The goal here was to see if I could save a series of actions and brush work for some skin retouching and strayhair removal for a file, thus if I changed the images render I would not have to redo all the work again but play the Action. Example;
Lightroom;
IMG9023 is a RAW DNG (a studio portrait). I choose to render it Mono with a Preset 'Agfa Scala 200'. I Edit In>PS and head off to PS for the indepth skin retouching whilst recording the actions and brush strokes (I name the action 'IMG9023')
I hand the client the image, they are happy but want to also see a colour version. It is not possible to revert mono back to colour without having to do the skin retouching all over again, so I find the original IMG9023 file, render colour now (Agfa Optima 200), Edit In>PS and run the action 'IMG9023' (thus saving the extensive retouch work again).
This is preferable workflow because Presets and 3dLUTs prefer to work with camera RAW files than PS edited Tiff files.
My testing thus far is showing the Action Playback to not hold for different brush sizes or hardness. Is this the limit of this feature or have I failed to do something that needs ticked somewhere? I should note my brush size and hardness changes were done via Alt+Right Click Mouse and panning mouse up/down/left/right. Perhaps actually using the menu value stores the changes?
TIA
