Lightroom CC question?

I don't use lightroom but I'll tag a couple of people for you that do and see if they can offer any help. @gonewiththewind @bestcee

 

Elizabeth you should still be able to use classic... the LR CC is also for mobile and I only see, as you said, edit in photoshop but I guess you would have to save it and then open in PSE.. I have the Photography package and it has both Lightroom Classic (that still has the option of other programs to edit in) or the Lightroom Regular which is the other version which is also used for Mobile applications.

I wish I could help further. Perhaps Cheryl @gonewiththewind may know.. she is my go to for all things LR

 

I played with the other (LR Regular) and while I like it that you can just open one photo and then edit in photoshop... there is still the classic that I like.. I think they did the "regular" as it is more condensed if you were to use it on a mobile device... now I am not sure if that is factual mind you, that is what I gathered when I looked at it and played with both versions so I could dehaze my photo

 

Cheryl,
I am unable to drag and drop either. when I am on the photo in LR Classic and I try to drag to PS CC it enlarges the photo only like the zoom. I am on a Windows Laptop so unable to do it from here either.

Thanks too re the link.. that is exactly what I thought as well re Lightroom CC being mobile so it doesn't look like the same catologuing or storeage is the same as classic.

I am glad I steered Elizabeth correctly as you answered basically the same as I did. Hugs and thanks again for helping

 

hmmm @ElizabethW Elizabeth I am glad you can do it.. I tried to grab the photo to drag it from the developing and I can't.. are you dragging and dropping from the library after you have used presets and adjustments or from the development section? I was trying to drop/drag from developing. Thanks!

(I also tried to drop/drag from library and couln't it gave me the circle with the line through it)

 

I prefer to drag photos from Finder into my layout in Photoshop because I think having both LR and PS open at the same time is too taxing for my ancient 2011 iMac. But I just tried dragging from LR to PS and it worked. I know you said PSE though, so I may have been no help. Or maybe? Have you tried dragging from Finder into PSE? I think I did that before I upgraded to PSCC (but that was in 2016 and I have a bad memory).

 

ah yup I guess you are right.. I tried Thanks Cheryl!

 

I'm on a Mac using PS CC and LR Classic CC (or whatever they call it) ... I can drag from the bin - at the bottom of LR to PS. But not the actual big photo that I am working on/looking at. If that makes sense. Did you ladies try that?

 

I tried that too since you suggested that.. I still get the circle with line on a windows using the classic CC so Mac maybe the reason why... It doesn't allow drag / drop using windows. Thanks for your suggestion Jenn.. Hugs

 

@cfile

 

It's ok

 

I'm on a Mac with Lightroom Classic and with all versions back to LR 5 I've been able to do this. I have always been able to drag a photo or more often a bunch of digi stuff from the LR Library right into PSE 2019 back to PSE ...9? Ditto with PSCC which I rarely use.

The only time I've had an issue is if I've clicked on the gray frame of the item, and not the center.

 

Hmm..., I'm using a MBP with LR Classic, and I can drop and drag my photos from Finder directly into LR. I've always been able to, so I'm not sure what to tell you.
