Since the latest update, I can no longer send images to Photoshop. Photoshop does launch, but the image doesn’t open.

I’m using:

Adobe Lightroom Classic 14.5
Camera Raw 17.5
Adobe Photoshop 26.10.0
Windows

How can I resolve this issue?

Ps 26.10 has arrived, which solves this problem. Thank you, Adobe.

I continued trying to solve the problem today, but without success. CameraRaw 17.5 is blocking the process. I searched for an older version again. I found the 17.4.2 CameraRaw installer on the internet. With this, all functions work perfectly in Lr and Ps. This suits me fine.

I can't reproduce this on my system.

What happened if you're only send one image with "Edit in Photoshop.." to Photoshop?

What happened if you open Photoshop first and then send the images as layers to Photoshop?

How much images do you have select for sending to Photoshop?

Try resetting the preferences of Lightroom Classic: How to reset Lightroom Classic preferences (adobe.com)

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:

If this doesn't help, please provide a copy of your 'System Info'. This can be get from the LrC Help > System Info menu item. There's a copy button in the System Info dialog. Press this button and paste the info into your next forum post.

I have lightroom classic (v14.5) and I do some minor edits in that and then I click to edit in photoshop (Version: 26.9.0) with the edits I had done, but that photo doesn't open in photoshop at all. I have uninstalled and re-installed both and same thing. What is happening?

I am using the LrC 14.5 and. PS 26.9,

On August 13th 2025 the uptdates to both applications were available on Adobe Creative Cloud app and I followed the folling procedure.

First I installed the Photoshop app, after installation I opened the application to ensure the instaliton was completed successfully and closed PS.

Next I proceeded to install LrC and then opened LrC to ensure the application completed successfully. Then closed LrC..

Rebooted LrC and utilised to do some edits, selected an image and used the edit in PS to send the image for further editing the procedure completed without problems.

This is my normal procedure for the last few years and have not encountered problems with this feature.

Regards, Denis: iMac 27” mid-2015, macOS 11.7.10 Big Sur; 2TB SSD, 24 GB Ram, GPU 2 GB; LrC 12.5,; Lr 6.5, PS 24.7,; ACR 15.5,; (also Laptop Win 11, ver 24H2, LrC 15.0.1, PS 27.0; ) Camera Oly OM-D E-M1.

Have an edited image in Lightroom that I want to continue editing with Photoshop. Right click opens PS but the image doesn't move into PS. Instead the Photoshop window opens with my most recent images showing but no way to move the lightroom image to PS.

MacMini M1, PS 26.6.0 and LR 14.5 and CameraRaw 17.5
If I change CaneraRaw 14.5 it works perfectly. That's not the solution. Please help. All programs have been reinstalled. That didn't solve the problem either.

@ Laszlo5CE3 <> do you have
any extra characters in your file name? Apparently, with the LR upgrade it
does like special characters.

YES! I had a single-quote as part of the directory name (as in David's Birthday). Renaming the directory/folder (well, I had to create a new one as renaming hasn't worked for awhile, but that is easy) allowed me to again Edit in Photoshop with changes made in LRC (in this case, a JPG file).

Thanks!

Running windows 11. I update to LR 14.5 and I cannot send photo using edit in Photoshop. It will not open. I re-installed 14.4 and all is well. Not sure what is causing this.

Bonjour depuis la dernière mise a jour de LR et PS du 13 août, lorsque je veux ouvrir une photo depuis ligtroom vers photoshop, je tombe sur la page d’accueil de PS et la photo ne s’ouvre pas.

J'ai désinstallé/réinstallé Lightroom, Photoshop et Photoshop Beta, c'est toujours pareil ; impossible d'ouvrir les photos d'aujourd'hui (19/08/25), pas de problème avant cette date (mes photos précédentes datent du 16/08/25). L'application se lance mais n'ouvre pas les images.
