Question

PS won't write to LRC

Ladies and Gents,

I am used to sending an image from LRC to PS for further editing. When done, I hit File - Save, File - Close

and the image then appears in my LRC image bar. I have recently upgraded to LRC v12 and PS2023.

Now, when I try to send an image from PS back to LRC, I hit File - Save and then I see a screen asking if I want to send the image to the Cloud. If I say 'no' then I am back where I started with no image sent to LRC.

Even if I say yes I still cannot send it to LRC. Does anyone have a clue what is going on?

Thanks,

Photodoc16,

The image form PS definitely won't save back to LrC if you save it in the cloud.

Is it possible that you are saving it to a different folder than the original when you say no to the cloud option? If this is the case, it probably is in LrC but you can't find it. 

I always put my original image in a LrC Collection before sending it to PS to edit. That way, not matter where I save it on my computer, it will show up in the LrC Collection where I started. It's much easier to find this way.

For round trips between LR and Photoshop, one must simply Save, never Save As. Of course, saving to the cloud in preferences isn't going to work.

Save As works same as Save. I just tested it by saving a file to my desktop. The image was returned to LrC as expected. I started from a Collection and the edit.tiff file was imported to LrC and added to the Collection.

The process works. The problem is that users don't pay attention to where they save files from Ps and they don't always understand the catalog system. The edited Ps file does get imported back to LrC but they can't find it. I suspect that is what happened for Richard.

It's the preferences in Photoshop for Save (to the cloud rather than drive); you should try resetting.

Hello again you dog you,
I went to PS preferences and tried multiple sections and could not find a
choice between saving to the cloud or to a drive. I am obviously missing
something.
Maybe I should put you on a retainer.
Thanks,

In Photoshops preferences search for save: look for what I provided in my screen capture.
