Sending .psd back from LR to Ps automerges layers

[fmei]

Hi,

On my iPad, it seems that sending an edited .psd back to Photosthop from Lightroom merges all layers in about 50% of the cases - is that expected behaviour?

I basically do this:

1. Send photo from Lightroom to Photoshop through "Edit in Photoshop"

2. Edit photo in Photoshop, for instance, I add layers.

3. Send photo back to Lightroom through the dedicated "Send to Lightroom"

4. Send the edited .psd from Lightroom to Photoshop

5. All layers are merged by default --> that does not always happen, I can't figure out why sometimes it merges all layers, and sometimes the layers are still there (none of the photos is uploaded to the photoshop cloud).

Hope above makes sense!

I far as I recall, if you make an edit in Lightroom it will currently flatten the file when it returns to photoshop.

That's a good point! I can't remember if I actually did anything but the file is still called .psd.

I'll try a couple of edits vs. no-edits and report back, thanks!
