view edits

I’m new to Photoshop and many functions were not working well (assumed it was me).  Finally, I was trying to use Liquify with no success.  There was a suggestion of returning to PS 22.3 and adjusting the graphic processor settings.  I did this and Liquify is good.  New problem-I made various simple edits to a photo (gradient, some masking) and minimal changes appear in PS.  I saved the photo to LR and it’s radically different, about how I would have expected the photo to look in PS.  I’m using a Windows 10 computer if that matters.  Is there some way to get the PS edits to show properly in PS? 

TIA
