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 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 choose to 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.
Lightroom adds the newly saved photo to the catalog.
Raw photos are added as TIFF files; JPEG, TIFF, and PSD photos are
added in their original format.
Note: If the Save As dialog box
appears, make sure the filename and format are the same as the JPEG,
TIFF, or PSD copy to automatically add the newly saved photo to the
Lightroom 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.
