P: "Edit-in" in Lightroom Classic broken after Photoshop 25.0 update

When I select "open as layers in PS" from LR this used to work until recently. Now all that happens is the PS app opens to the home page but no images are ever uploaded at all. I have restarted my computer, shut down LR and PS, and tried again, and still nothing. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

That reset worked. Thank you.

Hi,

I am on Mac OS and have the latest update to Photoshop 2024 with the new Generative AI tools.

I'm trying to Edit in Photoshop from Lightroom Classic, and apart from being able to open Photoshop, right click, Edit in Photoshop 2024, is not working at all.

I have checked my preferences in Lightroom and Photoshop 2024 is selected.

Thank you.

I am with the same problem.

Photoshop 2024 does start - but does not show the (RAW) Photo.

My workaround: edit with Luninar -> abbord.

This creates a TIFF file. And a TIFF file can be edited in PS2024.

Of course. But then it's necessary to give the beta a different name so they can be distinguished from each other in LR and in the computer's system--or anywhere at all.

@MPDAEF its because the beta is technically the "latest" update.

Adding one more comment: If both PS and PS beta are installed, deleting
the beta seems to remove any link between PS and LRC. In other words, if
the beta is installed, that's the version recognized as 2024 by LR, and
there's no way to get it to recognize that there's also a non-beta
version. The only way to reestablish the link between PS and LRC that I've
found is to uninstall both PS versions and reinstall ONLY the non-beta.

I did that and I believe I reported that the Lr to PS workflow functions
properly.

But now there's no way to use both PS and PS beta on the same computer
(which we've been doing up until the latest PS update). As I just wrote
elsewhere, it's possible that this problem arises because both PS and the
beta seem to be called PS 2024. (The beta has been 2024, but PS was 2023
until the update.)

I am more and more convinced that the problem stems from both versions
having the same number.

The two links below are to previous fixes for the above problem that would
work IF the current Beta had its own name/number. As it is, there's no way
to find the second version to put it into the preferences.

Hi @MPDAEF

Thank you for sharing your workflow. Could you please uninstall both Photoshop versions from your machine, restart your device, and only reinstall Photoshop 25.0, the regular one, and check if that helps resolve the problem?

Thanks,

Mohit

My beta opens, but the only way I can get a photo into the non-beta is to
open PS first.

Perhaps the problem begins with both versions being called PS 2024, so the
system has no way to distinguish them from each other????

There used to be a way to have both PS and PS beta listed in the external
editing preferences in LR. Then you can choose which one to use whenever
you want to. Whichever one is selected in the preferences is the one that
opens with "edit in" or Ctrl-E, and it can readily be switched in the LR
preferences..There's a YouTube video somewhere that tells how to arrange
this, and I'll post a link if I can find it again.
