Question

LR Classic Edits when using Edit-in PS do no appear after Save

My LR/ photoshop package is installed on Win7 and Win10 machines. On Win10 machine, after Edit-in PS followed by save, the newly created file does not show in LR Library. Instead it has to manually Imported. This problem of non-automatic importing does not accur on Win7 machine. This is after reading all the recommendation, help stuff, settings, by the way,

 

I discovered on Win7 - LR adds a new version file to the Library before opening PS. Then after edit/save in PS, that new version is updated.   On Win10 machine, there is no new version file created in LR library - PS just opens straight away.  Could this be a permissions issue during installation on Win10 machine? I mean if LR cannot create a new version upon invoking Edit-In, how can PS update it later???

 

This is a fresh Win 10 installation just a week old. I contacted help, who reset all LR & PS profiles, but they were only able to show that Edit only works when saving back to the same filename.ext

    Two things to check

    1) In the Export dialog window make sure the Export To: box shows "Same folder as original photo" and that "Add to this catalog" is selected. Both of those are in the top most section "Export Location".

    you have to Export something to make those options stick. If you Cancel or Exit by click the X to close that window those options will not be saved.

    Then Export any image with those settings enabled.

     

    2) in the LR preferences on the External Editing tab make sure Stack with Original is checked (Enabled).

     

    Now send an image to PS that you have made changes to and save it in PS. It should not show up in LR.

    Just Shoot ME (not you)

    SOLVED !

    Operator error (me that is). As it says "Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments"  makes a new physical file and imports it into LR . Issue solved

    "Edit a Copy" opens the file and saves it back to the same file. 

    My mistake - unbelievable after 10years working with Lightroom and Photoshop.  Apologies all round !

    Then you weren't sending a RAW file but a TIF, PSD or JPG to PS. That dialog box only comes up if you are sending one of those file types or if the ACR versions between LR & PS don't match.

    The new version of the image being created before Photoshop opens occurs when the version of Camera Raw being used by Photoshop is not up to date/current with Lightroom. When Lightroom and Camera Raw are synchronized and up to date that file creation does not occur until the end of the Photoshop editing session. You might consider resetting your Lightroom preferences to see if that fixes the problem. Another thing to consider is if the sort order is set to creation date, "if" that new file is being added it would be added at the end of the film strip and not next to the original file.

      During Adobe help they guy took command of my Win10 desktop live session and reset both LR and PS Preferences, but it still does not work. The edited newly created file is not hiding anywhere on the grid view, I checked that before invoking Synchronise, and that is the only way to import the newly created file into Library.

      To true it is weird for many apparently. Are you 32 or 64 bit, and with the latest Win 10 updates? Also, does your LR write a new file into the library and grid view then pass it to Photoshop, or is it all to fast to observe this process which I clearly see happen on my slower Win7 installation


      When working with raw files, when I choose to edit in Photoshop, Photoshop opens and I do my editing and the image is saved at the conclusion of the Photoshop session. I'm using the latest version of Lightroom, and I'm current with the updates of Photoshop/Camera Raw. Speed has nothing to do with observing the process. That's just the way it works.

       

      Just one other thought, there is no 32-bit Lightroom Classic. Lightroom Classic is 64-bit only.
