Originally posted by travelswsage Anyone using both older standalone photoshop and CC. There are some plug ins I'd like to use with PS CC that can no longer be updated in PS6 like Tony Kuyper's panel but I edit very infrequently and may go months without entering LR or PS. I was thinking about getting CC only to turn it on and off on a month to month basis using it when I might have a slow spot with work and could spend some time working on shots. Is this even possible, and if so would the edited shots go back into my Lightroom library and be accessible and readable using the old LR6 or do I need to reimport them? I'm guessing it might be more of a hassle than it's worth as I haven't been able to find any info. on working like this when doing some internet searches. If anyone is working this way I'd appreciate hearing about your experience.
I did a test on the Mac with Lightroom CC and LR Classic (My Lightroom 6 is on PC), LR Classic is what they relabel 6 as for the Photography Plan CC package. If you export as a DNG file out of either version, you can import it into the other version with edits intact. If it does that for LR I'm pretty sure it will work with PS, since LR is an extract from PS.
