Pop Up Window Lightroom To Photoshop

From time to time when I want to switch from editing in Lightroom to Photoshop, I will get a pop up window with some options available.
I'm sure most of you know what window I'm referring to.
My question is, why doesn't this window appear every time I switch from Lightroom to Photoshop after the initial Lightroom adjustments have been done on a new image?
It doesn't seem to matter if Photoshop is already open or not.

I always open the file in Lightroom first, do some slider adjustments and then go to Photoshop.

Right now, I've done some slider adjustments to a CR2 file in Lightroom Classic CC and I want to go to Photoshop CC to do some edits.
I right click on the image while in the develop mode of Lightroom to bring up the option to edit in Photoshop CC.
After clicking on that edit in Photoshop option is when I sometimes get the pop up window asking, along with other choices, if I want to edit in Photoshop with the included Lightroom adjustments.

Currently, that pop up window isn't appearing and I don't know if the Lightroom edits are being carried over when the image opens in Photoshop.

Has something changed with this process and the edits are now being carried over by default when the image opens in Photoshop?

Make the LR version black and white (or some other obvious edit) and send it to PS to see if the LR edits are preserved. Are your versions of LR/ACR current across all applications you are using?

Based on your black and white suggestion, that edit does carry over.
My LR/ACR and Photoshop apps are all current.

I find it odd why sometimes that pop up window appears and other times it doesn't.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I have noticed the same issue recently. It must have come with a LR update. Sometimes I get the options, sometimes not.

In my experience, when it does not ask, it does send the file with the LR changes which is good because that is what I normally want but it seems like a good option to have to take the original file without the LR changes.

I was wondering if it had to do with an update as well.

The pop up window appears when I do the same process with a jpg file.

You only get the pop-up window if you Right-Click on a TIFF or JPEG image.

Correct, if it comes back after the first edit as a PSD then you don't get the prompt. The first trip over to PS it converts to either a TIFF or PSD, depending on your settings, and then adds the LR changes if you allow. When it comes back, you are now editing the TIFF/PSD that came back, not the CR2 you started with.

I believe the way it works is thus;

A RAW file will open up in Photoshop without a dialog.
A JPG will open in Photoshop with a dialog.
Once edited in Photoshop, a raw file gets saved as a TIF and reimported (if you have that option enabled) back into Lightroom.
If you then open that TIF file up in Photoshop it will give you that dialog.

Hope this answers some questions.

P.S. to avoid confusion, some people have Lightroom append the filename on importing the TIF file. I used to used "-edit" to let me know it was edited in Photoshop. I have since stopped as I show extensions in the expanded grid view. I just have to look in the corner (or in the info line top left) to see if it's a TIF or a RAW.

Actually really simple, if it's a RAW file format then you don't get a dialogue. Any other format and you get the dialogue. This is because in that case Lr needs to know if you want to create a new file, with or without any Lr adjustments baked into the file, or just open the original file in Ps.

If you are running Lr on OSX though I think it used to be that you saw the dialogue for all images, RAW or other formats, not being an OSX user this may have changed with a recent update. Adobe do seem to quietly change certain features without apparent notice.

If LR and PS are utilizing the same Camera Raw versions, because in that case it is catalog data - Raw location and desired edits - that passes from LR to PS where the ACR plugin implements it and renders the RGB rasterized bitmap. But if PS is older, for instance PSCS 6 with ACR 9.1.1 and LR 6.14 with CR10.0 (?), LR has to do the render to RGB by itself (just as it would for any non-Adobe pixel editor) and you get asked how you want the render and write to disc done.
