Yes but why would you, why are you applying sharpening to the JPG?ĭo that to the TIFF then Save in PS then Export in LR to JPG. So if I e xport the TIFF as a JPG from LR (With the option to Add to this Catalog checked in the Export dialog window), then open the JPEG in PS, apply sharpening and save, will that file be connected to the one in the LR catalogue? Unfortunately none of it helps with this mess i've created for myself up to this point, so it looks like i'll just have to manually go through bridge and find the few thousand JPEGs that never got deleted as I went along. It seems like my workflow just needs some adjustment. If you (now or on a future occasion) save further PS changes back to the same TIFF that LR knows about, LR will then reflect those changes unprompted.Įdit: So if you prefer to sharpen (or do anything else) in PS, just Save to the TIFF and that should be enough - as I see another poster has recommended too. Any other images you might save out of PS, have nothing to do with LR. So the first save you do in PS, is the one that gives the raw converted image 'reality': this is what LR also auto-imports, and then monitors thereafter for any subsequent change. For LR too, nothing yet exists which it can, in tis turn, re-import. or from Bridge into PS for that matter, initially this is an image 'in limbo': Whatever PS is doing, does not yet have any file into which the results can be saved. Just to explain why some images saved from PS may appear in LR and others not: when you send a Raw from LR to PS. Still within LR, no different than changing any other settings there. And virtual copies thereof as needed, differently sharpened if you want, again without duplicating anything on disk,Īnd you can apply local adjustments to strengthen or weaken the global sharpening you've chosen, in different areas of the photo. That means the same image can receive general purpose sharpening in LR to optimise the appearance of the content, and then also as needed specific sharpening for different output purposes, without having any separate versions saved besides that one master version inside the Catalog - e.g., that still refers back to the original camera Raw only. Second, in terms of workflow LR offers the option of automatic output sharpening whenever saving out a JPG for a given purpose (or when printing directly) - this is scale aware, output medium aware (gloss print / matte print / on screen) and only affects the output. There is a range of sharpening method from unsharp mask with halo suppression, through to deconvolution, controlled by 'Detail' slider. The global sharpening can be concentrated onto edges more than plain areas, on the fly, with the 'Mask' slider. and then lost all my edits for the images in that folder.įirst, LR sharpening is a lot more sophisticated than you may realise. Is there a way to get the saved JPEGS to show up in LR so that when I delete stuff I can get it all without leaving piles of unloved JPEGs hiding in folders I never see? I made the mistake of trying to synchronize a folder in LR in hopes of getting the JPEGs to show up. and then today, for the first time in a really long time, I opened bridge only to find thousands of old crappy jpegs connected to those old raw and tiff files I deleted in LR. I have an unbelievable amount of old crap, and usually I go through and delete it all through LR. This is only frustrating when it comes to deleting old files. Now, the TIFF files will show up in my LR catalogue but the JPEGs do not. I usually open everything in PS to do any sharpening and major clean up of an image.

I import all images into LR and do my editing there. I'm sure i'm missing a lot of important information on how these programs interact.
