Lightroom Classic: Support cataloging PSB files (files larger than 2 GB PSDs and 4 GB TIFFs)

I don't care if I cannot edit the file. I just want to see it in LR for cataloging purposes.
I haven't touched bridge since i am into LR.

CC 2015 is here, yet no sign or care from Adobe to support PSB in Lightroom. I guess their polls indicated that users wanted Dehaze instead of PSB support.

Lightroom doesn't support .psb files. This is really stupid as it is an adobe file format. Please fix this ASAP. It is really easy to get over the 2GB limit with a simple panorama and some adjustment layers.

I don't care if I can edit it or not in LR,.. I just want to see it! that's all.
Why invent a file-format without supporting it.

yes I know I am starting to sound like a broken record. to me this is very important.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Size Limitations for Panorama in Lightroom CC - Feature Request.

Feature request: This note is to encourage Adobe to expand the size limitations of panoramas in Lightroom CC. I understand that this limit is a maximum long dimension of 65,000 pixels or a maximum pixel count of 512 megapixels. Such a limit makes it impossible to obtain wide angle panoramas with long focal length lenses to obtain extremely high resolution. For example, a 100 mm lens on a 24mm x 36mm sensor turned to vertical orientation (24mm wide) requires approximately (ideally) 26 frames to make a 360 degree panorama. If a 50 megapixel camera is used (e.g. Canon 5DS), this image will be approximately 150,000 pixels wide or almost three times the present limit. It will also have approximately 1300 megapixels, again roughly three times the present limit. This means that a Canon 5DS cannot be used to make even a 180 degree panorama using a 100mm lens in the vertical orientation. Another use for panorama is very high resolution art reproduction using panorama to merge a mosaic of separate images of one artwork. The size limit constrains what can be done to a significant degree. Panorama creation in Lightroom CC is fantastic because it is easy and results in a RAW image. But the present size limit is a real constraint! My recommendation would be to quadruple the linear dimension and make the pixel limit ~10 times as great. One additional point: When too many pictures to merge are selected, Lightroom should return a statement "Panorama is too large - limit is a maximum long dimension of 65,000 pixels or a maximum pixel count of 512 megapixels" instead of some thing like "Panorama failed - try a different projection". This would save many people a lot of time. It took me several hours of experimentation and finally a Google query to figure out what the problem/limitation was. Thank you for your attention.

Yes, please Adobe, support psb files in LR. I'd even accept limited functionality (no develop module, say) as a temporary solution just so I can have the huge master layered files in LR.

I am shocked if it is true that Lightroom won't catalog psb files. I dragged a number of them onto a catalog, and the message was "No photos found". If true, this is inexcusable. Perhaps I am confused?

What a shame they doesn't support their own format..!

With the bigger sized photos in MegaPixels (as the Sony a7R II that I use), all my non-destructive files are weighting more than 4 GB. They put infront of the line that non-destructive function bu aren't able to provide compatibility in between their own softwares -_-

I'm then stuck with these files only managed in the Finder and can lose track of them..

Am thinking about going with another solution really..

Please add psb support

We NEED psb support !

i don't need to edit it, i just want to see it in my collection 

5years and still not even read support for it :(

Just started creating Pano and exposure blending with my D800 raw files. Linking the smart objects back to the Raw file in Photoshop. The file is greater than 4GB, I can not manage this file as part of my Lightroom workflow as I need to use PSB files. Just need Lightroom to support PSB catalogue and allow edit in Photoshop (original).

This feature is long overdue with rising file sizes of modern DSLRs. Adobe wake up and start working. I keep coming back to this thread once in a year just to see that nothing changed. What are we paying the monthly bills for...
My panoramas with the D810 and a tele lens end up being 10GB plus in size. I want to catalogue them to find them in my big library and folder structure. Edits can always be made in Photoshop if need be.

For those of you interested in another workaround: I create a TIFF file with the same dimensions as the original file (works most of the time). It is set to sRGB and 8 Bit contrary to the original file which is 16bit and ProPhotoRGB. This alone saves a lot of space. Then I link the original file as a smart object. So it is rendered inside the file and you can always jump from the TIFF file to the original via the smart object.
The TIFF can then be imported to LR. No plugin needed.

Could it be possible for future versions of Lightroom to include the facility for reading .psb files as I work with large 360 degrees panoramas, that are created with layers for easy editing of minor errors
