Is there a way to export from LR6 to CS6, Run a CS6 action then Automatically returned the file to LR6?

Thanks

I would explore exporting from Lr via Droplets.

I have not used Droplets with Lr myself.  i am sure there are many on this forum who may be able to recommend some reference material / tutorials.

Thanks John thats a great feature and advice. Ive just tried it  (LR5 and CS5) and the droplet is saved as an .app not .exe in your screen grab and the save and close closes and saves to the destination of the export ( usually an output folder in my case). I guess you specify the export back to the same folder as the source (raw) file is that right?  Thanks , Brandon

It can be done a few ways, Brandon, but I find it easiest to tick the "Add to this Catalog" box in Lightroom's Export dialog. This lets you export the files wherever you want.

Thanks John that works well and makes perfect sense. Thanks also for "John's Big Note". I find it great to leave short hand of round trip processing steps of pictures via Photoshop and plug ins for later reference.
