Open photos as layers in Photoshop

Note: You must have Photoshop CS3 10.0.1 or later installed on your computer for this feature to be available.
  1. In the Library module or Develop module, select two or more photos to edit.
  2. Choose Photo > Edit In > Open As Layers In Photoshop.

    Photoshop opens the photos as one layered file.

  3. Edit the image and then choose File > Save in Photoshop.

    The newly saved photo is automatically added to the Lightroom catalog as a TIFF file.

Important: When saving from Photoshop, 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.
