Question

LR Raw to PS TIFF back to LR JPEG workflow

     I'm relatively new to PS having relied on LR editing for many years. All my images are RAW files in LR and my external editing is set to TIFF.   When I finish editing in PS I tried "save as"  PSD, TIFF and JPEG.  Of these PSD and TIFF just automatically pop up in LR as a stack with the original RAW. However for JPEG I have to go through the whole synchronisation thing to get it to appear which is slow and irritating.  The JPEG is then not part of the stack.

     Is this the expected/designed behaviour or is there any setting that would bring the jpeg back automatically like the other file types, which makes for slick workflow?  Just seems weird to be so clunky just for JPEG?

Thanks for any advice

Mike

    Yes, this is the expected behavior.

    Any good reason why this is so as makes it painful? Is it because you can't "stack" a jpeg with a raw file other than making it a sidecar file?

    You can set up PS as an additional editor and then choose jpeg from the pull-down menu – see image below. You will get prompted that PS is automatically recognized but simply click the button “Use Anyway”

    Right-click on a thumbnail and choose edit in PS exe (on Windows)

    When you finish editing in PS use Ctrl+S to save & overwrite and Ctrl+W to close. The jpeg will be in the LR Library.
