- [Voiceover] If you are using Lightroom CC,
then odds are you probably also have Photoshop,
and if you want to use Photoshop to edit your photos
that you've imported into Lightroom,
the best way is to go directly from Lightroom
into Photoshop, and then bring it back into Lightroom.
Now before you take that step with your images,
you may want to check the external
editing preference settings.
Go into your Lightroom preferences,
and select external editing.
At the top, you have the Adobe Photoshop options.
If you are not sure what to do,
you can leave everything as is,
and you'll be just fine.
These are the recommended settings for Photoshop,
but let's say you use ON1 Photo for example.
ON1 can read PSD files from Photoshop.
It can't read all of the layers,
but you can do things in Photoshop
and then also do them in ON1,
such as mask a photo in Photoshop
and then finish it in ON1, or vice versa.
And some of those settings like masking are interchangeable.
If you want to do that, then you'll need to make sure
that you select PSD as your option.
It's going to give you a little blurb off to the right.
Go ahead and read that and follow
those instructions if needed.
Editing a photo from Lightroom to Photoshop
can be done from either the Lightroom module
or the develop module.
You can go up to photo, edit in,
and then select edit in Adobe Photoshop CC.
The fastest way is just to use the keyboard shortcut,
command or control E,
and I'll go ahead and do that right now.
I'll go ahead and make a few adjustments to this image.
And when I'm finished, I'll go ahead and save the file
by using the keyboard shortcut, command or control S.
And when I'm finished, I just close the file.
I'll go ahead and quit Photoshop as well.
I'm going to jump into grid view.
And now I have both of those images side by side.
The Photoshop image is on the left,
and the original raw file is on the right.
Let's say that I want to make
some more edits to this in Photoshop.
I'll do that same keyboard shortcut, command or control E.
The top option is to edit a copy of this photo
with Lightroom adjustments.
Now I didn't make any adjustments to the image,
but if I had, then maybe I wanted to start over from scratch
with that file inside of Photoshop.
Maybe I cropped the photo or I did some
transform edits to it.
Whatever the case is, I can choose this option
if I just want to create basically a brand new file
as a copy with whatever settings I've applied
inside of Lightroom.
Edit a copy is just taking the original photo
and making another copy of it,
and then I can just edit that from inside of Photoshop,
and I'll see those existing adjustments that I made
with the original file.
And the last option is to edit the original.
This will just open up that same file
that we saw inside of Photoshop.
I'm going to cancel that though because I'm going to go
into the develop module and make some changes
because I think it'll be a little bit more obvious
what happens when I choose one of those options
to edit the photo.
I'll go into split toning.
And I'll just make a quick and dirty split toning.
And I'm also going to add a vignette.
So if I toggle this on and off,
I can see the file that I edited in Photoshop
and then this has the vignette and the split toning effect
that I applied inside of the develop module.
I'll select command or control E,
and I get those options once again.
Because I've made adjustments, then I could choose
the top option of edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments,
but what if I want to make adjustments to the original edits
that I created inside of Photoshop?
If I choose edit original and click edit,
the photo opens up inside Photoshop,
but I'm not seeing any of those adjustments
that I made in Lightroom.
I'm going to make another edit to this
so we can see some obvious changes in Lightroom
once I save it and bring it back in there.
I'll change it to black and white,
and I'm going to save the file.
I don't need to close the file in order
to see the changes in Lightroom as long as I save it.
So if I go back into Lightroom,
I can see that I now have a desaturated version
of that photo, but the split toning and vignette adjustments
that I made in the develop module are still there.
