Hyper-Smart Workflow

This lesson shows how you can substitute a Smart Preview from Lightroom when you don’t have access to an original image. Then, in Photoshop, you can use a Linked Smart Object to use that Smart Preview as a placeholder for the full resolution raw file. Once you have access to the original file, then your layered Photoshop file can update to swap the low resolution Smart Preview for the original raw file.
