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.

Hi there,

 

I'm having issues opening images in Photoshop through Lightroom. I usually do a base edit coat in Lightroom then retouch/colour grade in Photoshop. For some reason, it stopped working when I select "edit in Photoshop". I've done everything previous forums/adobe support help including un-installing Photoshop Beta. All apps are up-to-date, this issue has gone on for a week and is significantly extending my workflow time which isn't helpful when I've got client deadlines.

As a full-time photographer, it is vital this issue is fixed asap.

I use Mac which is also up-to-date. 

Thank you for looking into this 🙂 

❤️

Everyone currently using the rollback method to solve this issue, in two days the generate feature will stop working in every pre 25.0 version. Adobe hasn't confirmed whether a fix will be issued before then, so you'll have to choose being able to use the generate feature or updating to 25.0 and losing lightroom sync.

KingNine! Go to Creative Cloud and restore PS one version back to 24.6.0 and do not uninstall the program. Now everything works as it should for me, including the Beta program.

I'm having this same issue on Mac. It takes about 5 min for LR to say it can't open PS Beta (which it already has) then when clicking OK the image appears in PS Beta. It is at this point you can LR process the image for editing in the top left corner. The issue I believe lies in LR realizing PS is running. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and it doesn't fix it. Has a fix been released?

"Edit in Photoshop" not working while using Lightroom. There is Photoshop 2024 by default and couldn't open in Photoshop 2023 which is the latest version (ver. 24.7).

Also, I cannot add any other versions of Photoshop to "Edit in Other Application" tool.

I don't know if the bug is in the updated photo shop, photoshop, beta, or Lightroom. I just want to head and installed the beta version on my desktop and have the regular version on my laptop so if I need any special removal or tools to add furniture or what have you? I will just take the file and move it to my desktop Until all problems are resolved. It took me a while to figure it out how to do that. I had to uninstall everything and reinstall it, and I can't afford to have to go through all that again when I have jobs coming up.

I agree. As this is not a user choice in that a non-functional program is Adobe’s issue, they should extend the deadline to update. Of course, if they come up with a fix before then, I’ll gladly update the software.

This is a new error I get when I select more than 4 images in LR to open in Photoshop. Maybe it helps the developers to finally fix this stupid issue
