Not able to save PSD to lightroom from Photoshop

[CWH scuba]

If I open a photo in lightroom to be edit in photoshop 24 it will open in photoshop ok.  But when I try to save it back to lightroom photoshop will try to save as not save. Lightroom does not show the PSD. I am useing Windows 11.

Did you start in LrC, and select to Edit in Photoshop? Or did you start in Photoshop. And no, that is not clear.

I started in Lightroom and edited in Photoshop

How did you save it? Do not use 'Save as' and change the name, always use 'Save'. And make sure that you are not using a filter or a smart collection in Lightroom, that might filter out the returned Photoshop file (like a filter on raw files), because then it only looks like the photo was not saved back to Lightroom.

What kind of photo is it? Is it a jpeg perhaps? And did you use 'Edit Original'? If Photoshop uses 'Save as' when you try to use 'Save', then that usually is because your edits made using 'Save' impossible. For example because you opened a jpeg and added a layer. Jpeg does not support layers, so you can't use 'Save' in that situation.

I have used raw photos and tif.  I have not had this problem until approximately four weeks ago.  I have used Lightroom for a very long time and have not had this issue.

Well, if you use 'Save as' and you do not change the suggested file name and do not change the location, then it shouldn't really matter. Just check in the external editor preferences that the file format (psd, tiff) corresponds with what Photoshop does.

Lightroom will not show it I have to find it in Bridge or I can find it Explorer.

You stated that when you click on Save, in PS, that PS changes that to "Save As". Do you see something on your screen that indicates that, or is that based on the results?

Can you create a video capture of that?

A (save as) box shows up after I check the save box.

Can you kindly post a screenshot of that?

Also, wondering about any possible plugin (in PS) that might be getting in the way. This due to my ongoing search in the community for your issue. From that, see:

Thanks I may have found a way I can work around this.  I do not know if this has something to do with the way windows 11 is doing  the path.  I moved my photos to one external dive and the Lightroom calalog to that drive it now works like I thank it should.

  "after I check the save box"

What is a "Save Box"? I do not see one.

After I edit in Photoshop (any photo sent from Lightroom-Classic) I simply-

Press [CTRL + S]  or from the MENU > File > Save.

Then [Ctrl+W] to Close the TIF/PSD in Photoshop.

This is what I am doing is from the MENU>File> Save but photoshop would show the dropdown with safe as.  Thanks I may found a way I can work around this.

Same thing is happening to me.  I started in LR, used "Edit in Photoshop".  I used Save, couldn't find it, then used Save As.  I also saved it to another folder and I could not find it.  Changed its name.  Finder did find it!  It's there, but Lightroom does not want to show it.  I also used "Syncronize Folder".  Restarted my Mac.  First time this ever happens to me.  This was a Canon R7 Raw file.  Hope you can figure this out.
