P: Photoshop 27.10: "Edit in Photoshop" from Lightroom Classic does not load image

Since today’s Photoshop 27.10 update, the “Edit in Photoshop” command in Lightroom Classic 15.5.1 is not working anymore for me. Photoshop opens automatically as before (if it’s not open yet) but no image is being loaded. Downgrading Photoshop to 27.9.1 resolves the issue and the “Edit in Photoshop” functionality is back to normal. I also tried to change the external editing file format from TIFF to PSD or PSB but this didn’t make any difference. Anyone else facing the same issue?

I’m running macOS Tahoe 26.6.2. Closing and re-opening LRC and PS didn’t solve the problem, rebooting the machine also didn’t show any effect.

P.S.: I posted this in the Photoshop forum as well

Hi everyone,

Thank you for the detailed reports and reproductions here. It has been really helpful in isolating the issue quickly. I’ve filed this for the engineering teamto investigate and prioritize.

In the meantime, here are confirmed workarounds:

Downgrade to Photoshop 27.9.1 via the Creative Cloud app (Other versions > 27.9.1).
Alternatively: Temporarily disable Denoise in Lightroom Classic before sending to Photoshop, then re-apply back in Lightroom, or it using Camera Raw as a filter inside Photoshop.

We understand this disrupts a core editing workflow and appreciate your patience. We'll update this thread as we have more information.

No solution from me, just want to ask if you watched/checked Activity Monitor. On my system, LrC 15.5.1 is using 6.8GB of my 8GB MacAir RAM. Ps 27.10.0 is using 4.2GB. The 11GB is Unified, I assume.

But my image did open during LrC->Ps. Exiting without making edits is prompting “Save changes...before closing?” which is new.

What often works in a situation like this is uninstalling both Lightroom Classic and Photoshop (keep the preferences so this will go smooth and easy) and then first installing Photoshop and then Lightroom Classic. The order is important!

Thanks for your suggestion, JohanElzenga. What’s the preferred way to do this? I not only want to keep all my preferences but also my plugins, panels, actions, etc. that are installed for both Lightroom and Photoshop. Is there an easy way to keep all these and still uninstall / reinstall both apps without losing anything?

@JustCallMeDrew If you directly reinstall PS and LrC the settings are retained.

If you first uninstall the application you would be ask if you like to keep the preferences.
