Round-tripping from Lightroom to Photoshop and back

Hello,

I have tried to find an answer to this problem some time ago and never got a solution, so I am trying again and re-posting the same question...

When I go from Lightroom to Photoshop via Edit-In and then Save-Exit (or Save As-Exit) from Photoshop, the image is automatically stored in the correct LR folder and LR catalog updated accordingly.

However when I open multiple images from Lightroom in Photoshop (againthrough Edit In) either as a Copy or Open as Layers, then process the images in Photoshop, complete with Merge Visible, Flatten and Save (or Save As), Photoshop, rather than automatically return to Lightroom with updated catalog,  comes-up with a dialog on where to save the image on the hard disk (which then needs to be imported into LR) and LR catalog is not updated.

Somehow the "link" between LR and PS is broken.

Is there a way to make LR and PS work consistently on multiple images in the same manner, ie returning automatically the PS'ed imaged to LR catalog?

Both PS and LR are the latest CC versions, under Windows 10.

thank you for advice

Regards

Andre

    I have this same problem. I go from LR to PS via 'Edit in". When finished in PS I use Save/Close (Cmd W). The file goes through a save but when I return to LR it is not visible.

    The frustrating thing is that this has been an intermittent issue for the last few months. Sometimes everything works smoothly with the return ending up visible in LR, and sometimes the condition described above.

    I have read several of the comment sets and none seem to address this situation exactly.

    While in Photoshop, you always need to do a "save", never a "save as", else Lightroom will not know what happened to the new file.

    Depending on the sort order of the images when in LR, the new image may or may not be placed near the original file(s) in the grid or film strip.
