This guide covers uploading and downloading projects when the source photos are from Lightroom CC, Photoshop, or Bridge. 

Upload a project

  1. From the Projects tab, click Create a new project. Then, choose Edit
  2. Choose the editing software you use.

    Your edits open in the software you chose. For photos in RAW format, Imagen creates a sidecar XMP file in the same folder as the original photos. For photos in JPEG and DNG format, the XMP information is embedded, so you won't see the sidecar files. For more information about seeing your edits, see this guide.
