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.

Closing Ps the next message came in Lr:

I am running photoshop Beta there was an upgrade today and now lightroom does not transfer photos to Photoshop choices under prefences are photoshop 2024 and photoshop 2023 neither one works first and no dialogue asking to open with lightroom edits appears if you wait a few minutes lightroom pops up a dialogue box stating that it could not open the photo in Photoshop the the photo opens in Photoshop.

I have uninstalled and reinstall all versions of lightroom and photoshop this did not resolve this issue.

 

Photoshop version 24.7.0

Photoshop Beta Version 25.0.0

 

Update if I close Beta Photoshop 2023 will open photo about 1/2 the time.

Exporting from Lightroom to the beta 25.0 doesn't work at first. You eventually get an error from Lightroom stating it's unable to launch Photoshop 2024. (Which it was either already open or it did open it.) If you close out Photoshop, and then close out the error from lightroom, it will eventually do it. Maybe.

Hi,

To install a previous version of PSBeta open CC desktop; click on Beta apps. When the screen shows "Update available" click on the 3 dots to the right of "Open" and then you will see "Other versions" - Beta 24.7 seems to be stable and works as expected. I hope that this helps.

Use the Creative Cloud Desktop app to uninstall the version or versions you currently have and ensure you select "KEEP" when prompted.  Once the PS versions you uninstalled are gone, then install the older version, like PS v24.6.  That is what worked for me.

@hchandless you should report the issue on the Photoshop (Beta) forum
