P: Edit In Photoshop doesn't open all photos

You have a serious bug in Lightroom that has been there for several years and I at least reported to you twice on previous versions of Lr. It has been ignored.

This happens when both Lightroom, and Photoshop are up to date (ACR up to date).

When I select a number of photos in Lr which I have cropped and edited, to further edit in Photoshop by clicking CMD E (Mac), on occasions, (it does not happen all the time) some photos do not open in Photoshop. For example, I usually have about 30 photos selected and when I open in Ps, I find only 27. I have to go back to Lightroom, find those that were missed and open those again.

This is NOT user error, as I am 100% certain that I am SELECTING ALL before I hit CMD E.

The way to overcome this is to have Photoshop (ACR) a version behind Lightroom so that when I try to open the photos from Lightroom, it will ask me whether I want to render in Lightroom instead, and that way all photos get exported to Photoshop.

Please do not keep on ignoring this bug forever.

Is this fixed in Lr 7.3?

haha, I was not suggesting that as a "solution" 😛 It just describes features of the bug

I don’t think it happens on the first batch I try to process in Ps. It seems to always happen on some subsequent batch edits that I try to send to photoshop.

It is not feasible to quit and restart Lightroom after each batch edit.

Unfortunately it doesn’t help much it only adds more steps to my workflow. I still have to go and find the photos Lightroom missed to send to photoshop.

This bug has been there for several years and it beggars belief how Adobe continues to ignore us. They do however find the time to issue press releases to boast they made “record quarterly revenue of $2.08 billion in its first quarter of fiscal year 2018”

Just another thought for a work-around. When you want to edit a bunch of photos

1) Clear the Quick Collection (⇧⌘B)
2) Add the selected photos to the Quick Collection (⌘B)
3) Keep the Quick Collection sorted by Edit Time

Doesn't solve the problem, obviously, but does make it easier to figure out what happened.

Yea, it's continuing to happen with me, sometimes it won't register a single image opening. After quit Lightroom and reopening it returns to normal

I'm wondering whether some Adobe rep can acknowledge this bug and update me whether it is being addressed.

This bug shouldn't be on a professional grade software. It is very time consuming for me to go back and check which random files Lightroom failed to open every time I try to batch edit in Photoshop.

I appreciate if you let me know whether you acknowledge this bug and whether steps are being taken to be addressed.

It has been there for several years and I'm sure you understand it would be a relief if it is fixed.

For me it happens on about 75%. Very time consuming to go back and find the missing ones.

Mac OS. Been happening as I said for several years so not specific to latest OS or hardware.

Lightroom and Photoshop are both latest versions (7.2 and 19.1.1) but again as I said this happens when both LR and PS are up to date and just specific to the latest versions (see my original post)
