P: Edit in Photoshop sends it to the Photoshop Beta, not 2023. No option to choose.

Hoping for some help here. I am on a PC and have the latest versions of Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. I wanted to download and try the new Photoshop Beta so I downloaded it from the Adobe Creative Cloud and it installed fine. BUT - when I use Lightroom and choose EDIT IN - ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 2023 it opens the BETA version. It does not give me an option to choose WHICH Photoshop version I want to use. Uninstalling the Beta basically kills the ability to send an image from Lightroom Classic to Photoshop at all and the only way to get things back is to uninstall the beta and then uninstall Photoshop CC 2023 THEN reinstall Photoshop. I'd love to play with the beta and be able to choose which version of Photoshop I want to use when sending images from Lightroom Classic.
 
I've seen some videos where the option to select which version of photoshop you want to use is selectable from a dropdown menu but this was on a Mac and not a PC. Any help is appreciated!

This does NOT work. I just spent another 90 minutes again today trying the method of unistalling and reinstalling programs with no success. Now when I bridge an image I get "IOerror: general photoshop error occured. This functionality may not be available in this version of photoshop"
Moving images from LRC to PS works fine, but not PS beta. I can't even open an already saved Tiff in PS beta, get hit with " Could not compelte your request because of a program error". I get this same error code when trying to exit out of PS beta. Can't exit program without using resource monitor and manually ending process. 

 

Any updates on this? Incredibly frustrating when you need to use generative fill when

This is a good example of why you don't just install beta software on your production (or only) computer. Betas are released BECAUSE they need testing and they have known bugs. Unfinished software is always "buyer beware."

 

If a beta is causing problems, the best bet is to remove it and only install on a computer that you can afford to be unreliable or not work correctly.

If you have installed Photoshop Beta 25.0 it's a known issue.

You have to rollback to Beta version 24.7

 

If the rollback doesn't help, try this:

Use the Adobe Creative Cloud Application to uninstall Photoshop (both versions!!). When asked, keep preferences! After this reinstall Photoshop (note the Beta!!) again.

 

If this doesn't help the next step is to reinstall both apps Lightroom and Photoshop. Please follow the steps below:

1. Open the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Client and uninstall both Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. When asked, keep preferences! 

2. Install Photoshop first and then Lightroom Classic. The right order is very important here!

 

After the combination LR and PS worked together again, you can try to install the Beta 24.7 (not 25.0 !!!)

Nothing has worked for me. Have unistalled both programs, re installed to no avail. Then unistalled certain updates to try and find what was working for me before. Again, I can't bridge an image from LRC to PS Beta without an error, I can't even close out PS Beta without going to resource monitor and ending process. Is there any updates for this? It's incredibly frustrating when all you want to do is edit and software is stopping you.

Reverse to V.24.7 solve the problem. You don't need to uninstall the V.25, just install V24.7. 
Hope it can help,

I have the same proble, it started a couple of beta updates ago. It use to work perfectly now its a couple minutes to open it only after getting error message  "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop 2023 could not be launched." I am on a m1 macbbok pro osx ventura 13.2,   LRC 12.4,  PS beta 25.0.0.  Also the only send option that works (if you call waiting 2+ minutes working)  is "Open in Adobe PS beta" the "open as smart oblect" does not work at all

Using a PC, in LR under Edits > Preferences > External Editing: Photoshop 2024 or 2022 are listed as options.  PS 2023 or 2023 beta are no longer listed.  How do I add PS 2023 or PS 2023 Beta as options?

I see thread has started  on May, 7th, now is August, 5th and still no update which resolve  this bug. I also have it. For me at this moment open PS non-beta before chosing in LR option to edit in PS will be better ten reinstalation. Probably after PS non-beta update it should back to proper work, but after PS beta update it appear again. I am also waiting for Adobe resolve this bug.

Reverting to the previous version of PS Beta fixed the issue for now. I'm gonna skip the latest until that bug is worked out

Which version of Photoshop Beta do you have install? Version 25.0? If yes, go back to version 24.7, in the latest Beta it an known issue in the combination with Lightroom
