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 posted this in the Camera Raw section but figured it may beling in the photoshop section...

Since the recent update of Camera Raw to 15.5, I have not been able to "Edit in... Photoshop 2023" with certain images. I never had problems until the recent update. I tried uninstalling the beta version of photoshop in case there was some confusion on paths... but that did not help. I can still compelete this task with any JPG or TIF as long as I click "edit orginial file" or a copy of the original... I cannot complete this task with any RAW files or if I try to edit "a copy with lightroom adjustments" with the Jpgs/tifs. Photoshop will open (or pop up), but the image will not appear.

Sounds like you have not tried my work around. Opening file in PS 2023 from LR before trying tooot open in it in PS 2024 beta. I posted the recipe numerous times. It works 100% of the time.  

To set it up so that both PS versions work in Adobe Lightroom. In preferences select as your second open as navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2023\ and select Photoshop.EXE.

  1. To edit a file right click and select edit in then click Photoshop.exe then click Edit a copy with LR adjustments.
  2. Close PS and it will save the file to Lightroom (my settings are set to save as a tiff file). You must close PS 2023.
  3. Go to edit in again and click Photoshop 2024 (first choice for open in is the beta version) then chose Edit original. You can now use beta 2025 to edit in. Do your work and close.
  4. Go back to Lightroom and if you see a window saying that it could not open the file go to File Explorer and find the tiff file that you just saved and move it to a new location or rename it. If you do not Photoshop beta will overwrite it and remove your edits.
  5. If necessary, you can right click and synchronize the folders to get your file back in Lightroom and continue editing in Lightroom beta which now recognizes that file and will open it. Opening as layers does not work. Selecting more than one wile to open works.

That is what I was saying I did. I have every box unchecked for notifications and I still keep getting them.

My workflow:
Edit the photo in Lichtroom and press CMD (or CTRL) + S to save the metadata when youre done.
Drag the photo from Lightroom to Photoshop. It wil open in Camera Raw. Click Open.
When youre done editing save the photo in the same location as a PSD or TIFF
In Lightroom go to the Library, right click on the folder and choose Synchronise Folder to import the saved PSD or TIFF in Lightroom.

Super frustrated with the updated version of Ps (Beta). I've read through multiple discussions about this topic and have tried EVERY suggestion to fix it and still theres a minute and 47sec delay before I recieve a popup, to only be able to click "okay" and then an added 20 seconds later be brought to Ps (Beta). 

 

This has become a huge part of my workflow and is hindering valuable time for me. Someone needs to fix this ASAP PLEASE!!!! I cannot have a 2 minute delay between photos while editing...

  1. after right clicking on an image in Lightroom Classic and selecting " edit in photoshop 2024" about 20* I'm eventually met with the original " what to edit " menu with options
    " Edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments"
    " edit a copy "
    " Edit original "
    And then it will allow me to edit in Photoshop and save back to lightroom.


    In my limited understanding of programming it looks like the " what to edit " menu is broken.

Go to your account settings in the Adobe Cloud application. It’s under Notifications. Look around. You’ll see you are probably asking to be notified when posts are made to this thread.
