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.

since the last update of photoshop, if I now choose edit from lightroom --> 
it says photoshop 2024, when I click on it opens photoshop beta,
but the photo is not loaded. I stay at the welcome screen of photoshop. Anyone have a solution for this?

Waiting the bug fixing by Adobe I'm back to version 2023 24.6 wich works fine under MAC Ventura.

Daniel, must be another bug because a Colin Smith youtube video using Mac showed him able to switch between Beta and "regular" PS in external editing.  So he has a machine where it works and most other folks it seems do not.  But that's beta!  Thanks.

Yes it does happen on a Mac, exactly in hte same way you describe.
Terry White just shows a way around to continue using the last Photoshop versions using the Lightroom edits without having to wait for ages for the file to open up in Photoshop.

This is a reply to Daniel Cilia.  Thanks for the tip and it's very interesting but it does not address my original note that started this humungus thread.  Simply, on a Windows machine, once you install PS Beta, it takes over the "edit in Photoshop" and will not allow one to list both versions of PS in the external editing preferences.  That's all I was looking for and all these other issues are, well, other issues!  It seems with Mac this does not happen but it does with Windows so if anybody has a fix for this, and this only, problem, I'll keep wading through all the other posts hoping to see it.

Terry White from Adobe (as always) found a way around the bug!

Having same issue.  Cannot open in Ps 24.7 (not using Beta) from Lr 12.4 using MacOS Ventura 13.2.1.

Good evening
I have a problem with LGT release 12.4 ( imac 21 M1)
from lightroom I try to edit in photoshop, before it opened photoshop with the photo to edit, now it opens photoshop but not the photo to edit. what has changed? what should I do ?
before it interacted perfectly and when the work was completed it imported the modified photo as a Tiff copy (preferences) in the LGT catalog
