I don't think there is an easy workaround. What I been doing if I had to is open one file in PS, then go back to Lightroom, create a virtual copy of the RAW file, make adjustments and open it again and then move it as a layer on top of the first PS file I opened. Few extra steps, but I don't have to do it with every image, so it's not that big of a deal.

Great review. I love the book but have encountered the same issues using Lightroom. I use the develop module, open in PS and convert to smart object, make the copy and then double click to re-edit in ACR, which doesn't work. What is the work around you mentioned in your post?

Thanks,

Marcy

It's easy to say that the image is oversaturdated when you're looking at the original RAW file and compare it to the end product. RAW files always look very dull and processes RAW always look overprocessed when compared with the original. I wanted to make an image about the skies, and I had to improve the color, or else nothing was going to work. FYI - both images with the skies are in my stock portfolio, and they're selling well, so people must like them.

I agree with you that a lot of adjustments are done in Lightroom. In his book Scott spend a lot of time in Camera RAW for each image, which is the same as Develop module of Lightroom. But there are things you can only do in Photoshop, so it's not going away anywhere, and as much as I love Lightroom, I still use Photoshop quite a bit.

i think the color in the "after" images are a bit too saturated and the skies look a bit unrealistic and airbrushed. more of a "photoshop" image than a photograph...
i think the best improvement lies haldway... but that is an opinion.
just think there is a tendency of overdoing photoshop corrections...

your review is useful though.
i think the workflow lately is done more in Lightroom or Aperture.

Daniel - Thanks, Daniel. Good choice.
