LRC not syncing or updating with a .psd

Explorer ,
Dec 23, 2024 Dec 23, 2024

Hello! I use LRC for photo organization and will often do "Edit in Photoshop" function to make sure the file remains in my library in LR. Sometimes the link between photoshop and LR gets broken and I have not found a way to import it. I've tried synchronize folder as well as trying to import it. When I try to import it, it will move the file and/or change its name (for example, adding a -2 after it) but it will not show up in my LR library! Any advice? PLEASE! Tried of similar issues where LR won't be able to add new images and/or synchornize folders (I've noticed mostly for .psds). I'm operating on LRC 14.1.1 and MacOS 15.1.1.

How large are these psd files? Lightroom has a maximum it size it can handle, though I don't know by heart how large that is.

Further reasons why a file saved by a PS external edit may not then re-import to the Catalog include:

 

  • For PSD, the option "Include Compatibility Preview" has been disabled perhaps to economise file size
    (though a TIFF will include this preview regardless, AFAIK)
  • The image has been converted into a non-supported colour mode, for example 'Duotone'.

It's 1.69GB but I do have another file that is also 1.69GB and it is linked just fine. Although that one got linked in the initial "Edit in Photoshop" where it creates a stack - this one I did the same thing but i think i had to quit lightroom before the PSD was saved and therefore that link was broken.

The file being renamed to append -2 suggests that the PSD has already been imported/synced. Besk that you check that the PSD files created when you saved them in Photoshop are not being stacked with original raw file.

the "-2" simply means that a prior file of that name already existed in that folder (physically on disk, and regardless of any importation to Catalog or not) before a second file was created.
