How to get jpg photo into photoshop as...

I can not determine how to get jpg photos from Lightroom into Photoshop CS3 without using the export function. With a raw photo I can simply press ''clrl e'' and the raw photo is converted into a tif or psd file and sent to photoshop. That is very convenient when you have worked on the photo and wish to make additional adjustments in CS3. When I do the same process with a jpg file, it converts the file from jpg into a tif at a much larger file size then necessary. Is there a way to get a jpg file which I have worked on within Lightroom into CS3 without using the export function? Thanks, Arthur

Not without creating a TIFF.

Lee Jay, I think you are wrong this time (only)!



Arthur, to solve your problem you have to do two things:



1. In LR open preferences and activate to automatically write changes to XMP. This ensures that your JPG pictures are updated with the LR settings in the XMP container within the jpg file.



2.in PSCS3 open preferences. In the file handling section you will find the option to 'prefer Adobe Camera Raw for JPEG files'. If this option is activated also jpg files are processed with ACR.



You asked for a way to get a jpg file into CS3 without using export. Now you have that. After you made your adjustments in LR just open the jpg in CS3 and you will see the photo with all changes you have made. I tested this with LR and CS3 beta myself it it works perfectly.

That is what I do Christoph and when you open the image in LR again magically all the PS changes show up too...........

I assumed he meant the developed file. But you're right, the xmp data is a way to serve the same purpose.
