P: Opening multiple images as layers from Lightroom

What I can tell you from my experience is that there was this bug several versions back. Then there was a fix that I can confirm as of yesterday is still working on my latest version of both products. That isn't to say you have found a new bug or issue. But yes, it was broken and later fixed for me on MacOs

Rikk Flohr, I'm a little confused. Based on your link (as well as searching the forums) It seems like this has been an issue going back years. Wondering why it is that it hasnt been fixed yet? Do you guys need more information from us to help pinpoint the cause of the issue?

Based on other comments I've seen I uninstalled PS2021 and then LR Classic.  The layers still topped loading after about 20 images.

I tried a work around this morning.  I exported my LR images as .dng files and then tried to use Bridge 2021 to open these .dng files as layers in PS.  Same thing.  Maybe about 20+ were entered as layers into PS but the whole thing just stopped, the layers gone, and PS took me back to its Welcome screen.

As a result, I'm wondering if this is a PS2021 issue?  Is there some setting that needs be adjusted to add more layers?

BTW I'm trying to put 459 images as layers into PS.  I've done more in the past.

Thanks John, merged.

I recently updated to latest versions for LR Classic and PS 2021 as listed above.  Since then, when I try to "Open as Layers in Photoshop" of any more than 20 LR images, the process just stops, the layers that had opened in PS during the process go away, and PS goes to the "Welcome to Photoshop, Daniel" screen.  I know in the past I've opened 100s of layers from LR to PS.  I did the updates a few weeks ago and this is the first time I've tryied to open layers in PS and it's the first time the process has behaved this way.

I run LR and PS on Windows 10, ver. 20H2 (up to date) and I use a Nikon D7500 camera so the files loaded into LR are ".NEF" files.

Thoughts?

Is this resolved if you restore both the preference files in LrC AND PS? Perhaps the one for PS first.

This is such a workflow issue - I have to do this for every single image with my real estate shoots. Instead, I load each one individually, and have to manually copy over each image. Why not update this? It's been this way as long as I've been using Adobe.

The issue Andrew mentions is here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/camera-raw-bugs/lightroom-classic-quot-open-as-layers-in-photoshop-quot-function-broken-after-update/idi-p/12239967 

Works as it should on this end, Big Sur, latest version of LR and Photoshop. But this WAS a bug in the past and was fixed. You may want to try using the CC app to uninstall both (keep preferences), then install Photoshop first, followed by Lightroom Classic.
