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 just returned from a short photo trip and have a large number of photos that need to be focus-stacked in Photoshop. Everything was working when I left on Monday, but today I get an error saying, "The files could not be edited because Photoshop 2024 could not be launched." I've tried everything I know to overcome this. I've:

  • I've tried launching PS first before I try to send files from LR.
  • Rebooted
  • Uninstalled and reinstalled both LR and PS, ensuring that PS was reinstalled before LR.
  • I've reset my LR preferences.
  • I've also searched through this forum without finding an answer for why this is no longer working.

Does anyone have any ideas? (My computer and software details are below.)


Thanks!


Erik

It looks like PS just updated for me. It now won't open a file from LRC to PS, any fix for this?

Also, just spend time on several images & it did not save my work - back to LR nor anywhere else. GRR

LR will not open photos in PS, PS opens but the image never populates, can drag an image to PS from LR but when done it does not save properly- rewrites over the original image instead of creating a new file

Hi,

I've followed the advice given elsewhere - uninstalled LRC and PSbeta keeping preferences for both - restarted machine. Then reinstalled Photoshop Beta first - follwed by LRC  and there has been a slight improvement.

If I try to edit from LRC using the Copy of original image then the file will open in PS beta as normal.

However, if you try to Edit in PSbeta with LRC adjustments applied then the computer hangs and eventually opens the file after a few minutes.

I hope this helps.... I'm sure that Adobe will be on this one and an update solution will hopefully not be far away.

Danny - I'm on 24.7.0 for photoshop. I ran the beta update this morning, but I haven't been using the Beta program. I uninstalled Beta this morning to try and rule it out as the issue. Now I just have Lightroom 12.4 and Photoshop 24.7.0 installed and still having the issue.
