Question

Transform tool not working when I open an image in Photoshop

I just corrected an image in Lightroom using the Transform Guided tool, vertical and horizontal, then open the image in Photoshop to do more work but the corrected effect from Lightroom hasn't fully been effected in Photoshop. Any problems reported following the latest updates or does anyone have any idea?

Thanks in advance

Just a hunch, probably a bad one. After you made your adjustments, did you immediately send it to Photoshop? Normally probably not an issue, but if you did, try again, except accomplish one more develop edit (bot a transform one) so that you know the transform should be 100% done, perhaps a small basic edit, just something to show up in history above the transform.

This as a test.

Have to correct myself a little in terms of workflow here. The file in lightroom was a 5 image blend not a single file but it has never made a difference before. Here is the amended LR version before sending to PS.

Here is the same image as it appears opening directly in PS using CTRL+E from LR without any other editing

I amended the image in the end to get a result I was happy with but there shouldn't be a difference between the 2 just opening up from LR into PS.

@GoldingD - yes opened straight from LR as I normally do. I tried an extra step as you suggested ( a crop) and it gave the same result.

I'll try that thanks. A question though - if I've already edited the image in LR and asked for it to be opened in PS via CTRL+E, why aren't the adjustments being transferred across as it's already been edited? It seems as though it's reverted to an unedited version. Sorry if I'm being a bit dense here!

I think I already explained this. An edited file is not sent to Photoshop, Photoshop opens the raw file (in Camera Raw, but you won't see the interface) using the Lightroom settings. So if one of those settings says 'apply the lens profile', but ACR can't find that profile, then this could happen.

What type of image is it, and if it is not a raw image, what did you choose in the dialog you got when you sent it to Photoshop?

Thank you for your response Johan. It's a raw image. I opened from scratch in LR Classic, down to the Transform menu and made guided adjustments which looked fine in LR. Opened the image in Photoshop using CMD+E on a PC and noticed that the two verticals were correct, as was the bottom horizontal but the top horizontal was bowed outwards. Any help appreciated thanks

That is odd. When you send a raw image from .Lightroom to Photoshop, then that image will be opened under the hood by Canera Raw, using the Lightroom settings. As Lightroom uses the same Camera Raw engine, what you describe should not be possible. Can you post screenshots to illustrate this? Use the button to insert them into the post, do not attach them.
