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

The entry should look something like

EditExternally.OverridePhotoshopPath = "C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Photoshop CC 2017\\Photoshop.exe"

To make sure that Lightroom sees your config.lua update, go to Lightroom>Help>System Info... to bring up the system info dialog.

It should show an entry like the following in the dialog

Config.lua flags:
EditExternally.OverridePhotoshopPath = C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2017\Photoshop.exe

If you are not seeing it, then you need to follow the instruction exactly. Make sure your local file is named config.lua exactly.

Hi Victoria - thanks for trying. Unfortunately it still would not work in CC2017 with Windows 10.

In my records for Windows, I have:

EditExternally.OverridePhotoshopPath = "C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Photoshop CS3\\Photoshop.exe"

Note the double slashes in the opposite direction. I haven't got a Windows box loaded at the moment to check, but give the same idea a try with the latest version.

Just tried the config LUA file on Windows 10 and can't get it to work. I have tried :

EditExternally.OverridePhotoshopPath = "C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC 2017/Photoshop.exe"

and

EditExternally.OverridePhotoshopPath = "/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC 2017/Photoshop.exe"

Neither worked. Does it work on Windows?

Thank you Simon!

Victoria is correct. The config file does not care which version of Photoshop that the path points to.

I'm not Simon, but yes, it should work fine. That config.lua file has worked for many years, so it's unlikely to stop now.

Question for Simon Chen...Simon can we just edit the config.lua file for Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 now that it has been released, downloaded, and installed?
