P: Lightroom Classic>Edit in PS: Long Delay+Erroneous Error Message opening Ps Beta 2024 25.0

So, I am having all the same issues as others, but something I am seeing does not seem to match others. 

I have both versions of Photoshop installed (regular and Beta)

When I go to Lightroom to specify which version of Photoshop I want to handle external Photoshop editing, there is always just one option. I cant choose between Photoshop or the Beta version. 

I would totally be willing to send layers to the regular version of Photoshop and only use the Beta for Generative fill, but I cant seem to specify that at all. 

Hi All,

First time poster. I've been dealing with issues opening images from LRC (v 12.4) in Photoshop Beta (v 25.0)

I'm met with a string of error messages ranging form "files cannot be editied, PS Beta cannot be launched, so various files are damaged yadda ya. Upon the recommendation from this forum, I downgraded PS Beta to version 24.7 which worked for a while, until I staretd receiving error messages yesterday indicating PS Beta features like generative fill were only available in the newest updated version. So I updated again... same issue.

Will there be a bug fix sometime soon for this? Is there another workaround I'm missing in the meantime?

Thanks,

Brooke

Very well said!

Sorry, but as of Aug 15, the workaround described by CoryShubert does not work any longer. Up to today, I used Lightroom 12.4 together with Photoshop beta 24.7. Today (Aug 15) PS beta 24.7 reported that I must upgrade to beta 25.0 if I wanted to use the new PS generation tool. I installed the upgrade, but now the file handshake between LR 12.4 and PS beta 25.0 does not work as before, i.e. a TIF-file is not generated by LR and consequently does not open in PS. Please fix this asap.

A previously existing feature such as opening from Lightroom into photoshop
should work even in a beta version. Beta testing should be for new
features. It would make sense for the generative fill to be buggy in the
beta version. Totally understandable. It’s a new feature. Opening from
Lightroom into photoshop is an OLD feature and therefor should not be buggy
even in a beta version of a software release. The beta version should never
have been released with this bug. It’s sloppy programming and sloppy
testing. There is such thing as an alpha version of a program. This is an
alpha type of bug that should’ve been noticed and taken care of before a
beta release. A beta release is to test new features. If you break other
components that make testing the new features virtually impossible, your
beta testing is kinda useless. What’s going on here is absolutely not
normal software engineering procedure. Don’t give them a pass because it’s
beta. They 100% put out a program with alpha problems. --
Thank you!

Foto vanuit LR naar photoshop gaat ineens niet meer?

Photo sent from LRc 12.4 to PS 24.7 not opening after latest update to both LRc and PS Apple Silicon. PS updated camera raw 15.  Massively frustrating.  Won't open any RAW, jpg or tiff file from LRc on PS or PS (beta) latest update.  Reloading both PS and LRc doest fix.  Updating has broken both my Apple Studio with M1 max and my MBP with M1 Max. Both running Venture13.4.1 (c).  When attempt to send RAW file to PS from LRc no longer get the copy with LR edits dialogue, PS or PS beta open to the home screen and does noting.  No photo in single or multiple layers (for multiple photos to stack or blend for composite).  I can open from PS for files on my local drive or my Adobe Cloud just fine but can no longer round trip from LRc!

I think this is a technical problem and reported as such but no response that I can find.

Thanks for the workaround. For me it works partly, since it reproduces the error I posted here:
"Edit in Photoshop" setting not working properly 

I have made two export presets. One for the productive version and one for the beta verwion. Both open up the PS version that is open in the background (if there's one) or the last version that I had opened manually. Here's a screenshot of the export preset settings: 

Well now the generative stuff has stopped working on 24.7 so there is no choice than to update without being able to open in layers 

on my system the beta version installed itself without me volunteering for it ,and it became the default, i had to remove it
