Hi everybody, I’ve got two questions regarding Lightroom to Photoshop interactivity. I’m working on LR 3.4, PSCS5 and ACR 6.4, Mac.
1) I always used to tell people when they send a raw photo from Lightroom over to Photoshop, to use Save rather than Save as when they’re done editing in PS because if they saved under a different name in Photoshop with the Save As command, Lightroom would not find their picture and they’d have to synchronize the folder, whereas if they used the save command the photo would automatically appear in the Lightroom folder.
I was trying to make that point during a demo today, expressly saving the file under a different filename (albeit in the same folder) in Lightroom and much to my surprise, the file showed up in the LR catalog.
Q: This is a good thing obviously, but does anyone know in which version of LR this changed?
2) When you have a TIFF (or any non-raw file) in LR, and you do edits to that in LR, say a square crop, and choose to send that file over to PS? you have the option of editing a copy with LR adjustments, editing a copy or editing the original file.
When you choose ’edit original’, the original file will show up in PS, without any LR edits, but these used to be applied back to your TIFF once you were done editing and had saved the file in PS.
Q: I tried this out today and found that my LR edits were not reapplied automatically. They were in the history, but I had to manually click that history step to apply them again. Would this be intended behaviour or a bug? Anyone else noticed this?
Thanks!
Piet
