Thanks for the responses.LrC Overwrites the file for me. If the file you are trying to Overwrite is already in the catalog LrC will not let you Overwrite it.
I have not ever deliberately overwritten a file already in my catalog with a new file, so I cannot say if there is a quicker way than deleting the existing file first, but I would like to ask if there is a reason why you want to this? Just want to make sure there is not another way to approach what you are trying to accomplish without replacing a cataloged file.Thanks for the responses.
Your answer explains the reason. I am trying to overwrite a file that is in the LR catalog. Is there a quick way around this other than removing the pre-existing file ?
Thankyou

Ray,HI
Thanks for asking.
After I am done processing a photo with PS/LR, that is in LR catalog, I save it as a PSD file. I also save a copy as a JPEG file in a separate folder that is just for JPEG's. All of which is included in LR catalog. Sometimes at a later time I may decide to edit further the PSD file in LR/PS. When I am done editing the PSD file, I save it back in the same folder that the PSD file was in but also want to update/replace the corresponding JPEG file with the new edits, without changing the name. I try to do that by exporting the file from LR, as a JPEG, so that it is included in the LR catalog . However as stated that can not be done, unless I first delete the old JPEG file
Hope this answers your question
Thanks

I am a bit unclear why you are also saving your exported jpeg files in LR when the PSD files should already display the changes in LR. What is the reason that you are importing these jpeg files back into LR?HI

Ray, what are you trying to do? You are talking about exporting a jpeg from a raw file that has been imported to LR and is linked in the catalog, right? Raws are our negatives, and we can edit them a hundred times and nothing on the raw file changes (you know this but I'm just saying it).Hello
Trying to export to a specific folder and there is a pre-existing file (same name) I select "overwrite " but it does not overwrite.
Thanks for your help
