Saving in PS deletes Lightroom adjustments on that PSD-file

Hi there 🙂

As the title says... to elaborate, let me describe what i do:

1. In Lightroom, select a RAW file and open it in PS

2. Process in PS, save (a new file is created, a PSD)

3. Make lightroom adjustments to that PSD

4. Find that i need more pixel-level processing to that file, open that original PSD in PS (no new file created)

5. Process in PS, save file (no new file created)

6. Lightroom adjustments from Point 3 are gone!

Can anybody help me please? Lots of lost work already -.-

Please keep in mind that my problem could be confused with the one from this thread (Keeping LR Adjustments when saving from photoshop ) but is actually something different.

Thank you!

Micha

Did restart, no change.

Did reset LR prefs, no change.

Using Win7, too.


Make sure you've unchecked the LR option Catalog Settings > Metadata > Include Develop Settings In Metadata Inside JPEG, TIFF, PNG, And PSD Files.

In my configuration, when that option is unchecked, LR Develop settings survive the round trip from LR to PS via Edit In > Edit Original.  When that option is checked, the previous Develop settings are discarded.

It's not clear whether this is the intended behavior or a bug, but it's how it currently behaves.

LR CC 2015.10.1 / PS 2015.5.2 / OS 10.12.5

How are you opening the PSD file that you did LR adjustments on? From inside LR using the Edit In > PS option or some other way.

If from within LR you should get a Dialog box asking, Open with LR adjustments, Open a Copy or Open original.

If you select Open original you won't get whatever LR edits you did to that PSD. You have to select open with LR Adjustments to have the LR edits carry over and then create another new PSD file in PS.

Hey, thank you for your answer!

Yes opening from within LR.

However, you describe how i can choose to have the adjustments get baked into a new PSD file. That's not what i meant.

I show you the problem in this video. At 2:15 there's a boring part where it takes forever to save the file, you can skip that bit and jump to 3:24 (sorry i couldn't edit it out).

Hope this shows the problem more clearly.

I notice you are using PS 2015.5 and not the most current version 2017.1.1.

What version of LR are you currently using. The newest is 2015.10.1.

I just tried what you describe and get all the newer LR edits included with the base PSD file after making changes in PS from the original.

I think it has to do with the versions of LR and PS you are using. There was a bug in one or the other that caused this. IIRC you can also use the History to restore the LR edits by selecting the last, top most, history entry.
