I guess I give up

That is good to hear :+1:t4:

And I am happy that problem will be solved too. Thanks.

Well, here comes the good news: this issue is finally fixed!
However, it depends on a few things, so the next version to be released will not have it, unfortunately. So that’s gonna be for the release right after the next.

> this issue is finally fixed!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I upgraded with the Black Friday sale and now I am very glad that I did. As I wrote earlier, this is the only real issue I have had with PhotoLab and Optics Pro before it, and now I can look forward to it being fixed.

I can wait now that I know it is actually fixed. If I did not say so before, thank you!

I guess I should ask if the second release will be in this major version, or if it will be in a later (ie, PL3) version.

No worries there, it’s going to be in a minor version of PL 2!

Thanks.

I have downloaded and installed the latest update version (2.1.0, build 14) and much to my surprise it seems like PL is now picking up on changes make in Photoshop. I have been processing a series of images I took during a recent trip and I have externally edited about a dozen or so and every one of those, when saved back to the original tiff image by PS, has shown up with the PS changes.

Has the fix to correct this bug been released? If so, thank you for taking care of this issue.

Well, hopefully something was in this release other than support for new cameras. The release notes did indicate bug fixes and perhaps this was one of them.

The posting were that this fix would not be released until the 2nd update so I was not expecting it, but every image I have sent to an external editor has been recognized by PL2 when it was returned and the changes now show up, so I am happy about it. A bit surprised, but happy.

I can’t even see that update!

please scramble your licensekey.
you know you can use two or three pc’s?
this way a stranger can use yours :thinking:

What can I say, you got an early Christmas present. :grinning:

Never did come up when checking for new updates so I downloaded it from the website. All nicely installed now. Will go see if it round trips stuff to/from Nik ok.

No change on Mac re edited images coming back from Nik. Still have to exit the folder and then return to force an update.

Thank you. My mistake. I have taken care of the issue.

I have been calling Photoshop and ViewPoint 3 and both of those editors now work. I will do some additional testing and see if other editors still show the same issue.

@ColinG

I do not have the new Nik stuff on my system but I have tried this with all of the pixel editors I have that will allow me to save the image back to its original file (Photoshop, PhotoLine, Luminar, Topaz Studio) and they all work properly. You may have to click on the thumbnail of the returned image to get it to display, but then they all work for me.

I tried this with Affinity Photo as well, but I can not save the image back as a .tif since AP only saves tiffs as .tiff and that would create a new image and not test this new functionality.

Def no change with Nik on Mac. Behaving exactly as in the last release. Mike, what is supposed to happen if I do the same thing in a Project? I tried it here but the tiff was not created or returned to the Project folder, it all happened behind the scenes in the “real” folder, if you get my drift. That seems pretty pointless to me unless a) I am missing a trick or b) its a bug.

Out of curiosity I downloaded and installed the Dxo Nik stuff and then called it from PL2. I have not used the Nik apps in a long time so I picked something that would be easy to check - Silver FX - and changed the image into B&W. I then saved it back and, sure enough, I saw the change in PL2.

So, for some reason, it worked on my system.
