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.

@Tineke31666727rvbj , please post meaningful screenshots (obviously not in tabbed view) including the pertinent Panels to clarify how you are combining the two images.

Still does not work. When I do that (copy paste the image to the other document) I still get the same image in the document as a result. Smart object does not work either. Is there no solution for this? Because now it is impossble to do a face swap at all.

Can report this is still broken. 

 

Open as smart object layers in particular.

When I try to open 2 photos as layers in Photoshop from Lightroom I get only 1 image as 2 layers. It is not possible to see the 2 different photos in Photoshop. 
I would like to do a face swap, but that's not possible at this moment becuase it does not open as layers. 

I use the latests version from Photoshop version 25.0 and Lightroom classic 12.5 

 

Thank you in advance.

I'm confused- "I get only 1 image as 2 layers"...."it does not open as layers".

Do you mean you want two separate documents to open (perhaps as separate Tabs or windows).?

 

For separate documents in Ps-  In Lightroom-Classic simply select the two (or more) images and [Ctrl+E] [Edit in Photoshop].

 

If you [Open as Layers] then you do get one document and you would need to use masking and move or transform, to position one face in the top layer over the lower layer.

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

I mean I select 2 images in Lightroom and click at "open as layers in Photoshop" 
Then I get 2 layers, but with 1 image, not with 2. I need 2 layers with 2 different layers to do the face swap indeed. 
It still does not work unfortunately..

Photoshop Beta 25.1.0

Macbook Pro - 16 inch 2019

Mac OS - Ventura 13.5.1 (22G90)

 

Updated to Beta 25.1 after completely uninstalling 25.0. Tried to 'edit in' from Lightroom. As with 25.0, the Beta 25.1.0 would open but file would not. After about 5 minutes I received a error message that the file could not be open because Beta failed to launch. After closing th error box, the file would then, in fact, appear. Exactly the same issue as 25.0.

@RichardJPhotography  It looks like something may be up on your system

Since the recent LR update I have no problem here going from Lightroom to PS Beta (shown as PS2024) or PS production shown as PS2023

The whole purpose of a Beta release is to get code with potential bugs into a larger user base so that people will identify and report the things that are broken. Then they get fixed prior to general release. 

Working professionals understand the risks of using beta code and don't put their primary work at risk by switching to beta software in their front line setup. Betas are best tested outside of critical work with non critical backup systems.

Good morning, I have the latest Lightroom Classic version 12.5 and Photoshop 24.7.0 on my Mac. In the meantime I had once installed the Photoshop Beta. I have uninstalled the beta again. Since then I can transfer the images from Lightroom to Photoshop for editing. However, when I want to save these images, this no longer automatically goes back to Lightroom. I have to specify a save location again each time.
Can anyone help me?

Okay, Adobe, are we giving up the farm?

After the Adobe PS Beta snafu update that still has not been fixed. Now when we update LR, cannot flip to PS 2023 or PS beta. No file found.

THIS IS GETTING REDICULOUS

Adobe, is anyone testing these updates? Really? anyone?

Last two updates fro LR and PS Beta are physical disaters.

Are you pushing everyone to Capture one?

You talk about 'we' but everything works as expected on my MBP M1 Max and MacOS Ventura 13.5.1. I notice your still use MacOS 13.4.1 so I would start by updating MacOS, for your own security. Maybe that solves this problem too because it sounds like this could be an issue with the MacOS LaunchServices database. You never know!
