Previews not updating after edit on Photoshop

Hi guys, I was wondering if someone here could help me with this mini headache.

I have an issue that when I edit photos from

lightroom classic on photoshop cc and saved back, the previews on Lightroom cc mobile doesn't update. On LR classic they are fine, but not on mobile.

To make it more clear, this is my workflow:

upload photos to Lightroom classic > creat collections and sync (with smart previews) to Lightroom CC / mobile > on Lightroom classic I do "edit image in photoshop 2020" > finished editing on PS 2020 and saved back.

On lightroom classic the previews are updated nicely, however on Lightroom CC mobile the new previews doesn't update. The old one remains.

I have tried to delete smart preview and then creat them again via library but nothing.

the only work around it's to delete the collection (or sync) > delete smart previews > creat smart previews > creat collection and sync over and over again everytime I edit in photoshop.

I mean, it's a complete nightmare 😞

Does anyone have this issue?
thank you in advance and sorry for my English 🙂

Do you use 'Edit in Potoshop' while you are in the synced collection? If you are not in the synced collection, then the returned Photoshop image will not be added to the synced collection and so you will still only have the original online.

This bug still exists....

The preview updates in Library mode, but not develop...

Hello Leonel,

Not sure if you found the solution or not, but I came accross the same issue and I found the solution eventulally.

When you hit "Edit in Photoshop" and edit your picture make sure that you save the RAW file with the original file name. Photoshop/Lightroom often adds "-Edit" at the end of your file name (See image 1 below).

If the file name stays the same Lightroom will add a version to the original file and stack them together, so you will be able to see the Original file and the edited. (See image 2).

Hope this helped.

Please show a screenshot of Lightroom Classic (your entire screen, don't cut off anything), showing the selected image just before you do 'Edit in Photoshop'. Then show a second screenshot of the result (in Lightroom Classic) after you have done editing in Photoshop.

Heyyy!

well... well... well... Lightroom decided to make me look like a fool this time 🙂

while doing the screenshots, it actually worked! Just took awhile to synch. Very happy now.

sorry for making you waste more time on this. And again thank you so so much for your help.

Interesting and furstrating. I'm having the exact issue and workflow as the one you describe. The only thing that helped a bit was permenantely deleting the 'Recently Deleted' images from lightroom.adobe.com. It seems to affect your total storage quota (although our storage was indicated to be only half full) because after we did that, only 2 photos remained un-synchronised (before that, it was over 100 photos).

Looking at the various forums, Adobe hasn't been able to get their stuff together on this matter for over 3 years already. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Unbelievable.

Good luck.

Yeah I've been having this problem for years. It is a nightmare. Basically I've concluded 'edit in photoshop' is none functional. Actually this was the exact reason I bought capture one.

Now I ingest in Capture one- do my selects and edit in photoshop or keep work in progress jobs as Adobe cloud - then only when its finished do I import to Lightroom where it has its final resting place and for lightroom only tweaks.

I really really wish Adobe would fix what is kinda a screaming issue but yeah for me, edit in photoshop is non-functional.
