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.

I went back to PS Beta 24.7 and that solved the problem. Can now open CR files from LR in both PS and PS Beta, without any problems or creating unwanted tiff files etc.

for the person rolling back to LRC 12.2.1, did you try 12.3? Were there any issues with that and PS Beta 25.0?

If this is a Lightroom issue then someone in the Photoshop division talk to
someone in the Lightroom division. It’s the same company. Solve this,
please.

Photoshop launches but the image selected in Lightroom Classic does not open anymore. I've downloaded and attempted to install the ps picker plug in as per Adobe support but when I add it, it says it is deprecated. What does that mean? I am running current versions of LR and PS.

 

How do I get LR to open an image in PS? Worked fine before...

I am having the same issue. I don't know how to fix it and it is super frustrating. I just wanted to add that it is happening on my windows 11 PC as well.

Is is it because I have the beta version of Photoshop??

My workaround for this (which worked for me) is to roll back to the old version of LR (12.2.1). The migration issue seems to be with LR v12.4.  I see no issues with PS Beta V 25.0. Hope this helps. Cheers!

I have the most current versions of Lightroom Classic and Photoshop Beta on my desktop PC (windows 11).  I have been editing photos in both programs since last year and never had any issues using the "Edit in" command in Lightroom to send photos to Photoshop for editing.  Last week, this function stopped working.  When I attempt to send a photo from Lightroom to Photoshop for editing Photoshop opens to the “Home” screen and then I get a message a couple of minutes later that says the photo cannot be edited because Photoshop failed to launch even though it did launch.  About a minute later, the photo opens in Photoshop.  Also, when I try to open photos as layers in Photoshop, the Photoshop “Home” screen opens but the photos do not ever open there.  I just get an error message that says, “The files could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop 2024 could not be launched.”  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom Classic and Photoshop multiple times but that has not resolved the issue.  Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone have a solution?

How will we know that the highlighted update is actually the correct fix and not the buggy beta?

Cory: Are you at Adobe, working on a fix wight the current edition of Lightroom and Photoshop Beta so that users can open a photo from Lightroom into Photoshop Beta? If so, expected publication date?

Because I just had to keep going on this. I uninstalled both Lr and Ps. Rebooted. Istalled Lr. Rebooted. Installed Ps. Rebooted. Now it's back to normal.

Yes I was using Ps beta and that's when the problem started. Although I had bee running it for several weeks, this only cropped up today, I think this might have been the 1st time I ws trying to use it since the most recnt update, but don't quote me om that. I tried to open a file in Ps from Lr using CTL+E. Ps(beta) opened, but the file never did. Since I needed to get work done I started using the custom external editor option that was still pointed to Ps(non-beta).

Anyway, as I say, things seem to be back to the old status quo, and I'll just wait Until the new stuff shows up in a stable version.

Thanks
