Camera Raw after imported fom Lightroom

[philipm10111061]

After importing images into Lightroom from my camera, I organize and make just a couple of adjustments.

I then export to PS.  After opening in PS, I can not get Camera Raw to open.

I am not opening an image from PS or Bridge but it was sent there by LR,, but I would like to use Camera Raw

at this point.

Can this be done or must the image be brought in and opened by PS in order to then use Camera Raw.

Thanks,

Phil

Hi Phil, which version of LR are you using? Lightroom Classic or Lightroom CC?

Hi Brad,

I'm using LR Classic.

Since posting that I have been trying things.

I can export from LR to PS as Smart Objects -then open Camera raw

or

Once loaded, go to Layer - Smart Object -then open camera raw

Bottom line:

If it is a Smart Object, I can Shift-Ctrl-A and open Camera Raw but not

otherwise

If there is another way, I 'd love to hear it.

Thanks for the reply

Phil

Lightroom sends a rendered RGB file to Photoshop. The way this works is that Lightroom passes its settings on to ACR, which then opens the file silently into Photoshop. There is no need for the ACR interface to open in this process, and there's no way to make it.

Like any other RGB file, you can later use the ACR filter on it in Photoshop.

Opening into Photoshop as a Smart Object embeds a copy of the raw file in the Photoshop file. This can be reopened and re-edited in ACR.

Thank you for your concise reply.

I think I've got it.
