Although you can of course continue to edit the result in Lightroom, as I did when I cropped it. But especially stuff like White Balance correction should be done in Lightroom first. So the full workflow would be: 1) adjust the first image in Lightroom 2) synchronize the settings to apply them to the second image 3) open both images as Layers as in the video If you don't intend on doing heavy corrections afterwards, you might want to convert the file to 8 bit in Photoshop before saving it (right after the Flatten Image step in the video). That would reduce your file size by another 50%. @ Serge: yes, that would be the most logical thing to do.

Although I knew it existed, I only used it a few times so far for testing purposes. I presume that you do all the modifications in Lightroom before you merge those pictures in Photoshop?
