Dirk, drag and drop is true for Mac, but I don’t believe this is the case on PC.

olrac: you want to send me a copy? I can then integrate it into my script (as you requested).

BrianVA: you can simply drag and drop pictures out of Lightroom into Photoshop. Then you will see the Adobe Camera Raw to open the files. Of course you then need to re-import the created files into Lightroom.

I have created a similar apple script but it changes the path extension from tiff to nef.

The application that you choose will then open the original file you edit then save as a tiff to the export location. File updated as required.

I am happy to share my apple script with whomever would like it.

Yes, I know both engines are the same. I just find it more convenient sometimes to do everything within Photoshop. This is especially true if I significant work to do within Photoshop, e.g., panoramics, HDR, etc.

Brian, without knowing your motivation or intent, I can suggest a few ways.
Create a Virtual Copy and reset the original. Then open in photoshop.
Export Original and have Photoshop as the Post Processing action.

You do know that the RAW engine in Lightroom and Photoshop are the same?

What I really want to be able to do is open a copy of the original raw file in Photoshop without Lightroom adjustments? This way I can make the adjustments to the raw file inside Photoshop. The only option I get is to open a copy with Lightroom adjustments, which means all the adjustments must be done inside Lightroom.

Does anyone know how to open a copy of the original raw file in Photoshop? Is it even possible.

Thanks.
