Elements 10 into Lightroom 4

[FastGlass]

I try and do all my post work in lightroom and if I need to eliminate something within a photo I export into Elements and do the adjustments I need. My question is can I then send the file back to Lightroom with all the adjustments done in Elements? I've tried and can't find a way.

Are you right clicking the photo and sending it to elements via the 'edit in' function? (also under Photo menu) I know for a raw file, doing this creates a duplicate in tiff format and then opens then tiff in Elements. You do your thing and save it and the edited tiff copy will be in Lightroom waiting for you. I'm not sure how it works on a jpg.

If you did not do it that way, then you need to import the file back into Lightroom. If you saved it in the same folder with the original then I think you can just rt click and resync the folder and it will show up.

As Nick said, if you do a right-click on the image in either the Library or Develop module and choose Edit In -> Photoshop Elements 10 it will export the image as a Tiff (or PSD file if you prefer, you can change it in preferences). It will open it in PSE10 and you can do what you want, save your work, and exit. When you go to save it should default the location to the same place as the original, but check anyway. When you're done, the new Tiff file should display in the Library next to the original RAW file (there's a preference option to automatically stack them as well - at least there is in LR5). You can now make further LR adjustments to the Tiff/PSD file, but they will be independent of the original RAW file. You cannot stack the PSE adjustments with the original LR adjustments to the RAW file - you have to create a new image file to manipulate (this is the same with regular Photoshop as well).
