"Edit in Photoshop" from Lightroom classic on my windows desktop isn't working anymore. I read the previous discussions, but until now nothing is solving the problem. Not even re-installing both programmes on my computer. Whenever I choose "edit in photoshop", Photoshop will open but not the photo I want to edit. I think it started maybe after the last update 3 days ago?? Otherwise I didn't change anything. 

So help is very, very welcome after more than 2,5 hour trying to solve it...

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.

Same problem as everyone else on this forum. After udating to Ps 26.10 no RAW files will open in LrC 14.5. Working on a Mac Ventura 13.7.1. Tearing my hair out with frustration as I have unistalled and re-installed both Ps and LrCand deleted the " ' " from filepath, to no avail . Please fix this SOONEST!!!!

After updating to Lightroom 8.5, Camera Raw 17.5, and Photoshop 26.10, Lightroom will not open a raw file in Photoshop.

I’ve seen this happen after updates. Usually it works again if you update both Lightroom and Photoshop to the very latest version so they match. You can also try resetting the preferences in both apps which often clears the problem. Hope this will be helpful for you.

Yes it is the Foto's part of the folder name. Right click on the folder name and choose Rename..., then change Foto's to Fotos.

I updated Lightroom and Photoshop today. Now Lightroom will not open a file in Photoshop.

Hi @gradyr_1953! Welcome to the community!

Could you share a few more details about the issue? What exactly happens when you try to use the “Edit in Photoshop” command? Is it greyed out, or does Photoshop open without loading your photo?

Also, just checking, do you happen to have more than one version of Photoshop installed?

Thanks so much!
Alek

The issue was indeed caused by the directory name. I changed it from 'Foto's' to 'Fotos', and now everything works perfectly again.

@Sameer K After this week's Lightroom update, when I right click "open in Photoshop" in Lightroom, Photoshop itself opens but the photo doesn't open. 

But you're talking about finding a missing folder, but I can't do that either. When I click on the photo in question, I don't get "find missing photo"!!! See screenshot.
