Edit across LR and PS, but don´t save them as TIFF

[Lukas Mller]

Hello Community,

If i open a Picture via LR in PS and edit it, i save it only whit "Save" to export it back to LR, right?

But how I change the setting, so it exports the picture not as a TIFF, but as a JPG?

Please help me 😔😟

Thanks in advance!

First, you must use the "Edit in Photoshop" command for this round trip to work (IOW, LR to PS> saved back to LR). 

What is saved and how is all configured in your preferences. Found in LRs preferences>External Editor. 

Your options are TIFF, PSD or JPEG.

Hey, thanks dir the fast reply! These are the Lightroom Classic settings right? But does this setting also exist in the other Lightroom?

I'm sorry, I don't understand your question.

I think you are talking about Lightroom classic. I use Lightroom without the "Classic".

How is it there? Can I find this setting in the Lightroom I'm using?

In Lightroom Classic I found the setting (see picture), but I can't find it in the other Lightroom.

You can't set this in Lightroom desktop ("the other Lightroom"). Lightroom desktop will always use TIFF.

Hmm... Isn't there another way so that the images are not saved as TIFF?

Well, of course you are free to use 'Save as' or 'Export as', but then you have to manually import this image again into Lightroom if you want to have it in Lightroom. By the way: saving as JPEG is not an option in Lightroom Classic either, unless you add Photoshop as secondary editor too.
