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.

    Still broken under 27.11.0. This is very disappointing - Adobe Photoshop user since ver 3.0. You used to charge for features but now I’m being charged for persistent bugs.

    I am also experiencing the same issue on a Mac. Need to come back to LR, turn off Denoise, and then go into PS. Can’t apply Denoise after returning to PS, because the file is no longer a raw file.

    Disable Denoise, then send the file to Photoshop as smart object. In Photoshop, double click the smart object layer. Camera Raw comes up so you can now enable Denoise in Camera Raw. If you do not want to continue editing with a smart object, then simply flatten all layers.

    I'm experiencing exactly the same issue with Photoshop 27.10.0 and Lightroom Classic 15.5.1 on macOS. After applying Lightroom Denoise, selecting Edit in Photoshop launches Photoshop but the image does not load. Downgrading Photoshop to 27.9.1 resolves the problem immediately. Hope this gets fixed fast.

    Thank you, Per, for your information. I’m glad to know Denoise seems to be the culprit. I had uninstalled and reinstalled LrC and Ps previously. Edits from LrC transferred to Ps only if Denoise wasn't used. I could also copy it back to LrC without a hitch. Any file with an edit involving Denoise did not work. 
    For now, I’m not going to revert in the hope that a fix will be along soon. I’ll do the denoising in either Luminar or Topaz. There are other editors, and I think Adobe needs to know this.

    I have started to just import RAW files / Sony ARW into Lightroom classic then use de-noise then open in Photoshop. This seems to work so far !

    Photoshop, please fix your bug so using denoise in Lightroom Classic will allow the photo to open in Photoshop. The 27.11.0 upgrade still hasn't addressed this,

    Ok so i kept having this issue and found the fix talking to an adobe agent. 

     

    • close Photoshop application and open Creative Cloud Desktop application and roll back Photoshop to 27.9.1
    • Open the Creative Cloud Desktop app. Click on 'Apps' on the left-hand side. Filter the applications by selecting 'Imaging' at the top. Locate Photoshop, then click on the three dots (⋮) beside it. Select 'Other Versions' and roll back to version 27.9.1.

    Basically the latest version is broken. Hope this helps someone
