Very useful tutorial for saving time and effort in creating composites. Also useful info for passing from Ps to LrC again and saving to PC

[pbziegler]

Thanks for showing this. No longer bringing images into PS as smart objects and then having to put them into layers. Now part of my workflow

[oldtvnut]

This is great. I know I've had projects in the past that would have been easier to adjust just the way I wanted this way.

[gladysperrier]

Very useful feature. Thanks for sharing.

[ewallperschwaznyk]

I do this kind of stuff all the time. Excellent tutorial!

This is great thnx for sharing I picked up something new about refining the hair and decontaminating the colors, thanks for sharing! 😊

[chrisburnard]

Anybody know why when I ask an image in Lightroom to open in Photoshop, photoshop doesn’t open. The image is loaded in but I have to click on the Photoshop icon in the bar on my Mac?

Your lightroom tutorials are very informative, useful, and helpful. I would also suggest to you for premiere rush tutorial which comes free with Adobe PS/lightroom plan. It has an unexplored potential and is easy to learn for the working still image photographers, giving the ability for video editing. There are no comprehensive tutorials on it as you have done on the lightroom. Adobe Premiere Rush needs a much clearer idea and detailed series of tutorials on YouTube.

Thank you! Now the problem that I have and I can’t find any solution to is when I’m done editing in photoshop and I want to quit or close photoshop the window pops us asking me save, don’t save, cancel. When I click on save photoshop opens up another window asking me where to safe and what format. I tried many variations and every time I save it the photo doesn’t go back to Lightroom. Not sure what am I missing here..

I found it, couldn't see how it would be useful for me at the time.

Thanks Anthony could you do the exact same video but use the new BETA P.S. tools ?

[vivid-efx]

My ability to open as layers in PS Beta was working and is no longer. I now get "The files could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop (Beta) could not be launched." seems like several others are having the same issue. If you or your followers have had the same a fixed, it sure would be helpful and make for a good tutorial. I get a lot from your tutorials, thanks for posting them

Great video. I use Bridge abn ACR. Will this work with them also? Would this process work with replacing a sky? Say you have a bird or a plane with a bald sky could you pick a sky photo then place the subject in it?

Thanks,

This is no longer available in lightroom in 2024.. what on earth? Have I missed something?
1) there is no longer 'Edit in' and then a submenu.. all I get is 'Edit in Photoshop' and it only lets me edit one photo at a time. The moment I select two photos and cmd+click .. the 'edit in photoshop' option is grey'd out! Does this not work if I'm working 'locally'? Please help 🙏🏽
