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.

It’s a workaround I had in mind myself but still prefer to apply Denoise in Lightroom directly instead of having to work with Smart Objects in Photoshop and apply the noise reduction there in an additional step. Let’s hope, Adobe will fix the issue in the next update along with the other problems users have.

Just making you aware of a flaw in the Lightroom Classic 15.5.1 to Photoshop 27.10 file exchange/handoff. When selecting a file to be edited in PS from LRC using command+E nothing happens in PS if the CR3 file has "Raw Details" added. When deselecting the Raw Details option in LRC - the file opens in PS from LRC …. !!

lorse que je veux envoyer une image de lightroom Classic vers photoshop pour effectuer une modification ( Lightroom Classic (choisir une photo)>Modifier>ouvrir en tant qu’objet dynamique sur Photoshop) les images ne s’ouvre pas surtout sur celle ou un masque a été appliqué, toute photos non retouché s’ouvre sur photoshop mais pas celle qui sont retoucher ou qui on des masque. j’ai fais les dernières mise a jour de photoshop et lightroom classic aujourd’hui et ça ne marche pas. mais ça marchais avant.

As others have suggested - using edit in then open as a smart object in photoshop works. Even with denoise ticked.

There is a long thread about this in the Lightroom Classic forums already, with a workaround. It happens when you have used denoise on that image.

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.

Thanks for confirming. It’s safe to say that this is a definite bug now that hopefully gets resolved in the next update. I also reported it via the chat function of the Adobe help center.

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.
