How to see original photo after exporting to photoshop

Hello,
When making adjustments to the RAW file in Lightroom I know you can use the "\" key to see the before image. However, when I export to photoshop it saves a second image back into Lightroom.
When looking at this new image is there a way to flip back and forth with the original RAW??
Thanks
Scott

No, that isn't possible because the new image is a completely separate file. But there's nothing preventing you from using the arrow keys in Lightroom to move back and forth between the two images. Or, you can highlight the two images and press the letter C to compare the two images side-by-side.

  • Missing original filename after export to photoshop

    Hi
    using the export function to edit a file in photoshop (german "bearbeiten in Photoshop") generates a new file, but without the original filename.
    Example:
    Export "my picture 234.nef" as a tiff to photoshop generates a file called "-bearbeitet_1.tif" (german "bearbeitet" = "edited") . "my picture 234" is gone.
    I tried to manipulate a token in "Lightroom 2 Preferences.agprefs" which looks odd, but afterwords lightroom 2 would not start anymore saying something like i have a bad lightroom catalog.
    Any thoughts?
    Cheers, dietmar

    In LR "Preferences, External Editing", how is the file naming template at the bottom of the dialog set up? This determines how the edited files are named. Sounds like yours might be set to something that doesn't include the original filename.

  • How long can you revert back to the original photo after cropping?

    Is there any time limit for how long can you revert back to the original photo after cropping? Are you always able to revert back?
    Thanks.

    DAM = "Digital Asset Manager", a fancy name for a filing system.
    iPhoto keeps the original and makes one (usually much smaller) copy based on your edits. It is non-destructive in that if you crop, and later change the color, iPhoto will go back to the original and apply the corrections to get the new image, it will not simply modify the preview.
    If you want a high quality copy of the image, use the export function which allows you to specify the size and compression.

    Use File >> Save As
    Choose a different file name so as not to overwrite the original and don't save any changes when closing the original.

    Backup has nothing to do with viewing your iPhone photos on your computer.

  • Cant edit photos after exporting

    Hello all. Relatively new to Lightroom here so Im not sure if this is a dumb question or not.
    I imported about 220 photos and worked on just about 20 to 25 of them. I then selected those 25 from my collection and exported them to a folder on my PC so I could then import them into Picasa.
    After doing that, I returned to Lightroom to edit more from that collection but could no longer do so. I couldnt make any changes to the ones I previously worked on, but more importantly, I couldnt make any changes to any of the ones I hadnt even touched yet. When you export photos from a folder, does Lightroom automatically prohibit you from changing anything else? It seems the only way I can bypass this problem is just to delete the folder and re-import the photos from my camera again, creating a new folder.
    Am I missing something? How can I go back and edit photos after exporting? Can it be done?
    Thanks!

    Hi Judy
    On the bottom left of the left tool bar there are two buttons. Import and Export. I exported my photos using the Export button. When you do that, the screen that comes up prompts you to set up an export location on your C drive. So I exported the photos to a folder I set up.
    I did not set up a catalogue or export any catalogue.
    I seriously doubt that Picasa had any effect on the folders in Lightroom. The two software application are totally separate. You dont directly transfer photos from LR to Picasa. You need to export from LR first to a location on your PC then Import from that file on your PC into LR. So I dont see how Picasa could effect the photos that are in LR.

  • How do I see a photo full screen in photoshop elements app?

    How do I see a photo full screen in photoshop elements app?  From what I can tell, I can't see a photo full screen in iphoto. I need full screen!

    A file with a .PSA extension is most probably a catalog file from an older version of Elements (up to PSE5). To be able to use it with a newer version (including PSE12), you'll have to convert the catalog to the new format. In the organizer, open the 'File' menu, select the catalog manager (shift Ctrl C) and click the convert button, browse to the .psa file. Your catalog will be converted to the new format.

  • Edited photos in iOS show original photo after import or in iPhoto for MAC

    If I edit a photo using the Photos app (or one the filter integrated now with Photos app) and then import that photo to my Mac (both using iphoto or import) or PC (both using import or with cloud photo integration), and sometimes if i try to view the photo using another iOS app, the photo display the original, unedited version.
    the only way seems to duplicate the picture or to send it by mail.
    but when you have hundreds of pics, that is not a solution any more..
    and most of all i don't even want to import both the original and the edited version.
    i found this issue in an apple support page: below the link..
    but that page doesn't offer a solution one most of all it says that iphoto shouldn't have the issue...
    can you help me?
    thanks
    iOS: Edited photos show original photo after import or in other apps

    i verified..
    well, unfortunately these solutions are both not optimal..
    Shared Album:
    - you lose all the other informations (like location, date, etc..)
    - you lose quality
    - but at least is fast
    Sent by mail:
    - it keep full resolution
    - you still lose all other informations..
    - it is ok for a picture but not good for several..

    How can I edit photos in iPhoto in Photoshop Elements?  I select PE in iPhoto preferences but they stay in iPhoto for editing.

    Here's something you can try with a copy of your current library.
    1 - go to iPhoto's Events preference pane and set the auto split option to 1 day per even.
    2 - go the the Events mode, select all Events.
    3 - go to the Events menu  and and select Autosplit Selected Events.
    which will give you an event for each day.
    4 - again select all events (although it might be better do to fewer at a time) and export them to your desired destination via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export  menu option with the following settings:
    The workflow above will produce a folder for each days photos with the date as the folder's title.

  • How do we send photos by email in Photoshop Elements 13?

    How do we send photos by email in Photoshop Elements 13?

    Hi Gordon,
    It is not a good idea to post live email addresses in replies as this is a public forum and somebody might harvest the addresses for scamming.
    For clarification, I will go through the preferences that you should have set up.
    Go to Edit -> Preferences - Email
    Click on the New button
    Give it a Profile Name like MyGmail, select Gmail from the drop down list of service providers and then click on OK
    Enter your Email address - this is the account to send the photos from not who you are sending them to. The address should be in the format [email protected]
    Enter your name
    Enter the password for the email account you gave in 4 above
    Click on Validate - It should come back and say credentials validated successfully - if not check your settings.
    Click on OK and close the preferences.
    Now try sending a photo.

  • How to see all photos as thumbnails

    How do I view my photos as thumbnails in Preview or anywhere else, at the moment I can see some as thumbnails but most as JPEG generic icons.
    thanks,
    Michael (10.3.9)

    It must still be iPhoto v2 on your PMG4, horrendously unstable. But you should still never lose photos, iPhoto will never change or delete original photos unless you tell it to.
    It may also help if you set the iPhoto preference NOT to copy the photos to the photo library when importing into iPhoto. This means you'll need a directory structure that you can keep your photos in, somewhere that's easy to backup.
    Then import these into iPhoto, all that gets created in your iPhoto Library (in your Home folder) is the thumbnails and any photos edited in iPhoto. Again, the originals are untouched if you edit in iPhoto.
    However, forget iPhoto v2 altogether if you have pictures in the thousands - I've been digital since 1996 so I had too many for my first version.
