See Open photos in Photoshop or Open and edit photos in Photoshop Elements.
3. Edit in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.
Lightroom opens your photo in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.
Perform your desired edits in that application, and when you’re ready, choose File > Save.
4. Return to Lightroom.
Switch back to Lightroom. In the Library Grid view, a new version of your photo appears next to the original. The new
photo contains the edits you made in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. The original photo is untouched.
Note: When saving from Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, be sure to turn on the Maximize Compatibility option so that
Lightroom can read the images. Photoshop CS3 and later automatically save PSD files from Lightroom with maximum
compatibility.
Create slideshows
Most of the work of creating slideshows in Lightroom is done in the Slideshow module, where you can select layout
templates, choose transitions, and set playback options.
In the Slideshow module, the left panels contain a list of templates and previews of their layouts. The Slide Editor view
in the center of the workspace displays the photos in the selected slide template. The toolbar below the Slide Editor
contains controls for playing a preview of the slideshow, refining the selection, and adding text to the slides. The right
panels contain controls for modifying the template, adding text to the slide layout, and selecting playback settings. See
Slideshow module panels and tools.
