P: LrC 14.5 Edit in Photoshop does not work when opening RAW photos

Product:

• Lightroom Classic 14.5 & Camera Raw 17.5 (current releases as of 8/17/2025)

• Photoshop 2025 26.9.0 (current release as of 8/17/2025)

System:

• Windows 11 (latest patches)

• Laptop (Dell Inspiron 15 3535, AMD Ryzen 7 7730U with Radeon Graphics)

Issue Summary:
When using “Edit in > Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2025 > Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments”, Photoshop launches, but the photo never opens.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open Lightroom Classic 14.5 on Windows 11.

2. Import a JPEG photo.

3. Apply adjustments in Lightroom (exposure, crop, etc.).

4. Right-click photo → Edit In > Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2025…

5. Select Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments.

6. Click Edit.

Expected Result:
Photoshop 2025 should launch and open a copy of the photo with Lightroom adjustments applied.

Actual Result:
Photoshop launches, but no photo opens.

Notes / Workarounds:

• If I choose Edit a Copy (without Lightroom adjustments), the file opens correctly in Photoshop.

• If I manually add Photoshop.exe as a secondary external editor in Lightroom’s Preferences and save it as a preset, the handoff works as expected.

• The issue seems to be with Lightroom’s built-in “default Photoshop” entry.

Impact:
This breaks the standard Lightroom → Photoshop round-trip workflow for JPEG images with Lightroom adjustments.

The problem is with the latest version of Lightroom Classic. I downloaded an older version of Lightroom. Now I can open a photo from Lightroom in Photoshop again.

I have tried the given actions several times now, but it doesn't work for me.

I have this problem as well, since updating last week.  I've tried the solution below with no luck ( I only have PS 2025 on my system). I've tried uninstalling PS, PS & LR and reinstalling. No Joy.

Any Ideas, Please!

As of today, when I got the new update for Lightroom Classic, edit in PhotoShop is no longer working.   It opens PhotoShop but does not bring the photo over.  I have checked the preferences and they look good, and I was able to do this without problems yesterday.  It's only since I got the update today.

I'm using Windows 11 Home version 24H2

I have Lightroom Classic version 14.5 (updated today)
I have PhotoShop version 26.9 (updated 16 days ago)

I have Camera Raw version 17.5 (also updated today)

I have the same issue

i I have reinstalled everything twice

I have reset photoshop pteference

Edit in photoshop opens photoshop but does not open the picture. 

@mystic_soldier7700 - ok.  I'd moved images to a drive with an ' in the name.  Changed it and it worked.  

I've done all of the recommended fixes and none of them work. 

This fixed my issue on Windows. Correctly interpreting filepaths is hard, I guess?

Deleting (') in the folder names did the trick. Thanks.
