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.

        Should've been fixed by now. Even better if they hadn't released it in this state in the first place. Happening too often.

              I have the latest versions of LRC and Photoshop running on a Mac mini M4 pro, the latest update will not open an image in photoshop using the edit-in option, photoshop launches if not open or comes active if in background but then just stalls, I have un-installed both apps and re-installed also re-set all preference files in both apps.. this used to work before the latest update!

              I downgraded, to PS 27.9.1
              And disabled Denoise, I just imported a raw NEF file, with no edits, presets,
              But the problem still persists, it takes 2-4 minutes, then this error popup shows in LRC
              And then eventually opens up in Adobe Photoshop. 
              This can really disrupt a decent workflow that you already have.

              Open As Layers in Photoshop fails if all the files have AI Denoise applied. (By failed, I mean Photoshop opens but the layers do not load).

              Open As Layers in Photoshop causes Photoshop to crash if one of the files has AI Denoise applied but the others do not. (By crash, I mean Photoshop opens an error report log but Photoshop is then inactive and the error report cannot be sent. Force Quit is the only way out of Photoshop).
               

              To recreate:

              1. Highlight two or more .CR2 RAW files in Lightroom Classic which do not have AI denoise applied.
              2. Open as Layers in Photoshop to confirm everything works as expected
              3. Apply AI Denoise to one file and then synch the denoise with the other/s. 
              4. Highlight all synched files and Open as Layers in Photoshop. Photoshop opens but Layers do not load.
              5. Back in LrC, reverse the AI Denoise in the history state (all files) or just turn off Denoise for every file.
              6. Highlight all files (which now have no Denoise), Open as Layers in Photoshop for the same images. Everything works as expected.
              7. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to toggle the problem back on.

              If only one file has Denoise and the others do not then Photoshop crashes as described above. 

              LrC 15.5.1, Camera Raw 18.5.1. PS 27.10.0

              This could be related to this problem.
