[QUOTE="Lawrence, post: 389564, member: 16844"] I found the answer to my question. I have just completed the Lynda.com LR course (highly recommend as videos are short and sweet and easy enough for ME to understand) explain it all. Essentially I have been flattening the image in PS once I have made my adjustments and then saving the file. I now understand that this is now saved in the backroom by LR and then when PS is closed Lr will open with the adjusted and saved PS image. What I should be doing is saving without "Flattening" image. This saves the file exactly as before except keeps any adjustment layers available for any potential adjustments I may want to make later. The procedure is therefore: Complete adjustments > save image without flattening > close photoshop The image will open with the adjustments in LR. If I want to make more adjustments in PS at a later date I simply open the edited image in Light Room select "Photo" > Edit in Photoshop CC and (this is the important part) you then get 3 options to open the image with. Select the bottom one "edit original" which will open the original PS image with the layers. Make any adjustments and reserve without flattening. Hope that helps someone. I do recommend Lynda.com as there tutorials are simple. [/QUOTE]
