAW using "edit in photoshop", there is no dialog box with options to choose from. Problem: One cannot choose whether the newly created image will be stacked with the original or not. And very confusing: Whether the image is stacked or not depends on how one has set this option *previously* (!) in an edit which shows the options dialog (e.g. edit a JPG, or edit with an external editor different from PS) - even if that edit was cancelled, which oddly enough makes it a workaround for setting this option.

So my idea is: When editing a RAW using "edit in photoshop", show a little dialog box containing only the option "stack with original". If I remember correctly, this was still the case in LR 1.x (the dialog box contained also the "what to edit", but fixed to "Edit a copy with LR adjustments", obviously).

P.S. I already sent that using the old bug report form a while ago (as a bug). I hope it's ok to re-post it here as an idea (so at least I can see whether I am the only one that misses this, or others like that idea, too).

Seems buggy to me, so I've entered the issue into our bug database.

Thanks,

There is now an option in Lightroom 4 beta's preferences, so you can decide whether to stack externally edited photos with original or not. You can learn more about the beta here: http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjourn...
