Hi Carlos
There are couple of apporaches you can use.
Firstly there is the approach already mentioned:-
Do all your global edits in Lightroom then ctrl-shift-e to edit the file in Photoshop. You can then do your local edits such as adding local contrast (I use a high pass contrast techinque from Paul Caponigro
http://www.johnpaulcaponigro.com/lib/downl...ssContrast.pdf) which is not achievable currenlty in Lightroom.
I also do my sharpening in PS (I use Photokit sharpener but even Unsharp Mask or Creative Sharpen is much more powerfull than Lightrooms currenly weak effort). Noise reduction may be another reason as this is also a bit weak in LR.
I then click save when I am done (Just save
NOT save as as this will save another copy and it will not go back into Lighrtroom)
I now have a second copy in Lightroom (with an edit tag) with my PS settings. Normally I carry out this operation from the folder the files are in as this allows me to use the stack feature (you cannot stack if you are doing your edits from a collection).
If I then want to do a print I may then do another round trip into Photoshop to softproof and do my final sharpening and resizing. The end result is that I will have three files - the original, a master and a proof ready to print. I may then move the original and master to a collection and the print to s ub collection called prints under the main collection so that I can easily identify which are master and proofed files (proofs may not be optimum on screen as they have been adjusted for printing so for slildeshows and web you would want to use the master file)
Another techinque you can use is the 'Watched Folder' techinque
http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/...6DBF8A4F89.htmlI tend to have a folder on my desktop called 'Lightroom Import' and anything I drag into this folder will get imported into a watched folder in Lightroom. I can then move these around or add them to collections ect. This can be useful if you are working in another application other than Photoshop. Currently you can only have one watched folder I think, but hopefully in the future you will be able to click on any of your exisiting folders and set them as watched)
The final techinque involves using droplets and exaple of hot to set this up is below. This is for Photokit Sharpener but you could apply it to any action in PS.
