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'm on Mac OS Ventura 13.5.  Cannot open multiple files as layers or individual files in Photoshop 24.4 from Lightroom Classic 12.4.

Its the same with W11. I shall drop back to PS24.7 for the time being pending a patch to fix it.

This remains an issue after installing the update to PS Beta released earlier today.

And oddly it opens it as a TIFF immediately. That's not normal.

Tell me, the regular process creates no TIFF and seems to work on the RAW file.  Correct?  I had to create a custom editor in the past to open normal PS, and it creates a TIFF.  Is that bad?

Ich habe das Problem mit Lightroom, weil ich keine Bilder mehr zu PS weitergeben kann! Hast du dafür eine Lösung? Das wäre so toll!

Cory, thanks for your great engagement here.  It happens whether PS 2024 beta is put in a custom slot or if it's in the primary selectable PS slot that is automatically created.  ONE OTHER IMPORTANT THING IS THAT WHEN IT ENDS UP OPENING SOMETIMES AFTER THE ERROR MESSAGE, IT CREATES A TIFF FILE BEFOREHAND AND LOADS THAT IN LIGHTROOM'S FILMSTRIP.  Photoshop doesn't do that normally.  It works on the RAW file usually, and doesn't create a TIFF unless you ask it to save the file.

To add more detail to this discussion:

If I try to open RAWs, DNGs or HEICs, if PS Beta is not open, it will open but the document will not open. This doesn't appear to happen with PSDs, JPEGs, TIFFs or PNGs. (PSB files struggle but finally open.)

I've uninstalled and reinstalled both the release version and the beta version. I tell LRC to open in PS 2024 (beta) and the program will launch but RAWs will not open.

After last update now I can't export my raw file from Lightroom to Photoshop 2024 or BETA (25.0) directly.  I received a message like this:  THE FILE COULD NOT BE EDITED BECAUSE ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 2024 COULD NOT BE LAUNCHED.

 

Now, both Lightroom and PS are opened.  When I go to edit in and hit Adobe Photoshop 2024 the PS screen comes up (or open if PS is not already up) but the photo won't load.  After a minute if I go to LR the above message appears.  When I close the message, then the photo open in PS.

Hi @fotografiamoreno, I can confirm after testing this I got the same error. Photoshop wasn't open to begin with, but it did launch correctly from Lightroom. It hung up for a while, but the CR2 file never opened. After a minute or two, the error message popped up in Lightroom. I tried several workarounds without success so far. (Lightroom Classic 12.4; Photoshop 24.7; Windows 10 Pro)

I put it on the beta area.  Same issue, AND it makes regular PS fail after that.  I just deinstalled beta and will do without it until fixed.
