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.

    Open as layers in Photoshop has been having some problems since 27.8 For what it's worth, I'm convinced that what we're seeing here is still part of that same problem. I reported this at 27.8, it was still broken 27.9, and now we're having issues with 27.10 Here's a link to the previous bug that I reported. 27.8 open layers in photoshop bug ​@Sameer K

    I just reinstalled 27.7. Everything is perfect. If you're looking for a workaround, that's it.

    Rolling back a version appears to have worked for the time being

    Problem gelöst. Es liegt an einem bekannten Bug beim Import von Lightroom in Photoshop 27.10.0. Beim Downgrade auf 27.4.0 war der Fehler nicht mehr da.

    In a lightroom library in which all images were taken at the same time, I found that some of the photos would open normally in PS for editing, and others would not. I tracked down that the ones that would not open in PS had been images to which I had applied the reflection removal tool in Lightroom. Taking the “tick” out of the apply reflection tool box in Lightroom allowed the photo to then be edited in PS. This is uysing the latest versions of both (LR updated 12 days ago, and PS 4 days ago.

    It works fine but slows down workflow considerably for me at least.

    In Lightroom Classic I select two or more photos and right click → edit in… → open as layers in Photoshop.

    Photoshop opens, but then before the photos are opened, photoshop freezes without errors or notifications. I can only close the application by using the task manager.

    The “Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2026” function still works. Both photos open as seperate files in Photoshop. But I would like to be able to use the open as layers in Photoshop function, because it speeds up my workflow.

    I think this bug appeared after the latest update, but I’m not certain.

    Current versions:
    LrC: 15.5.1
    Camera Raw: 18.5.1
    Photoshop: 27.10.0

    I have to go to the folder where the file is located and right click and select Open with, Photoshop.  This is REALLY slowing my processing down.

    I'm surprised Adobe haven't fixed this. It's been THREE weeks!

    Troubleshooting appears to be complicated and time-consuming.

    It’s better the fixing would be taking a longer time as the fix contains new bugs.

    We have to be patient.
