Can I stop LR assigning and adding PSD edits to my library?

It happens all the time. I select, say, 5 images to edit. They open up in Photoshop. I edit them and save as PSD files. They automatically get added to my LR library as aditional files, bonded to each of the edited RAW file.


I don't want LR to add any new files in my library. How can I prevent that?

Thanks.

Adding them to the LR catalogue keeps them under control. It's part of LR's role managing your pictures.

 

If you want to avoid it, then export and set PS as the post processing step. You can also duplicate the document in PS, save the duplicate and dump the other file.

Yeah, thanks. I've been doing "find the missing files" for a while. Then LR would collect all missing (deleted) PSD files for me and I'd delete them in one take.

But I thought there was a command that would prevent adding in the first place. I see now it's by design, so ok.

Yes Michael, I use that often when I just require an image to share to a friend or send to print and do not require it in my Catalog.
