Tip
If Lightroom detects no edits, it will prompt you to make changes before saving the image.
Open Lightroom, select Finish, and the image will automatically open in Lightroom.
Note
When using third-party applications with Lightroom, some apps may not permit direct saving of an image file after edits. In such cases, you must manually save a copy of the edited file to a new location. Lightroom will not automatically detect the changes made in the third-party app. To link the edited file with Lightroom, select Browse to manually select and import the modified version into Lightroom.
