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

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.

today the open in photoshop as smart object layers from lightroom quit working as did the open in photoshop from lightroom for any file. Uninstalled / reinstalled without success. All apps are latest updates. Tried on a second computer ( both Macs with current OSX ). Same problem on both. Permissions on Macs for PS and LR checked. Happy to try any other suggestions.

When I click on “Open in Photoshop 2026...”, Photoshop opens, but doesn’t open the Lightroom edited image.

 I confirmed “Full Disk Access” permissions in System Settings.

I uninstalled both programs and reinstalled. 

I reverted back to Photoshop 27.9.1 and the issue went away. 

Already reported (please check for this before posting a new thread): 

I updated to Photoshop 27.1.0 and have Lightroom Classic Vers. 15.5.1 installed and the Edit in.. Edit in Photoshop 2026 feature is not working. Neither right clicking or using Cmd-E works. The screen switches over to Photoshop but the image does not open. These are Sony RAW files. I do not have Photoshop Beta installed either. I tried uninstalling both PS and LR Classic and restarted computer and this did not work. I then re-installed Photoshop version 27.9.1 and it’s now working. Seems to be a bug. Running a Mac Studio M2 Max with Tahoe Version 26.6.2, everything up to date.

This is related to the MacOS Tahoe 26.6.2 update. I tried to reproduce this error on my MBP M1Max running Tahoe 26.6.1 and I couldn’t. Photoshop opens the image just fine, regardless of whether I have checked Denoise or not. My wife already updated her MBP to Tahoe 26.6.2 and she does see this issue exactly as described: enabling denoise means Photoshop does not open the image, disabling denoise makes Photoshop work correctly again.

So here’s a workaround that I just tested: Disable Denoise in Lightroom, open the image as smart object in Photoshop, double click the smart object to launch Camera Raw, enable denoise in Camera Raw.

can you open ps from the cc desktop app?

Ik wil een foto bewerken in photoshop vanuit lightroom, maar de foto verschijnt niet in photoshop. Tot nu toe nooit problemen mee gehad. Hoe krijg ik de foto in photoshop om te bewerken?

I seem to have similar, but stranger problem. With those with “Denoise” box checked, they open in Photoshop OK. When I do several edits, and then Stamped layer, any filter doesn’t work with it. Then if I do something else with that layer (remove) and one more stamped layer filters work alright again, and it is possible to send back to Lightroom .If I do same procedure in Photoshop from Camera Raw everything works OK with every layer. Of course there is no sending back. Smaller, but anyhow strange problem.
