When using third-party applications with Lightroom, some apps may not permit direct saving of an image file after edits. In such cases, you must manually save a copy of the edited file to a new location. Lightroom will not automatically detect the changes made in the third-party app. To link the edited file with Lightroom, select Browse to manually select and import the modified version into Lightroom.
