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.

      When I edit my photos in Lighroom and I want to pull them into Photoshop, I will *right click, choose ‘edit in’ and then ‘edit in photoshop’. I choose ‘edit a copy with lighroom adjustments’. In the past I have had no issues with pulling in dozens of photos at once to edit. However, after the newest ps update a week ago, if I pull more than one photo into ps as described above it will crash the app. It will also pop up the raw editing window which used to not happen. I have changed nothing with my workflow or settings, the only change is the new ps update. Any bug fix in sight or work around? This unfortunately is slowing my workflow way down.

      Hello Adobe,

      I lost quite some time with this issue of denoise and Photoshop.

      Why can you guys test things better before releasing?

      I am relying quite too much on Lightroom Classic and Photoshop for my workflow.

      Kind regards

        Looks like the same issue as Lightroom Classic then.

        IT would be great to have this fixed as 3+ Weeks later it hasn't been resolved. This has not been great.

        It’s not specific for open as layers. A single denoised file also doesn’t open.

            I have been having trouble exporting files from Lightroom Classic (15.5.1) into Photoshop (27.10.0). If the raw file has been denoised in LRC it won’t open when I export to Photoshop. I am on MacOS and the files were taken on a Nikon Z8.

            Are you talking about Lightroom or Lightroom Classic? There is a long thread in the Lightroom Classic forums about this. It only concerns denoised images and MacOS, but open as smart object does work. If not Lightroom Classic, then please mention which versions of Lightroom and Photoshop, on what platform and your hardware specs.

              And for that matter, any AI process like, denoise, raw details and super resolution. If any of these process is applied, open as layers in photoshop will not work
