to save the image to an alternative folder location without adding it to the catalog and, if you wish, save using a different file format or different save settings. You can open a raw file in Photoshop to see what it looks like and decide whether to save it or not. Basically, the Edit in Photoshop command provides you with a means to open raw catalog images in Photoshop without generating new edit copy versions of the master each time you do so. The edited image is then saved to the same folder as the original master and added to the catalog. An opened image will display the same raw file extension as the master (e.g., NEF, CR2, or DNG) and it is only when you choose File Save in Photoshop that the file format and other settings that have been configured in the External Editing preferences come into play.

In Figure 7.1, ProPhoto RGB is selected as the color space, with a bit depth of 16 bits per channel, saving to the TIFF file format using ZIP compression. So with this in mind, you should use the Edit in Adobe Photoshop section (at the top) to establish what those default file editing settings should be when opening a raw image. It is important to note here that the External Editing preferences are the only place where you can establish the file format settings for opening images in this way. If you use this method to open a raw image, it directly renders a pixel version of the master catalog image without showing an interim Edit Photo options dialog. This lets you open raw photos from the Lightroom catalog directly into whatever is the most current version of Photoshop, without adding an edit copy version of the master to the catalog (the same also applies when you choose one of the extended editing options such as Merge to HDR).
The main Edit in Adobe Photoshop command can be found in the Photo Edit in menu ( or ). You can use the Edit in options to open and edit multiple photo selections, as well as single images. There are essentially two ways you can externally edit a Lightroom catalog image. The External Editing settings allow you to establish the file format, color space, bit depth, and where applicable, the compression settings that are used whenever you ask Lightroom to open a catalog image in an external pixel editing program. The Edit in Photoshop optionsīefore you do anything else, you’ll first need to go to the Lightroom preferences and configure the External Editing preferences ( Figure 7.1). For example, if the Photoshop/Bridge Camera Raw preferences are configured with the TIFF or JPEG handling set to “Automatically open all supported TIFFs and JPEGs” then such images will open via Camera Raw rather than directly into Photoshop, which is potentially rather confusing.

One of the reasons why I prefer managing photos in Lightroom compared to Bridge is because the Lightroom policies are much clearer and the user always remains in full control as to how such photos are opened from Lightroom.
