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.

There are some issues regarding to send images to Photoshop.

Do you’re using AI Denoise in Lightroom before send to Photoshop? if yes, then see here:

Yes. All of these are my problem. Will there be a new release that will resolve this?

... Will there be a new release that will resolve this?

Maybe, maybe not. Adobe doesn’t annouce which fixes or new function will be integrated in the next updates. Also they say nothing about the release dates.

In November will be the next Adobe MAXX conference. I’m sure that at this date a few new versions will be released.

In the meantime we have to be patient and wait.

In photoshop 27, photos do not open in photoshop. photoshop opens but nothing opens in it. This is not a problem in v26.x.

Had the same Issue! Talked to at least 4 adobe agents which CLOSED chat while talking… Finally after 5-6 days of researching I’ve REMOVED images from LRC, re-import them and worked!

I can’t believe that after updates and over a month of this problem it has not been fixed yet, if I apply raw details into LRC it won’t open with “edit with” in LRC, it would work with PSbeta but not on the regular one, come on Adobe, there is competition out there!!!

Hi - I have the same issue running macOS 27.0.1, LR Classic v 15.6 and PS 27.11. I noticed that if you deselect Denoise but leave raw details it also doesn't open in PS. I have a workshop coming up next week and wanted to make sure of a few things.

there is no current fix other than downgrading to 27.9.1 ?
How do you re-apply the raw details enhancement after saving in PS and sending back to LR.

Thanks,

Brent

@Santi27959058yo1q The first thing I would do is look at Lightroom Settings, Command K to open it’s prefernces - External Editing - Photoshop version: Adpbe Photoshop 2026. If it looks correct, try selecting a different application temporarily, close Lightroom, reopen it, then reselect Photoshop.

I would then do a few simple tests to determine whether the handoff to Photoshop is working correctly. Next, I would reset Photoshop's preferences (Command K), sign out of and back into the Creative Cloud app, and then test the workflow using a brand-new Lightroom catalog with a single photo.

Finally, I would check whether Lightroom is actually creating the TIFF or PSD file when using Edit in Photoshop. In my experience, these steps resolve the majority of Lightroom-to-Photoshop communication issues that can occur after Adobe application updates.

Hi! many thanks for your attention to my problem. Indeed I already made the steps you mentioned, but I have discovered that this issue is related to a specific picture. If I try with different photos I have no problem. I do not understand. The picture does exist in the right folder. Have you any suggestions? I used it before to create a panoramic picture so it was “stacked” in lightroom. I “unstacked” it before reeding. I don’t know if this could be the source of the problem. Thanks again

@Santi27959058yo1q if other photos open correctly in Photoshop suggests the Lightroom-to-Photoshop connection is working. That makes me think ithis image or its metadata may have become corrupted. Since the photo was previously used in a panorama and was part of a stack, the stack or catalog information could also be involved. You could try saving the metadata to the file (Metadata > Save Metadata to File), then reimport the photo into Lightroom. Another option is to remove the photo from the catalog without deleting it from the disk and then import it again.

You can also try opening the original file directly from Finder in Photoshop, or exporting it as a new TIFF and opening that file in Photoshop. If the TIFF works, the issue is likely with the original file, its metadata, or its Lightroom catalog entry.

I just discovered that if I “remove” from the editing applied to that specific picture the “super resolution”, It is properly opened in Photoshop! So this is clearly a bug of last release of Photoshop or in the interaction between last releases of LrC and Photoshop! Many thanks for your attention. Indeed i had the problem with a specific picture so it has to be related to the editing applied to that picture. I hope this can be of help also to you
