In the case of a raw file, the edited version will be saved by default as a tiff file. The edited version has the same file name as the original but with -edit added to it. The edited version of the file is stored in the same folder as the original. When you return to Lightroom, if you were editing a raw file or if you chose to Edit a Copy, you will find your original file and the edited version in place in the Lightroom catalog. This is typically the step where new Lightroom users fall foul of the process and get understandably frustrated. To get the image back into Lightroom you have to find it and then import it into the catalog. If you rename an image by choosing File > Save As then the link between the image in Lightroom and Photoshop won’t be retained and the edited saved version won’t appear in Lightroom catalog. The one thing you should avoid when saving a photo that you have taken from Lightroom to Photoshop is to rename it when you save it. When you’ve finished editing the image in Photoshop, click File > Save to save the image. This is exactly what happens if you are working with a raw image – you don’t see the dialog – and the image is sent direct to Photoshop with the Lightroom adjustments in place.Įdit Original ignores any changes that you have made in Lightroom and sends the unedited original image to Photoshop.Įdit a Copy sends the image direct to Photoshop ignoring any changes you’ve made to the image in Lightroom but at the same time it creates a copy of the image so you won’t be editing your original.
