Question

Stacking not working with Edited PSD/TIFs

I have been using Lightroom (Classic) for over decade and have had the same workflow:

  • Work in lightroom for the selects
  • From Lightroom, Edit in Photoshop... Make Edits. Save..
  • Go back to lightroom and see my CR2 and PSD file side by side so I can see / work with the original and the edited version.

Somehow this is no longer working... The edited images do show up in my catalog (in "All Photographs") but in the folder view and with my images, they are not showing up. 

I have hunted around for settings (Preferences - Auto Stack = Yes, Filters, sorts, etc.) and everything is set 'correctly' and nothing has changed from my previous catalog / workflow but for some reason they aren't showing up. 

It's really maddening and it _feels_ like a bug, but I don't see anyone else reporting it. 

Lightroom Classic Version: 13.1

Mac OS Version: 14.2 (I do see the issues for that update but I don't see THIS issue as one of them..) 

Any help and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Update: Just upgraded to 14.2.1 and tested it out and still behaving the same way... Sigh.

    If the edited image shows up in 'All Photographs', then it must be in some folder as well. But maybe it's in another folder than the original photo. The 'capitalisation error' can do that. So do the following: in 'All Photographs' select the edited photo, and then choose 'Photo - Go to folder in Library'. Lightroom will show you in which folder the photo is stored, so you can see if this is the same folder as the original (the way it should be), or in another folder.

    THank you for your response but nope that's not it. See attched screengrab where you can see where I tested .tif and .psd for the image Icarus-135 - I've overlayed the finder folder with the Library view of the folder. I took a screen grab of the 'All Images' too...

    Oh that's great - that might be a better solve - can you elaborate on what your presets are doing? Is it something you can share your 'recipe'?


    @davco9200 It's pretty simple...

    Here's a screenshot of of my import setting. Highlighted is the now correct location.

    My first step was to remove all (in my case three) import presets.

    Next, in Finder, I created a new folder for my pics (in my case Ligtroom Actual)

    Next I created a new import preset to this new location

    Next I imported one dummy picture for every year. This creates the annual sub-folders

    Next I removed all dummy pictures leaving empty folders per year

    Next I moved all subfolders (events) to the correct new annual folders

    Finally I removed the obsolete old Dropbox folders (both in the Library Module and Finder)

    The whole procedure took me about 10 minutes.

     

    This is how it looks finished:
