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

I just recently updated Photoshop Beta to 2024 v25.0 on my Windows 11 machine.

 

Now when I try to open photos from LR 12.4 using the "edit in...", it hangs up for a time and then comes up saying "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop 2024 could not be launched."

 

When I hit "Ok" it then opens the file in Photoshop 2024. 

 

This happens with every file, even if Photoshop 2024 is already up and running at the time. 

 

This does not happen with 2023 v24.7.

What you pay for is the finished product. And that is not the Beta. That you install the Beta and want to use (read test) new features is completely voluntary. But be awere that there can be bugs.

Dear Mr Moneypants. You write something right..."it's a beta" but maybe you forget that we pay for this beta also, as we pay for lightroom, as we pay for photoshop. We are not talking about wrong exporting from third part software, we are talking about an Adobe software that no more function with another Adobe software, after they did something (wrong).

Downgrading Ps beta was not a perfect solution but it worked. Now Adobe delete generative fill from the old version (why?!?!?) so everyone have no more solution and that is.

Thanks RichPolk, I hadn't thought about addressing the problem this way via export, but it works for me.

Much appreciated.

You're being rude and suggesting me to be polite ? very strange... 

all i did was pointing to a problem in the beta version. i did not demand anything. 

or maybe you suggest we all should say thanks to adobe and not point to any issues that exist in the software ?

You do know what a Beta release is, don't you? A number of us are frustrated that some of the features are buggy, but you are not entitled to a perfectly working Beta. I use the word 'entitled' very deliberately.
At least Adobe actually tests their software before full commercial release. They are aware of the problem and are working on it. The world does not owe you a generative fill feature, so perhaps the polite approach would be worth trying.

@CShubert hi. from LR, edit in PS did not work for me as well on ver 25. I downgraded to ver 24.7 and it works fine but now, when i try to use the generative fill it says i cannot cause i need ver 25. 

a kind of catch 22 here...

Dear Support Team, what are you doing?!?!?!?!?!?!

Until 13th August I had to downgrade my PS version and Beta version as you pinned.

Now you upgrade everything and....NOTHING WORKS. From 14th August the generative fill on PS Beta 24.7 has been removed, so I must upgrade PS Beta to 25.0 and...AGAIN from lightroom it is no possible anymore open a fine into PS Beta.
So...now...I cannot downgrade PS because generative fill doesn't work and with PS Beta 25 doesn't work. What are you doing for solve this matter without generate (fill) new problems to your customers?
Now I downgrade Lightroom and it seems it's working...but you know, this is not a solution.

I Re installed Photoshop 23 version 24.6 and I get brushes and images open fine from Lightroom. The Remove Tool however does not work. Brushes in Select and Mask modes work which is the biggest issue for me. 

Reinstalled PS Beta 24.7 as per pinned message in Photoshop Community Help. Beta does not have functioning brushes in the Select and Mask module however images open from Lightroom. The Remove Tool does not work in Beta 24.7 so the work around is dissapointing to say the least. I hope that all the tools will be restored soon so that I can get back to enjoying my photography. 

Best

All updates up to date (Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, Camera RAW). 
After choosing "edit in Photoshop" screen switches to Photoshop (or opens Photoshop) but the image doesn't open. Just nothing happens.
Any ideas?

As of today, this fix was working for me. However, since this morning, when I try to use generative fill, the progress bar gets to about halfway before disappearing.  A message prompting me to upgrade "before using this feature" then pops up.

Update: rolled back my lightroom instead of photoshop25.0. It works now. 

This is the fix: Thank you so much for this, life saver 

@UNFOTONY 's solution works:  If you roll back Lightroom to version 12.2.1, then exporting to Photoshop Beta 25.0 works fine.
