How do I switch back to LR3 from PSE9, managed to go from LR to PSE9 but cant work out how to go back apart from save then reopen in LR, is there a shortcut ?

Thanks

Hello, Paul. Using LR 3 and CS5 for me, I can create a virtual copy of my image in LR together with my edits and then I right-click the image to get further editing options. I select EDIT IN > Photoshop CS5. Upon clicking LR will export the image (together with the edit I have made so far) to CS5. After editing, I press SAVE in CS5. Now, when I open up LR 3 again (actually it is always open since I did not close the program) I can see my virtual copy of the image together with the further editing that I have done to in CS5. Maybe, that can also do the trick between LR and PSE9 since they are both Adobe Products. I am just not so sure how to they do their handshake protocol when it comes to exporting and importing images back and forth. Hope this helps.

Thanks Jiro, I have overcome the problem now however i am on to my next one, Have done all the P&P that I want through LR and PSE9 but I cant seem to upload the file to any photo sharing site now ? I know its coming something to do with the type of file but I just dont know how to overcome it ?

Check whether your file is still in 16-bit tiff. Most photo uploading site only accepts jpeg so you have to convert your file from 16-bit to 8-bit and in jpeg mode.

Hi Paul,

Have a read of this thread;

HELP THREAD: How can I post images here?

and in particular, post 6 and follow the process from "Here is a recommended method:" for a good way to downsize, sharpen and post files at a good quality.

Cheers,
