P: Photoshop 27.10: "Edit in Photoshop" from Lightroom Classic & Lightroom Desktop does not load image with Denoise

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.

I am also experiencing the same issue on a Mac. Need to come back to LR, turn off Denoise, and then go into PS. Can’t apply Denoise after returning to PS, because the file is no longer a raw file.

Disable Denoise, then send the file to Photoshop as smart object. In Photoshop, double click the smart object layer. Camera Raw comes up so you can now enable Denoise in Camera Raw. If you do not want to continue editing with a smart object, then simply flatten all layers.

I'm experiencing exactly the same issue with Photoshop 27.10.0 and Lightroom Classic 15.5.1 on macOS. After applying Lightroom Denoise, selecting Edit in Photoshop launches Photoshop but the image does not load. Downgrading Photoshop to 27.9.1 resolves the problem immediately. Hope this gets fixed fast.

I have started to just import RAW files / Sony ARW into Lightroom classic then use de-noise then open in Photoshop. This seems to work so far !

I do not automatically convert my photo’s to DNG. at the moment. I can de-noise & edit in photoshop with no issues

Photoshop, please fix your bug so using denoise in Lightroom Classic will allow the photo to open in Photoshop. The 27.11.0 upgrade still hasn't addressed this,

It’s still happening. Once in awhile, randomly, a denoised raw file open in PS, but 95% of the time, it doesn’t. I’m downgrading to 27.9.1. Just waiting for the fix

I reset PS to 17.9.1 and it works fine now

Still the same problem. PS doesn’t open after using noise reduction in LR. Unbelievable.

Revert to Photoshop 27.9 until it's fixed: CC app > Photoshop > … menu > Other Versions
