photos wont save back to lr after a few saves from pscc

[belcamp george]

Photoshop CC appears to have a limit on how many times you can save directly back to Lightroom CC. I have a PC with the latest versions of both. After I have saved back and forth from Photoshop it will not let me save directly to light room, I have to re import it back into LR. This is annoying. Why does Photoshop simply "get tired" of going back into Lightroom?

Hi belcampgeorge,

Please take a look at this article 'Edit In Photoshop' command missing and try the steps mentioned. Let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

There is no limit.

But Lightroom needs to be open when you save out from Photoshop, otherwise the script that tracks the location won't be running, and Lightroom won't know about the save.

You also need to have "maximize compatibility" checked in Photoshop. Lightroom can't work with layers, but max compatibility includes a merged composite layer that Lightroom can read.

And of course, nothing is ever saved "to" Lightroom. The Lightroom catalog is just a pointer to wherever the file is physically located on disk.

I can easily sent a photo from Lightroom to Photoshop. I can easily send it

back from PS to LR the first time. Then, if I have to return the photo to

PS for a few tweaks, and hit save, it does not return to LR. I then have to

re-import it into LR as a new photo. This is the problem that I need

solved. In other words if you don't get it right in PS the first time, you

have to treat it as a new photo and import into LR. that is why it looks

like there is a limit to haw many times you can EASILY switch back and

forth from LR TO PS. Any explanation would be appreciated!
