One of the advantages of Adobe Lightroom CC is that there’s no separate “Folders” vs “Collections” views like in Classic.

This makes it a lot easier to manage and find your files, however it also means that there’s no local file structure to tap into. Every photo is stored in the cloud, and even if you choose to have all originals backed up locally, adding an image into that folder in your file system won’t make it automatically show up in Adobe Lightroom. I’ll break it down step-by-step, but here’s the short version of what you’ll have to do. Export the RAW file from Adobe Lightroom CC, open that into DxO PhotoLab 2, export a TIF or JPEG file from DxO PhotoLab, import that back into Adobe Lightroom CC, then delete the originals in the Finder - (maybe).ġ. Right-click on the photo you want to edit, and choose Save To… and then set the file type to Original + Settings. Right click and save the image you want to process in DxO PhotoLab.įor the Location, create a new folder that you’ll use every time for this (that’ll make it easy to find the photos in DxO PhotoLab and also in the operating system so you can delete them later), called something like “Lr CC to DxO PL2 TEMP” as I did, and save the image there. Save the original in a dedicated folder for this workflow.Ģ. Launch DxO PhotoLab 2, and navigate to that same folder.
