Question

Edit in PS... Then batch save and close?

I'm running into a unique problem that no amount of Google has been able to solve for me.
I do a bulk of my editing in LR Classic, but for certain groups of photos I give extra attention in PS.

Here's my issue:

If I create an action that includes SAVE and CLOSE in PS, those files DO NOT get sent back to LR.
But if I manually save each one they DO get sent back to LR.


Is there anything I can do to batch save my changes in PS so they get sent back to LR?
It would help my workflow tremendously. Thank you!

      It was requested that this also get posted to the PS support page, so I went ahead and added it with a bit more information. I've been told they can replicate the issue and are working to resolve.

      Not sure how you are saving but a simple Ctrl + s will save the file and send it back to LR then a Ctrl + w closes that image.

      Are you working on RAW files sent from LR?

      What is in your Action to Save and then Close each image?

      If it is a Batch Save & Close, Saving & Closing all at the same time that might be the problem.

        Thanks for the response.

        Yes, when I save individually using Ctrl+S those files are getting sent back into LR no problem.

        But if that Ctrl+S is included in my action so I can batch apply it to all of the open files LR is not getting those.

        Here you can see the action consists exclusively of CTRL+S
        And that in Automate->Batch I'm doing nothing but applying that to open files

        The JPGs were just brought in to show the actions I'm using and so I could bring up the Automate->Batch screen.

        The files returned are .tif

        Here's an actual screenshot of a CR2 sent to PS from LR.  Action fully expanded.

        Hopefully a helpful insight.
        If I have a single file opened then the Save Action works, even in Automate->Batch
        The single file returns to LR

        But if there are 2 files open in PS and I run the Save Action in Automate->Batch, neither file is returned to LR.
