"Edit in... Open as stacked layers" gives me a message stating, "load layers need at least two files selected" in photoshop.

I just updated both Lightroom Classic and Photoshop today. I selected two images in Lightroom Classic. I went to edit them as a stacked layer in photoshop. Instead I get this error message in photoshop, "load layers need at least two files selected.”

    UPDATE: I rebooted both Lightroom and Photoshop and it seems to have fixed the issue. All I can think of is that after updating Lightroom Classic I opened it then updated Photoshop. I'm thinking a connection was not made until after rebooting.
