P: Photoshop 27.10: "Edit in Photoshop" from Lightroom Classic & Lightroom Desktop 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.

      It does as though any sort of adjustment made in denoise, RAW details or super resolution prevents PS from reading or opening the LR image.

      I’m having the same issue. Every time I want to edit in PS all I get is the home screen.

        It’s a workaround I had in mind myself but still prefer to apply Denoise in Lightroom directly instead of having to work with Smart Objects in Photoshop and apply the noise reduction there in an additional step. Let’s hope, Adobe will fix the issue in the next update along with the other problems users have.

        lorse que je veux envoyer une image  de lightroom Classic vers photoshop pour effectuer une modification ( Lightroom Classic (choisir une photo)>Modifier>ouvrir en tant qu’objet dynamique sur  Photoshop) les images ne s’ouvre pas surtout sur celle ou un masque a été appliqué, toute photos non retouché s’ouvre sur photoshop mais pas celle qui sont retoucher ou qui on des masque. j’ai fais les dernières mise a jour de photoshop et lightroom classic aujourd’hui et ça ne marche pas. mais ça marchais avant.

        to had to my request i saw multiple people say that the issue is with denoise. in my case i can open denoise images on photoshop but any pictures where i apply a mask can not open on photoshop. 

        right now my only solution is to go back to the previous update/version

        As others have suggested - using edit in then open as a smart object in photoshop works. Even with denoise ticked.

        There is a long thread about this in the Lightroom Classic forums already, with a workaround. It happens when you have used denoise on that image.

          There is a bug in the latest update of Photoshop and Photoshop Beta. When sending an image from Lightroom to Photoshop, Photoshop opens, but the image itself does not open.

          I reverted to Photoshop version 27.9.1, and the problem disappeared.

          Another confirmed instance of this issue.

          On my Mac, both Edit in Adobe Photoshop and Open as Smart Object in Photoshop launch Photoshop, but the selected image does not open when Denoise is enabled in Lightroom Classic.

          I tested both Photoshop 2025 and Photoshop 2026 and experienced the same behaviour.

          As soon as I untick Denoise in Lightroom Classic, both the normal Edit In command and Open as Smart Object work correctly again.

          I have also confirmed the workaround: disable Denoise in Lightroom Classic, open the RAW file as a Smart Object in Photoshop, double-click the Smart Object to open Adobe Camera Raw, and apply Denoise there. This works successfully.

          This appears to confirm that the failure is specifically associated with Lightroom’s Denoise state during the Lightroom-to-Photoshop handoff.

            Thanks for confirming. It’s safe to say that this is a definite bug now that hopefully gets resolved in the next update. I also reported it via the chat function of the Adobe help center.
