Editing in Lightroom and photoshop

The workflow is usually working one or more files in Lightroom, and then opening them in Photoshop maybe as layers. You do some more editing, and then save it.

At this point you close photoshop and lightroom shows your file with all your changes.

Now you want to create a virtual copy and keep working there.

You can then edit the original file in Photoshop again (chosing "Edit as original" the TIFF/PSD file will keep your photoshop metadata including layers). The virtual copy will be automatically updated with the changes in the original, and you can keep processing the virtual copy in lightroom.
