Ex: I have all my photos saved in Lightroom and lightroom allows me to export the photo into Affinity photo and continue my edit, once I finish with the edit in Affinity photo I would like to import it directly back into lightroom, without having to export it and then import again into lightroom. 
 
 
When will this be possible?
 
Thank you,

I have a major long term investment in managing images in Adobe Lightroom.  One very useful feature of Lightroom is to be able to edit an image in another piece of software and update the image in Lightroom.  Lightroom allows editing of an image in Photo but modifications are not registered in the Lightroom copy.  Is this a glitch in my setup or is it a feature that could be added?
