Need Quick Help LR and PS issue

Whenever I send a file to PS and save it as a Tiff, LR always automatically imports it into the library, but whenever I save it as a Full Size JPEG it says incompatible with LR.
Can anyone tell me what is causing this issue?
Im guessing it has something to do with bits, rgb or mode.

Could be a variety of reasons, but why are you going from PS to LR? You should be culling and batch editing in LR, then finalizing in PS.

LR is not set up to catch returning files who's name has changed - keeping them the same? Plus TIFs are nicer to work with than JPEGs, good intermediate file format if you dont feel like saving raws.

*Edit* Correction, LR should, to some degree hook back files, even after name change, just checked.

Check your settings under Preferences --> External Editing

In my work flow, I do all of my adjustments in LR and then send certain photos the PS to get fine tuned and then when they are re-imported back into LR I use it to organize my files and upload them to various sites and services.
The issue that I am having, is when I know I have done a final edit to a file, I will save it as a full sized JPEG, but for some reason LR wont let me import them.

Oh gotcha, I do that in Bridge.

The logical way to manage workflow is for LR to be your output vehicle.
Thus, the PS edited file is saved and included in your LR library along side the raw file that was its basis.
Now, export any files that you want to deliver into whatever size and file format you desire using the LR export function.

Thats what I do, but when I save the file as a JPEG instead of a Tiff, it comes up as not compatible with LR.

If you use "Edit in PS", LR will convert to a tif or psd file (depending on prefs set). and you need to do a save (not "save as") in PS.

If you want to export a file to PS as a jpg (cannot fathom why), you could use "export" and tick the "add to catalog option.
Or use "edit i n PS", then save, then export from LR as a jpg.

Thanks I will try this when I get home.
The reason why I want to do this is because some pictures I touch up, I have no intentions of printing them large and for those the high quality jpeg should be sufficient. All of my important PS edits are saved as a Tiff.

Well, along side the workflow discussion, we still don't know why Lightroom will not recognize your jpeg.

One thing to check on is to name your jpeg in a way that is not the same base name as your Raw file or tiff. Maybe LR is trying to incorporate it as a duplicate image and it doesn't match -- I'm not saying it is or that it's "good", just taking a stab there.

The only other thing that I can think of for now is whether you have the jpeg in a color space that is out-of-whack -- in other words not sRGB, aRGB or ProPhotoRGB, maybe it's been set inadvertently to, say, the monitor profile or some other out-of-norm space that Lightroom doesn't like.

Again, I don't really have the slightest idea, but those are a couple things I would check on. There is no reason for Lightroom to not be able to process a "normal" jpeg.

One thing to check also: can you open the jpeg in Camera Raw through Bridge (open Bridge and right-click on the jpeg and choose Open in Camera Raw)? Camera Raw and Lightroom have the same Raw processing engine so it could give more clues as to what happens.

Awesome advice. When I change the file name, I can import it manually.
Would you be able to advice me as to what changed that has caused lightroom to no longer automatically import and connect jpegs to its CR2 file?

I sure can't (I had to go up and remind myself what this thread is about!). Maybe if I was actually looking at the problem I could spot something or maybe not.

One thing you could try is going to the Lightroom Users Forum, which is populated by a lot of LR experts -- post this question and see what happens:

Hope you find an answer!
