P: Edit in Photoshop window not coming to the front automatically

I'm having this issue after upgrading to 24.4.1 with Lightroom 12.3 on Windows 10.  The taskbar tab turns orange, but I have to click on it to get Photoshop to come forward. 

Any idea what's going on?

 

Thanks,

David

    I have new information to add.  I changed my video card to meet the DirectX 12 requirments of PS Beta and GenFill.  Problem is now resloved.  I replaced two video cards, a GeForce 730 amd a GeForce 710 with a GeForce RTX 3060.  Hopefully, this will help the bug team.

      Desde la última actualización, cuando se utilizan las máscarás va muy muy lento, incluso no responde. 

      Y cuando mandas editar la fotografía a photoshop, no abre el photoshop cuando ya tiene la foto ahí para trabajar.

      Yes,  all of my software is updated the day it is released so always the latest version. This is why this problem happened, it was after the latest update. Yess I keep all apps open all of the time, Everything normal to the way. I always work, This appears to be a bug.

      I saw the same effect a couple of days ago sending an image from Lrc V12.3 to Silver Efex.

      For years now, choosing 'Edit in...' has then opened the image in the chosen app, but for some reason now 

      'Edit in Photoshop' stays in Lightroom and I need to physically choose the Photoshop app to see the image opened there. Maybe some meny setting will restore to the old way of automatically opening in the chosen app? Need help with this please. TIA, Ken...

          Same behavior on my M1 MacBook Air, running in clamshell mode. Lastest LR and PS as of today. All these files are on my internal HD.

          TIFFs previously edited in PS switch from Lightroom to PS.

          Raw files and iPhone HEICs open in PS, but Mac doesn’t switch to PS.

            Bonjour,

            Quand je veux envoyer une photo de Lightroom vers Photoshop je suis obligé de l'envoyer en tant qu'objet dynamique pour que photoshop m'ouvre l'espace de travail. Si je l'envoie normalement ou en tant que calque c'est la page d'acceuil de photoshop qui s'ouvre seulement !!

            Auriez vous une solution.

            Merci

            Welcome to the Lightroom Classic Community @André 1955. To help you figure this out, I'll need more info.

            Are you working on Lightroom or Lightroom Classic? What version of Photoshop are you working on?

             

            If you're working with Lightroom Classic, ensure the image is not missing from Lightroom Classic's catalog. Go to the Library Module > from the top main menu > Library > Find All missing Photos > Reinstate broken links for all missing images to Lightroom Classic.

             

            If the issue still exists, try this.

            • Uninstall & re-install Lightroom Classic & Photoshop.
            • Install Photoshop & Lightroom again & launch Photoshop before you open Lightroom Classic.
            • Try again.

             

            Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

            Sameer K

            Bonjour et merci Sammer

            Je travaille avec Lrc V 12.3 et Photoshop V24.4.1 (les dernieres versions) et Windows 10 -64 bits

            Ce problème vient de l'installation de la version Photoshop  Béta ! Depuis je l'ai désinstallée mais j'ai ce problème ou je ne peux plus me servir de Photoshop.

            Mes images ne sont pas absentes du catalogue.

            -Lorsque je sélectionne une photo depuis Lrc, clic droit, modifier dans, Adobe Photoshop = Page d'acceuil et rien de plus !!

            -Sélection de 2 photos depuis Lrc, ouvrir en tant que calques =  Page d'acceuil mais rien de plus je ne vois m^me pas les 2 photos sélectionnées !!

            -Sélection d'une photo depuis Lrc, ouvrir en tant qu'Objet dynamique = Photo bien ouverte sur l'espace de travail de photoshop 

            Vous me proposez de désinstaller Lightroom mais je vais perdre toute ma  bibliothèque, mes paramètes prédéfinis et toute mon organisation de mes dossiers ??

            Merci pour votre réponse Sameer

            Since updating to the latest versions of LRC and PS. When I select images (doesn't matter the format) the files open in Photoshop, but LR continues to be the active window. CMD E opens a JPEGs in PS in the background and I now have to manually select PS vs it automatically showing. Editing a RAW file automatically switches to PS window, but LR window stays active in the background until I click on PS window. I tend to select multiple RAWs. Out of habit I hit V once in PS ... in many cases I return to LR and all of the images have been converted to B/W because I didn't click the PS window first.

             

            Working on a Mac Studio.

            It would be nice to not have to find a work around for this issue. It does the same thing for me when I give LR Classic a command to edit in PS. PS should open and come to forefront at that point. Especially since its a command that is done all the time.

            When using LR Classic and using edit in PS feature, PS is not coming to forefront. It did on my older computer but now since I upgraded to mac studio M1. It is not having PS come to forground once hitting edit in PS.
