    Edit in Photoshop vs Export to Photoshop

    Matthew A Kraus Community Member
      After my initial work in LR, I want to make changes using PS. After these changes, I want to rename the file _Master. What are the pros and cons of sending the file to PS using "edit in PS' vs using the "export" option? Thanks.

          Edit in Photoshop makes a copy (if you want to apply LR edits), opens the file for you to work on then stores that within the database. Edit is appended to the original file name (although you're free to use the Rename command within LR to name it what you wish) That's how I'd do all this since you now have this new file as part of your library. Export does what it says. It's now outside of LR so to speak.
