P: Opening photos in Photoshop from LrC using Edit In does not work correctly for some operations

Using Lightroom CC2015.7 and Photoshop CC2015.5.1

1 )If Photoshop is CLOSED and then I "Open as Layers ....." the computer will just sit there doing nothing. If I click Photoshop to open it then the operation will complete and the photos will be layered. I THINK THIS IS BUGGY BEHAVIOR

As a side note, this BUG affects the Panorama and HDR the same way. Photoshop has to be opened manually. The "Open as Smart Object works correctly.

2) If Photoshop is OPEN and then I "Open as Layers ...." the photos will open as layers in Photoshop

3 )If Photoshop is CLOSED and I "Edit in Adobe Photoshop ..." Photoshop will open and the two photos are loaded as separate objects. This is the expected behavior.

I think this is a change in behavior in Lightroom CC2015.7

For me, the problem started to appear after upgrading to LR 2015.7. At that time, the workaround to start PS manually was working satisfactorily in a sense that after closing PS the PSD file got passed back to LR. With PS CC 2017 even this is not working anymore for me; I need to also manually import the PSD back into LR.

Adobe, please fix this ASAP - this is really annoying!!!

I too have been getting the error "The files could not be editing because Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 could not be launched". This has been happening ever since I upgraded Photoshop.

Trying to edit selected Lightroom files in Photoshop and keep getting this message. "The files could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 could not be launched."

This feature was working a few weeks ago.

To be clear, there were two issues reported in this thread:
1.Lightroom could not locate and launch the right version of Photoshop that you wanted. For example, Photoshop could be installed in a non-standard location such as a detachable external drive. The above config.lua method address it by allowing you to tell Lightroom which version of Photoshop to use.
2. 'Edit In > Open as Layers in Photoshop' not working without first launching Photoshop. This is a separate bug that has been fixed internally for the next update of Lr.

I, too, am having the same issue. Photoshop cc 2017 does not open when choosing open as layers in photoshop from lightroom.

Having the same problem. 'Edit In > Open as Layers in Photoshop' eventually works if the app is open, but takes much longer than it used to. Won't start the script to layer files unless the program is open already. Please fix this!

Hi Simon thanks for your reply.
The config.lua file is set up exactly as you describe.

The Lightroom system info does show the line :
Config.lua flags:
EditExternally.OverridePhotoshopPath = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2017\Photoshop.exe

That is the correct path to Photoshop on my PC.

Edit in Photoshop works correctly but Open as Layers in Photoshop gives no response initially them after a timeout the following message appears : "The files could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 could not be launched"
