Setting an automatic LR attribute upon transfer back from PS

New Here ,
Sep 01, 2025 Sep 01, 2025

Greetings:
I'm looking for any assistance with the following workflow process. I typically assign a red attribute label to all images imported back to LR after editing in PS (saving as a .psd).  Visually, this helps me identify at a quick glance within LR which images were edited externally. Currently, color labeling is done manually, when the .psd appears within LR, but I often forget.

 

Is there any way to create an auto rule by which this could happen automatically? It could also apply to any other attribute rule: stars, flags, etc.  Many thanks in advance!

As far as I know, there is no automated way to do this.

But if you're using Lightroom Classic, it's very simple to assign these attributes once the image returns from Photoshop, but you have to remember to do it.

Press number keys 1-5 for rating, 6-9 for color labels (6 is red), press P to flag the image.

There are probably similar shortcuts in the cloud version of Lightroom, but I can't say for certain, I've never used it.
