- [Instructor] In the last chapter we looked
at the Lightroom Classic to Photoshop workflow
starting with a raw file.
In this chapter we'll cover the same workflow
when you're starting with a non-raw photo,
like a PSD or a TIF or a JPEG.
The non-raw workflow is similar to the raw workflow
except that when you pass a non-raw photo
from Lightroom Classic to Photoshop
you have to choose between three options.
In this movie we'll explore one of those options,
the Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments option.
And by the way, this is the option you'll use most.
So I'm starting here in Lightroom Classic's Library module
and in the Folders panel I've selected the chapter two
non-raw workflow area
and in there the folder for the first movie,
Copy with Lightroom Adjustments.
I'll select that thumbnail
and then press D on the keyboard
to open the photo in the Develop module for editing.
And as you can see, this is a PSD format file.
PSD stands for Photoshop document,
that's the native file format of Photoshop.
I'd like to add more contrast to this photo,
so I'm going to go over to the Basic panel
and I'm going to increase the Whites and decrease the Blacks.
To add some more punch I'm going to go down to Dehaze
and I'm going to move that over to the right.
And then I'm going to decrease the Texture
to make the water look smoother.
And finally, I'm going to add a color tint to this photo.
First, I'll change it to black and white
by going to the top of the Basic panel
and choosing Black & White,
and then I'm going to scroll down in the column on the right
and choose the Split Toning panel.
Here I'll go to the Shadows area
and I'm going to move Saturation over to the right
and then I'll drag the Hue slider to a color that I like.
Great, so that's all that I want to do in Lightroom Classic.
Next I'd like to add some text to this photo
and to do that we'll have to switch over
from Lightroom Classic to Photoshop.
So as we learned in the last chapter
the way to do that is to go up to the Photo menu,
choose Edit In, and Edit in Adobe Photoshop.
And that brings up a window
that we haven't seen before in this course.
This is the What to Edit window
and it appears only when you're handing off a non-raw photo,
a TIF or a PSD or a JPEG,
from Lightroom Classic to Photoshop.
The option that you'll choose most often in this window
is the first one, Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments.
I'll explain the other two in other movies in this chapter,
but for now chose the first option here
and then click Edit.
Photoshop will launch if it's not already open
and you'll be switched over to Photoshop
where you'll see the photo that we've been working on
in Lightroom Classic with all the edits that we added there.
So now let's add some text here in Photoshop.
With the Horizontal Type Tool selected in the toolbar
click in the image and type over the placeholder text
with whatever you want to put on top of the photo
and then move your cursor away from the text and drag
to put the text where you want it on the photo
and click the check mark.
And let's add one more line of text.
By the way, you don't have to use
the same fonts that I'm using,
use whichever fonts you like on your computer.
Now that we've finished adding some text
let's save this photo in a way
that Lightroom will recognize.
So go to the File menu and choose Save, not Save As.
Notice in the document tab that saving the file
added a hyphen and the word Edit to the file name.
And the file was saved not as a PSD,
like the one we started with, but rather as a TIF.
That's because the external editing preferences
in Lightroom Classic are set to save as TIF by default.
I'll show you more about that
and how to customize that option at the end of this course.
Now let's switch back to Lightroom Classic
to see what we have there.
Back in Lightroom Classic in the film strip
you can see there are now two versions of this photo.
This one is the TIF version that we just saved in Photoshop.
It displays both the creative edits
that we made in Lightroom
and the text that we added in Photoshop.
The edits that we made in Lightroom,
like the purple tint, are baked into this TIF version,
so we can't undo those.
But you could always make more Lightroom edits
on top of these, like maybe a vignette effect.
You could also take this TIF back into Photoshop
to make changes to the text,
as I'll show you how to do in the next movie.
In the film strip there is another version of the photo.
This one is the original PSD
that we started this movie with,
displaying on adjustments we added in Lightroom Classic,
not the text that we added in Photoshop.
And in this version of the file
the adjustments that we added in Lightroom Classic
are editable.
For example, if I go over to the Split Toning panel
I can find the Shadows adjustments that I made
and I could drag the Hue slider to a different color
to change the tint on the photo.
I'm actually going to press Command + Z on Mac
or Control + Z on Windows to undo
and take that back to purple.
So that's the Lightroom Classic to Photoshop and back
workflow when you start with a non-raw photo,
like a PSD or a TIF,
and you choose the Edit a Copy
with Lightroom Adjustments option
in the What to Edit window.
In the next movie we'll look at what happens
if you choose a different option in that window,
the Edit Original option.
