Looking for a better workflow idea when editing between LR & PS

I'm wondering if there is a better workflow than what I am currently doing. I'm open to new/more efficient ideas.

Steps

  1. Edit in LR (collection name = LR Edits)
  2. From LR, Edit In > Edit in Adobe Photoshop
  3. Edit in PS (new TIF file is created with -Edit at the end of the filename)
  4. Finishing touches in LR (crops, export sizes) on the -Edit file
  5. Move the -Edit file into a new collection (collection name = PS Edits)
  6. Remove the -Edit file from the LR Edits collection.

Changes Want to Make

I wish there was a way to move the -Edit images into the PS Edits collection and NOT have to also remove it from the LR Edit collection. The goal is to reduce clicks/steps.

But I don't want to open the -Edit images in the Library module, just to put them in a new collection.

Reasoning

I like to keep the different files in separate collections so if I want to change the crop, its easier to find the image in the PS Edits collection. I find it less chaotic not having multiple version of 1 image in 1 collection.

When I save the image in PS, I do not have to manually rename the file, select the folder location, or import back into LR, if I open directly from LR.

Hiring a food truck for a party, but I live on a hill

I’m assuming the answer to my question is “food trucks need a flat spot to park”, but want to be sure.

I want to hire a food truck for a party but I live on a hilly street. I’m assuming a food truck can’t park in the road because of the hill. Is that correct?

What payment system to use to place a security deposit/hold?

I want to rent out something I made. I want to have a way to accept payments but to also either place a security deposit hold or something similar, in case the item is damaged.

What recommended payment system allows for this? Is there an ideal way to do this?

New foam for cushions or get pillow toppers?

I have removable cushion covers but I think the covers were sized a bit smaller than the cushions.

This makes it difficult to take off/put on the covers. And it doesn’t give the cushion any room to “expand/move”, so the cushion is very firm and uncomfortable. If I take off the cover, the cushion is much softer.

I think my options to make my couch more comfortable is to either get new/appropriate sized foam or get pillow toppers (like this: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0768/6278/3792/files/9fa03e5e4471a29d2b9a21e1511f39cd.jpg?v=1776760127)

I wouldn’t mind the additional height from a pillow topper because our coffee table opens up and is a bit too tall for our couch.

I’m not sure what the best solution is. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Why do companies fill rolls with contractors?

I interviewed for a role where the company has the job listed on their website for a direct hire but they are also hiring through a contracting company.

Other than having the option to replace the person without having to pay for unemployment, why would a company fill a role with a contractor?

Tips & weight distribution for one foot glide, pumps, & backward swizzles

I had a few lessons with a former instructor who helped me a lot by telling me where to think about where I put my weight in my feet & had a lot of other great tips. Unfortunately, she had to stop teaching.

Until I find an instructor who has a similar teaching style, I’m looking for other tips and instructions for how to do the following.

I’m used a sport where all my weight went into my heels at all times, so ice skating feels very different for my.

  1. Backward swizzles
  2. Single leg glides
  3. Pumps

I think I’m getting stuck because I don’t understand what it physically means to “push” into the ice and I don’t know which part of the blade I need to use during each phase of the movement.

Looking for self adhesive recommendations that you barely feel

I’m looking for a self adhesive lash cluster that feels natural/barely noticeable.

I tried Impress Kiss and it just felt like I could see them in my upper peripheral vision. I didn’t notice it if I was busy but not sure if there’s something better.

Help me understand the different under eye products

I have the following products for under eyes to help cover up discoloration under my eyes that’s under inner half my eye.

Each of these has a different consistency but I don’t understand how one products works different than the other.

  1. Milani super charge - brightening under eye tint
  2. Fenty - bright fix eye brightener
  3. NARS - light reflecting eye brightener
  4. Tarte - shape tape creamy concealer

Milani & Fenty are more liquidity/creamier than NARS.
NARS is more “sticky”, I can’t think of a word to describe it.

- When is it more beneficial to use a more creamier product over NARS and vice versa?

- When is it more beneficial to use a concealer over an eye brightener and vice versa?

Eyelid mask while getting extensions

I’m not sure if this exist, but is there a mask or eye cover that I can use while getting my extensions put on?

I find the light to be too bright that it hurts my eyes and makes my lids too much more. If I could use something that blocks out more of the light, I would be more comfortable.

Practicing on a mat

Has anyone practiced form or balance outside of the rink (on the rubber mats, with guards off) to help your body/brain figure out part of what it needs to do before adding the ice as another element/variable?

For example, when trying to learn how to shift weight from one leg to another on the blade, has it helped anyone to do it with skates on while standing on the rubber mat before trying on the ice?

*edit to add*
I do a bunch of single leg balance exercises and strength training at home/gym. Have been doing it for almost 10 years, including using balance pads and bosu balls, since it was part of my original ankle rehab.

Off ice with no skates, no problems at all balancing on one leg while doing other stuff (single leg dips, squats, cross overs, etc).

But I cannot find where I feel balanced on one skate at all. I figured if I can’t find that spot off ice, holding on to the wall in skates, then how am I supposed to find that while also on the ice too?

Were my blades sharpened correctly?

I bought my skates at a store that was recommended by several people here but told to not let them sharpen it. I didn’t realize they were going to do it without telling me so I didn’t have a chance to stop them.

I’m a beginner, just finished by 6th skate yesterday. But wanted to learn about how blades are supposed to look when sharpened and make sure mine aren’t a major concern.

Thank you!!

Medicare & Tricare for Life - Cancer treatment at civilian hospital

Is chemotherapy and radiation therapy covered by Medicare and Tricare for life if treatment is provided by at a non-military hospital (assuming the hospital accepts both insurances)?

I received mixed information and am trying to get clarification.

From what I have read, Medicare would be the primary insurance coverage and Tricare would be secondary.

I'm trying to determine Medicare and Tricare together will cover 100% of the costs so we can go to a closer hospital.

We have the option to drive further to a military hospital where I know the cost is 100% covered.
