Edit A Copy With Lightroom Adjustments
When sending a copy to the external editor, the newly created file is automatically added to the library.
3 Click Edit.
After making edits in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, you will be prompted to save any changes to the photo sent
from Lightroom. Be sure not to do a Save As and rename the photo because the newly-created photo will not be
automatically added to the library.
Important: When saving from Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, be sure to turn on the Maximize Compatibility option
so that images can be read by Lightroom. Photoshop CS2 automatically saves PSD files from Lightroom with maximum
compatibility.
