lightroom library does not update files edited in Photoshop

[Dylandf]

Hello, 

I've a problem with files opened in photoshop from lightroom. Edited and saved (not saved as).

the modified file doesn't appear in the lightroom library. I tried synchronising the library but the problem remains. 

Lightroom and Photoshop are updated to to the latest version. 

Can you help me?

Hey Dylandf, 

We're sorry for the trouble. Please try resetting your Lightroom and Photoshop preferences. 

To reset preferences in Lightroom Classic for Windows, follow these steps:

1. Quit Lightroom Classic.
2. Restart Lightroom Classic while holding down the Shift + Alt keys.
3. A dialog box will appear asking if you want to reset preferences. Click Yes to confirm.

Alternatively, you can manually delete the preferences file:

1. Navigate to the preferences file location: C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences\Lightroom Classic CC 7 Preferences.agprefs.
2. Drag the preferences file to the Recycle Bin.
3. Restart Lightroom Classic to apply the changes.

Before resetting the preferences, check the Sort order in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. (if you can't see it, press T)

LrC has a tendency to change the sort order to Added order, in which case the file from PS will be the last one in Library.

Change the sort order to File name, and it should move to the right location.

The easiest way to reset the preferences is Method 3 on this page:
