Open photos in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements
You can
perform additional editing to your photos using Photoshop or Photoshop
Elements from within Lightroom. You must have either Photoshop or Photoshop
Elements installed on your computer for this feature to be available.
- In the Library module or Develop module, select
the photo you want to edit. Then, choose Photo > Edit
In Adobe Photoshop or Edit In Adobe Photoshop Elements.
If you’re opening a camera raw or DNG file in Photoshop CS3
(10.0.1) or later, it opens directly.
- (JPEG, TIFF, and PSD only) In the Edit Photo dialog box,
select one of the following:
- Edit A Copy With Lightroom
Adjustments
- Applies any Lightroom adjustments you’ve made to a copy
of the file and sends that file to Photoshop or Photoshop Elements
for editing.
- Edit A Copy
- Edits a copy of the original file without Lightroom adjustments.
- Edit Original
- Edits the original file without Lightroom adjustments.
Note: Select Stack With Original to stack the edited
photo with the original.
- (JPEG, TIFF, and PSD only) Click Edit.
If you edit a copy of the photo, Lightroom automatically
adds the copy, with -Edit appended to the filename, to the catalog
as you open it in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.
- Edit the photo as desired in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.
- Choose File > Save in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.
Edited camera raw and DNG files are automatically
added to the Lightroom catalog with -Edit appended to the filename.
The file format is either TIFF or PSD, depending on what is specified
in External Editing preferences.
JPEG, TIFF, and PSD files
edited as copies with adjustments are also saved according to the
format specified in External Editing preferences.
Note: When
saving changes to JPEG, TIFF, and PSD images in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements,
make sure the filename and format are the same as the copy or the
original in Lightroom if you want the photo to be updated in the
catalog.
- Switch to Lightroom to see the edited photo in the catalog.
Important: When saving from Photoshop
or Photoshop Elements, be sure to turn on the Maximize
Compatibility option so that Lightroom can read the images. Photoshop CS3
and later automatically save PSD files from Lightroom with maximum
compatibility.
