P: Support cataloging PSB files

Lightroom should catalog psb files, just as it does psd files. I have many psb files that are not over the 65,000 pixels per side or 512 megapixel limits, but are larger than the 4GB limit on psd files, and it would be nice to see them in Lightroom.

You might be able to get by using TIFFs.  PSDs have a maximum size of 2 GB, while TIFFs can go to 4 GB.   Once you go over 4 GBs, you need to use PSBs.

This would be my request too. I've just been working on a poster which comprises several high quality images of people to appear as if they were all present for one photo. I was working in PSD and it just outgrew the filesize limit and became PSB. Suddenly I have to go outside of Lightroom just to open the file because it's not listed... but it's still part of the Lightroom workflow for me.

What a shame they doesn't support their own format..!

With the bigger sized photos in MegaPixels (as the Sony a7R II that I use), all my non-destructive files are weighting more than 4 GB. They put infront of the line that non-destructive function bu aren't able to provide compatibility in between their own softwares -_-

I'm then stuck with these files only managed in the Finder and can lose track of them..

Am thinking about going with another solution really..

Yes, even that limited functionality would be enormously helpful.

No you are not confused... we are just confused why Adobe has not addressed this...
