Using LR5 and editing in CS6

danny842003 · 13 Jan 2014

So i was working through my holiday snaps from Budapest and came to a photo which had a really annoying branch in the sky, I remember at the time the fact it was the best way to frame the shot and that I would cure the fault when I got home.
Still being new to LR and PS I set about and edited in CS6 and saved but the image has moved right to the end of my row of shots (at the bottom of the LR screen) obviously i want to put it back in order but i have no idea who to do this.
Any help much appreciated.

How did you go about getting it into PS. Did you go via LR, i.e. right clicked photo and select edit in PS?
Perhaps you have loaded into PS, edited and saved, then imported into LR?

I right clicked in LR saved in CS6 and LR updated itself to this itself.

On the film strip at the bottom of your screen, click the image, hold and drag/drop to where you want it to go.

I keep getting the currently selected source does not select custom order.

View > Sort > Capture Time

It's a really irritating 'feature' of Lightroom that's been there since version 1.0 that it changes the sort order to Added Order when you edit the first photo after import. I know not why it does this.

I think you can only manually re-arrange the order when you are in a Collection.

When you do the Edit-In you should get a dialog pop-up and one option is to Stack With Original. Make sure this is checked if you want the edited version to be adjacent to the original.

I'm using LR5. Not sure if this is exactly the same problem or just something similar. For example if, using the Edit-in dialog, I send P1140698.RW2 to CS2 I get a file P1140698-Edit.tif turn up at the right hand end in LR5. I have loads of these sitting out at the right hand end because I finish off the editing for all my images in CS2.

I have just realised that I can get these to sit next to the originals if, when in the Library module, in the menus I use View, Sort, Filename. Having done that, if I now send a file across to CS2 the xxxx-Edit.tif turns up next to it in LR5.

I've been puzzled for ages about when I can and can't drag images to a different position. I just did an experiment.

I'm currently working with all the files in a folder showing along the bottom in LR5. I've made sure I'm not in a collection by deleting the few experimental collections I had made. I can drag a file to a different position.

If I then go and look at View, Sort (which appears in the Library module but not in the Develop module) it now has a tick by "User order".

If I have several files selected (this can be any selection, the files don't have to be next to one another), if I drag any of them to a new position the other selected files move along with it to the new position.

In LR5 this isn't in the dialog pop-up when you do Edit-In. It is an option in Edit, Preferences, on the External Editing tab.

I think your having the same problem as me and the above solution has worked perfectly and so simply.
