As the title says, if I go to the develop module in lightroom, click on the removal tool then go down to distractions and click apply on the reflections section I can’t then send the photo to photoshop. If I send it to photoshop it opens up the photoshop app but just gives me the home screen as shown and doesn’t open the photo.

Moderators, @Sameer K, please move to Bugs -- see my previous reply for a precise bug recipe. Note that the Denoise / PS bug referenced by @JohanElzenga doesn’t mention Reflections, so either there should be a new internal bug report or that existing bug report updated.

I see the same bug -- Edit In Photoshop doesn’t open a raw with Distraction Removal > Reflections applied.

To reproduce with LR 15.5.1 / PS 27.10.0 / Mac OS 26.6.2:

1. Open the attached catalog.

2. In Library Grid view, select the one photo, which has Reflections applied.

3. Do Photo > Develop Settings > Update AI Settings.

4. Do Photo > Edit In > Edit In Adobe Photoshop. Observe that PS launches but the photo has not been opened.

Looks like another example of this bug (did you perhaps use Denoise as well?): https://community.adobe.com/bug-reports-711/p-photoshop-27-10-edit-in-photoshop-from-lightroom-classic-does-not-load-image-1639250

No I didn’t use denoise, just reflections removal 👍🏻

Then it looks like reflection removal might be another cause for the same bug. Try the same workaround with a smart object!
