@mystic_soldier7700

I am having the same problem in that Lightroom CC will no longer allow me to adit an image in Photoshop.

I am now running a Mac Mini M4 Pro with 48Gb memory. The operatiing system is Sequoia 15.6.1 and am running Photoshop 25 V26.10.0 and Lightroom Classic 14.5 Camera raw 17.5.

I. have uninstalled both several timeas and reinstalled and the problem is still there. 

In lightroom CC my secondary editiong preference is Topaz AI and that loads perfectly.

I have seen in another thread that the team is asking for the file

  • Mac location: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CC/Adobe Photoshop/photoshop_v2025.js

This file is not available on my setup as far as I can see so I am attaching a screen grab of what is available below

 any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Hey, @NewForestBoy. Lightroom Classic 14.5.1 just went live with a fix via the Creative Cloud desktop app. Please update and report back if it helps. 

 

Thanks!

Hi all! The update to Lightroom Classic v14.5.1 is now available and includes a fix for this issue.

If you don’t see the update in your Creative Cloud app, refresh it using Ctrl/Cmd + Alt/Opt + R.

 

Note: It may take up to 24 hours for the update to show up.

Thanks for your patience.

Since upgrading to PS 26.10, using Command E on a Mac to open a Lightroom Classic edit into PS doesn't work. It only opens PS, not the file.

 

Also, when saving from PS, the images are not automatically being imported into LR.

 

Bug or settings I need to adjust? All apps are up to date.

I tested your pinned response solution and it works.  Unfortunately, I have been using a folder system based on file dates for many years (e.g.:  "2025-06-11 - June Strawberry Moon").  I do have several folders for special projects that don't use any special characters and those photos open in Photoshop correctly.  I hope you can fix the special character bug quickly.

I can no longer open photos in Photoshop from Lightroom Classic.
When I send a photo via “Edit in Photoshop 2025,” Photoshop opens, but the photo does not load...
Other plug-ins, such as NIK, work fine...
Everything has been uninstalled and reinstalled, both LRC and PS. No result.
One of your employees has already taken over my screen, but without success.
The problem started after the latest Lightroom update.
Uninstalling and reinstalling everything seems pointless to me, because, as I said, I've already done that...
My CPU is compatible and up to date.
It's a Nividia GeForce GTX.
What now???

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Opening RAW photos from my Lightroom Classic in Photoshop no longer works. It's been a few days now. Photoshop opens, but the photo doesn't. Both Lightroom Classic and Photoshop are up to date, and both show the same Camera Raw version. How can I fix this?

Lightroom Classic will not export a tiff to Photoshop. I can export a tiff from other software but Lightroom Classic will not transfer a file.

I cannot solve this problem and your help will be very much appreciated
