USING PHOTOSHOP LIGHTROOM 2 132 Editing in other applications Edit A Copy Edits a copy of the original file without Lightroom adjustments. Edit Original Edits the original file without Lightroom adjustments. Note: Select Stack With Original to stack the edited photo with the original. 3 (JPEG, TIFF, and PSD only) Click Edit. If you edit a copy of the photo, Lightroom automatically adds the copy, with -Edit appended to the filename, to the catalog as you open it in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. 4 Edit the photo as desired in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. 5 Choose File > Save in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. Edited camera raw and DNG files are automatically added to the Lightroom catalog with -Edit appended to the filename. The file format is either TIFF or PSD, depending on what is specified in External Editing preferences. JPEG, TIFF, and PSD files edited as copies with adjustments are also saved according to the format specified in External Editing preferences. Note: When saving changes to JPEG, TIFF, and PSD images in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, make sure the filename and format are the same as the copy or the original in Lightroom if you want the photo to be updated in the catalog. 6 Switch to Lightroom to see the edited photo in the catalog. Important: When saving from Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, be sure to turn on the Maximize Compatibility option so that Lightroom can read the images. Photoshop CS3 and later automatically save PSD files from Lightroom with maximum compatibility. For a video about editing photos in Lightroom and Photoshop CS3, see www.adobe.com/go/lrvid2211_lrm. For a video about editing photos in Lightroom and Photoshop CS4, see www.adobe.com/go/lrvid4121_ps. More Help topics "Edit photos in Photoshop" on page 133 Edit in other applications 1 In the Library module or Develop module, select the photos you want to edit and then do one of the following: • Choose Photo > Edit In > Edit In [Name of Application]. • If you have created an external editor preset, choose Photo > Edit In > Edit In [Name of Preset].
