I installed Lightroom Classic and Photoshop on a new MacBook Pro, copying over my old catalog. When I select Photo>Edit in>Photoshop CC 2018, instead of the usual behavior of the photo opening in PS and then saving back to Lightroom:
- Lightroom creates a duplicate of the JPG file with a "-2"
- Even when I select File>Save in PS, the Save As dialog opens and I have to save it manually
- When I then have a have a PSD file in the directory that Lightroom has not added to the catalog and the -2 JPG produced by Lightroom.
I have read other conversations about this tried everything I could find:
- Uninstalling and reinstalling both LR Classic and PS, saving preferences
- Uninstalling and reinstalling both, not saving preferences
- Resetting the preferences in Lightroom
- Setting the file to PSD and TIFF in the prefernce
Anything I miss? Any advice?
Thanks!
Xlcor,
some workaround help for you in the end of this posting, just scroll down.
But first of all: do not let the aggressiveness of some users here who act like Adobe-bloodhounds doubt your question. I don't know what it is, but some here act as if the Adobe programming code was a religious experience... stuff like "this is user error" is just plain bs...
I do experience the same problems as you AND: before the latest updates, it has actually worked! There are three options to edit LR pictures in

No I'm not in a collection. I have reset Photoshop preferences, no change. The TIF used to appear in LR by simply hitting save and then close, head back to lightroom and voila there was the tif right beside my .nef file. That No longer happens,I hit save and instead of PS showing a progress abr of the file saving and it being transferred to LR I am confronted by "save as" and it has the correct folder to save it as where the file originated from, however the file when I go back to LR is not amongst other files as a tiff until I hit the import button and navigate to that same folder and then choose import.

However when it lands in PS it is still in the .NEF or raw file, after editing it is saved as a TIFF.
That is the correct and expected function if you send a 'raw' file to Photoshop.
eg. My DNG file opened in Ps- (by Ctrl+E in Lr with .TIF file type preference)
Make some edits and- "Save" (by Menu or [Ctrl+S] - The tab changes to .TIF
Nothing more to do in Ps, other than 'Close' the document.
My .TIF image appears back in Lightroom-
You last post says "it is saved as a TIFF". Is this NOT happening now? (ie.the .TIF NOT appearing in Lr)
If NOT happening, have you tried resetting the Photoshop Preferences? ('move' it to restore if needed!)

It's an older topic, so hopefully you have already figured out a solution. I had the exact same problem and what for me turned out the be the problem was a setting in Lightroom.
In Edit->Preferences->External Editing for whatever reason the Color Space was set to ProPhoto RGB. I changed this to sRGB (in which I have Photoshop set up too) and all is working again as it used to.
Maybe it helps for you too, give it a try.

I am also pulling at my last nerve as I sit with 2020 and try to get my edited image back into Lightroom Classic.!
The save to computer dialogue came up. I saved the tiff. It didn't come back to Lightroom; then I couldn't find it, then it was "missing original in Lightroom"
There is no direct answer that works here. I must be missing something AS WELL AS A LOT OF TIME.
THANKS IN THE HOPES OF A SOLUTION..

Same. Had an issue which customer services fixed by remote access to my PC - took them awhile so I had no chance. Anyway I now have updated versions of Photoshop and Lightroom. LR sends images to PS fine for editing. Previously when I saved in PS this would then show a new image in LR with '.edit' added which I could then export as needed. This is not happening and I have no clue where or even if the edited image is being sent/stored. So for the know it alls who say user error you are wrong. I have no clue how to fix this and it seems the know it alls dont either! If there are any helpful and sensible people out there with the solution please let us know.

After much issues with saving an image from PS back to LR it finally was solved by restarting my imac. The new CC apps opened and when I did a edit in LR and a save, it put the saved image back in LR. Hope this helps because it was really pulling my hair out and can make you want to drop your subscription to Adobe CC sometimes when updates are made and the operating characterisitics change. A complete restart of your Imac or PC can solve many issues.
