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.

SAME problem here (version 24.7.0)! Every 2nd or 3rd image my photoshop freezes when I open Camera Raw. A small window pops up (progress bar), but then it freezes. The only solution is to force quit and then repoen photoshop. This is extremely frustrating, as it slows my workflow and I only can work on 2 or 3 images before the next forced quit. Meanwhile I save the image before opening Camera Raw, as a lesson of many lost hours of unsaved editing. 

I already tried all the preferences settings in https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html but it didn´t fix the problem.

PLEASE ADOBE, HELP!!!

When I use E or the dropdown menu to transfer a photo from Lightroom Classic to Photoshop Beta, it starts Photoshop but the file transfer does not happen. After some seconds, I get a message in Lightroom which says “The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop (beta) could not be Launched.” This is false because it has launched Photoshop. Also, as soon as I hit OK on that message from Lightroom, it switches to Photoshop and the file has been transferred.

This does not happen with any of the other plugins (Topaz or ON1). I have already uninstalled Photoshop Beta and reinstalled it. No difference. This transfer worked fine until yesterday.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions?

Thanks
Rob

sometning i don't understand is why LRC doesn't open image in PS, because we all have the same error message, and after 2 or 3 attemps, 2 or 3 minutes, finally the image popup in PS or PS Beta,  so it should be easy for Adobe to fix that, i guess we will have new LRC, PS and PS Beta soon, hope these version won't create any new problem. It would be kind from Adobe to make a discount on every clients next payment...

PS Beta V 25.0 will no longer open photos for editing from LR V 12.4 when using MAC OS Ventura 13.5. The following error message is displayed:  The file could not be edited because PS Beta could not be launched.

On the surface of it beta became 25.0 or 2024. Maybe something doesn't connect anymore. It wasn't great but now it just stops us from working.

Latest LR here on Windows 11 with both PS updated to 24.7 and beta 25 just 2 days ago. Since then I can't "Edit in Photoshop" any more. I can manually configure old PS via custom preset and that works. 

It launches the app but no images are loaded and then minutes later LR starts to complain that PS wasn't loaded, etc, sometimes this fancy error. And then it loads that file. Hardly tolerable at all when you need to do work.

I am having the same issue with not being able to launch a photo in Photoshop Beta 25.0 from the edit in feature in Lightroom Classic. I, too, have found the file will open approximately 2 minutes later after receiving the error message and clicking 'Ok'.

The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop (Beta) could not be launched. 

I have also found that reverting to 24.7 allows the photo to be launched in Beta. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 25.0 multiple times. Yesterday, I stumbled upon something that might be the cause. However, I have not been able to replicate it. After uninstalling 25.0 I noticed that my Mac's dock contained the '?' indicating the location of the previous Phtoshop beta icon. However, at the right end of the dock there was another Photoshop Beta icon with a dot underneath indicating it was still open. (This was after it had been uninstalled.) I clicked on the icon and Photoshop Beta opened. I opened Creative Cloud and it showed that Photoshop Beta 25.0 (and previous versions) were available to be installed. So, it appears that multiple programs existed on my my MAC. I closed the program and 'quit' the application from the dock. I thoroughly searched my computer and could not find any other reference, files, apps that indicated Photoshop Beta still existed or was installed. I reinstalled 25.0 and the original issue repeated itself. At this point I have decided to give up and be happy with 24.7 for the time being. However, I was really excited to try out the new Expand feature in 25.0. Hopefully there is a fix, soon!
