Layers?

[Jim Miller]

When we are in LR2 and Edit in PSCS4 and do layered edits I thought that a save back as a TIFF to LR2 would retain layers. I have Max compatibility set.

The file gets properly saved to the LR2 catalog and file structure yet when I reopen the TIFF in CS4 the layers are gone and the file appears to have been flattened on save.

What did I do wrong?

How are you reopening the TIFF in CS4 in the last part. From LR or from the HD?

All opening is from LR. We're trying to avoid dribbling TIFFs (no longer PSDs) and other such around the PC by doing as much from LR as possible. In fact we use LR on the second monitor as the "file manager" for PS as we are constantly going back and forth between PS and 44k images in LR.

When you're opening the TIFF/PSD, are you saying 'open original' (should retain layers) or 'open copy with LR adjustments' (should flatten to apply new LR settings)? And what happens if you open that TIFF/PSD directly from Windows Explorer instead?

All good now. Cockpit errors. Open with LR adjustments was one of them.
