HELP: Media Management for TIFF- JPG- PSD-Files

I work a lot with pictures in my present videowork. Everytime I change something in Photoshop, the change is not automatically updated, when I return to Final Cut.
The picture is set offline and eveytime I had to do the same enoying procedure to get it online again and updated.

Is there a way to make Final Cut updating changes of pictures automatically?

Not that I know of. I'm used to this workflow now, but I think it would be nice if FCP had an option to perform the reconnection procedure automatically.

Do you have Photoshop set up as your external editor for stills?

System Settings>External Editors>Still Image Files.

If I edit a still in Photoshop from within FCP, it updates on the timeline when I close out of PS.

Thanks. Now I found the solution myself:
You have to check a box in User Preferences. I don't now how it is in English, I'm working with a German FC. In German:
User Preferences -> Bearbeiten -> Extern bearbeitete Dateien immer erneut verbinden
