Hi guys,

I am trying to use and practice a bit more with my phone camera, using the camera app rather than lightroom mobile.
At the moment I take the images in jpeg as the raw format the images do not show in my pc screen saver.

So at the moment I down load the images for google photos, save then in a folder, import them into Lightrooom, make any adjustments in Lightroom.

Once I have made those adjustments, I would like to overwrite the original so that the adjusted version shows in my screen saver.
At the moment the way I am doing it, Lightroom will not overwrite as it is the original image.

Does anyone know of a way round that, as I am trying to avoid have two images and the file space.
I hope that makes sense :)
cheers Alex

I'd take a slightly different route Alex. I'd shoot in raw so you have full editing flexibility, and then just export a low resolution JPEG of the finished photo to a folder that you use for your screensaver. It wouldn't be a lot more space, and the screensaver folder could be thrown away at any time as it's just temporary for a specific purpose.

Hi cheers for getting back to me, I thought that might be the way I have to.
Long story short, I have my screen saver running direct from my image folder, windows/screen saver used to display the raw images form my Canon 550D, now I use a 77D which do not display along with my phone images. The old raw images that did display, were close enough without any adjustment to show for the screen saver
As you say, I need to create a new screen saver folder, I am being a bit lazy :) as that means going back through all my old images and exporting them.
Thanks for getting back to me thou, cheers alex
