Title: Trouble Importing .psd
Post by: drralph on July 21, 2019, 04:46:08 pm

I completed processing an image in Ps as a .psd document, and tried to import it into Lr.  I navigated to the file, and it is grayed out.

I usually send images directly from Lr to Ps, and have no problem.  This image was a stitched pano which required export of the images from Lr for processing in PTGui, and subsequent (hopeful) import.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Photoshop format (PSD)

Photoshop format (PSD) is the standard Photoshop file format. To import and work with a multi-layered PSD file in Lightroom, the file must be saved in Photoshop with the Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility preference turned on. You’ll find the option in the Photoshop file handling preferences. Lightroom imports and saves PSD files with a bit depth of 8 bits or 16 bits per channel. To work with 32-bit images in Lightroom, save your file as TIFF.
