I use Lightroom CC Classic and Photoshop CC.
I send images to various people and competitions. Before I send the
image I place it in a dedicated folder. Sometimes, while reviewing the
images, I see something that should be changed. If it is a JPEG image I
go back to the original, make the change, then make requisite size and
color space changes, and re-save. All of that takes a lot of time. Does
anyone know how to directly save the change using only LR? I don't want
to do this on JPEG files, but only on tiff.

How are you sending the images, individual, or a folder of images, Dropbox,
or Adobe CC?

One way to make the change adjustment to any image file. JPEG, PSD, TIFF,
when using LR is to use the export dialog. Using my method you can readjust
JPEGs without degradation.

I usually start with a virtual copy in Lightroom and make the
edits/adjustments. When I think the image is ready for export, I go to the
export dialog where I have presets for various cloud services such as
Dropbox, or Adobe CC. I might have a Dropbox “DEMO” folder, or an Adobe
“Project x” folder, and I can designate sub-folders if I need them. I can
export adjusted originals, resized, or in the case of JPEGs, resized, and
comprerssion level.

If I find that the edited image exported to DB, or Adobe CC needs further
adjustment, I just go to Lightroom and make the new adjustments to the LR
virtual copy. I then re-export without changing the export file name. A
dialog/warning window will open advising that the file name already exists.
You will be given several options; Overwrite, which will overwrite and
replace the existing TIFF/JPEG ; Skip to skip the existing file; “Use
Unique Names” which will add a number to the file name giving you two
copies in the export location.



Thanks.
Some of the time the adjustment can easily be fixed in LR, and sometimes
the adjustment can only be done in PS. I think you answered my issue for
JPEG. If I have a JPEG in my LR collection that has been previously
exported, since later adjustments will be to the LR copy, and not the
exported JPEG, it will not cause further degradation.
Is my understanding correct?
