Join Jan Kabili for an in-depth discussion in this video Setting up Lightroom's stacking preferences, part of Lightroom and Photoshop Elements: Integration.
- There are a couple of other options to take a look at…in Lightroom's External Editing preferences.…One of those is the Stack With Original option,…and this will apply when I'm using…Elements as my external editor,…or even as an additional external editor.…I like to leave Stack With Original at its default,…with a check mark in the Stack With Original box.…What that will do is the following:…When I take a photo from Lightroom over to Elements,…and then I save it back from Elements…so that it is displayed in Lightroom's Library,…I want the copy that is displayed in the Library…to be right next to the original photo.…
So, leaving Stack With Original checked…will create a collapsible group of those photos,…the original and the one that I brought back from Elements.…And I think that's a good thing,…because that helps me to know which photos…are related to one another and to quickly find…both the original and the copy that I brought back…from Elements into the Lightroom Library.…
