export images to photoshop without them being saved in any folder

Sebastian Devenish
would like to export images to photoshop without them being saved in any folder. For example I have 4 variants that I use to edit one image. I drag three variants in to one of them in photoshop. Once I have done that I want to discard the 3 variants and save the final image once edited. Capture one always saves the variants that I have to then delete making sure I am not deleting the final image... Lightroom does not save any exported image to photoshop till it is saved in photoshop. Also can Capture export to photoshop 4 variants as layers into one file?

    Taking the last question first, Capture One can't currently export the 4 variants as layers into one file in Photoshop.

    I'd say it's usual that Lightroom can go on into Photoshop without an intermediate file, which it can do because of the close relationship between the two apps. I assume that Lightroom couldn't do that if for some reason you wanted to take an image from Lightroom into some other app.

    @... - but presumably LR and PS are almost like two halves of the same system, and Adobe can engineer them to work like that. Not the same in the case of Capture One and Affinity.

    Yes Lightroom and PS use the same raw converter so LR can simply hand off to PS the task of doing the raw conversion of all the selected images. LR can store the raw adjustments in XMP sidecars or in the DNG raw file and PS / Adobe Camera Raw can read them there. Since no one can read Capture One's raw edits Capture One has to create an intermediate RGB file. This of course then leaves RGB cruft if you are merging multiple images into a single file in PS.
