Having a bit of an apparent brain cramp. I spend a lot of time with my camera gear at the local racetrack, sort of the unofficial official photographer. Right now I am working on images from 9 different dates. I have the images I want flagged, and then numbered 5 for Facebook & 4 for Instagram. In the past what I have done was just click on the Motorsports tab then select the necessary filters (flagged and rated equal to or greater than 4). When I come across a picture I want to edit in Topaz I would right click on it and send it to Topaz as a "copy with LR edits". Change what I wanted to in Topaz, apply the changes and then hit save. The image would then appear in a stack in the Motorsports set. For some reason that has all changed...that or I am imagining that was how I did it previously.
This is how I have my collections formed into a set.
Now...well....when I do things as I did before the Topaz edited image does not show up in my Motorsport set. If I am lucky it will show up in the original dated folder, if I am really lucky it will show up in the collections folder. But normally what has been happening is the TIFF that I created does not show up in any of the LR folders. It will be in the Windows folder. More than once I have had both the RAW & TIFF image both just vanish. They are not in the Windows folder. I have done a search of my hard drives...nothing.
Started a thread on the Adobe site, have been told that LR has never head the ability to save an image from an external editor in a set, that it will only save it in the original folder as well as the collection folder.
If I have you confused by the way I worded this please say so...as it makes 0 sense to me.
Perhaps I am imagining the way I used to use an external editor???
