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.

It is not possible to select and open photos from Lrc in PS . It can only be done as a smart object, or direct from the hd location. 

1 App version 12.4

2 OS Ventura 13.4.1

3 Open in ps 

4 That selected file opens in PS

Nach dem Entwickeln in LRC 12,5 und Bearbeiten in Photoshop 2023 (Vers. 24.7.0) startet zwar Photoshop, aber es wird kein Bild angezeigt.

If you have installed Photoshop Beta 25.0 it's a known issue.

You  can rollback to Beta version 24.7

 

I've heard about this issue also about systems there's no Beta installed, especially MacOS systems.

In this case try this: Use the Adobe Creative Cloud Application to uninstall Photoshop. When asked, keep preferences! After this reinstall Photoshop again.

If this doesn't help the nest step is to reinstall both apps Lightroom and Photoshop. Please follow the steps below:

1. Open the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Client and uninstall both Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. When asked, keep preferences! 

2. Install Photoshop first and then Lightroom Classic. The right order is very important here!

 

If this doesn't help try the reinstallation with removing the preferences also.

 

If this also doesn't help try to rollback to Photoshop 24.6

Hi, Axel Matt, you don't even have to open the file manually as there is an option at the bottom of the export setup where you can open PS beta once the export is complete. All credit to RichPolk who originally posted this workaround.
Export as a .pdf , you can even tick the add to catalogue option which will be updated when you close the working file. It's a great temporary fix until Adobe come up with a proper solution.

Thanks for the info. I had tried the export first on the fly, because I'm busy on the last days. In the meantime I've already see this option and I'm try to optimize this workaround.

When is this going to be fixed?  If you roll back to 24.7 to open images in photoshop beta, then you can't use Generative Fill.  If you upgrade to version 25, then you can't open images from Lightroom Classic.

I have PS and LRC up to date and still get that error message.

As per RichPolk to Export the file, you can also use.tiff if that is what you are used to.

Just as the subject states...... I can no longer "edit" in Photoshop from LR. Nothing has changed on my hardware or software. 

I installed PS beta weeks ago, so that's not the issue. I'm changed preferences in LR to try and launch PS beta vs PS but the result is the same.

And I've tried the standard fixes of reboot, re-install, use pinky finger on the mouse, and much much more. All I need is the damn thing like it was before Adobe "fixed/updated" the S!#$%!

Can't seem to find a way to edit my original message. Maybe someone can add that to my help ticketssssss.

*** Trying to edit photos from LR classic to PS(latest update) opens PS but not the actual raw(nef) image. all CC updates have been applied.

Also,  Is it possible to edit a post? This seems pretty basic even for Adobe

Posting this in hopes in can be fixed; newest version of PS Beta (25.0) is now seen by Lightroom Classic (ver. 12.4) as Adobe Photoshop 2024. This breaks the "edit in" different program feature of LR, as now when I try to send an image over for work in a different program, I get the error from LR that the program Adobe Photoshop 2024 couldn't be opened/found. I have researched online and tried uninstalling/reinstalling, as well as playing with prefences and settings within both programs to no avail.

This issue severly limits my editing flow and ability to switch back and forth between programs. The only reason I am not running the older version of PS Beta (24.7 I believe) is because the Gen AI feature became unresponsive in that version and is only working for me in the newest version 25.0

Thank you guys so much for looking into this bug! Windows 10 Pro OS 64bit

 

1. Lightroom Classic 12.4, Photoshop Beta 25.0

 

2. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

 

3. Open LR Classic, select photo, right click, "Edit in", pop up menu will show as my screenshot did. Other versions of PS you have installed will appear in drop down, but one of them and attempting the edit in feature still attempted to open Adobe PS 2024 first, then opened my photo after much delay in the other version of PS. Was able to save photo back after it was opened in this second version after intial error message, but takes forever. About 1-2 minutes for error to appear and then launches other PS version and opens image immediately.

 

4. Expected result is for photo to open in correct version of PS Beta (25.0), and for LR Classic to recognize PS Beta 25.0 as Adobe Photoshop 2023 or whatever it was in the version before this one (PS Beta 24.7 vs 25.0).

Actual result; I get an error as posted in my image, click OK, then image immediately opens in other working version of PS. Seems as if lightroom is searching for PS 2024, not finding it and rendering error, and then falling back to actual version of PS Beta (25.0) Basically, image does not open as it should upon first click and instead produces error which must be cleared, and then image is opened in the correct version of PS (Beta 25 in this case as I have no other versions installed on my PC at the moment)

On the current version of LR Classic and PS Beta. Open in PS is not working correctly. PS opens, but does not open the file. Then after 5-10 attempts and a few minutes error codes occcur in LR Classic stating the following: 

 

"The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop 2024 could not be launched." 

 

Then the file opens.
