Photoshop version open warning

I have PS version 25.11.0 and LR Classic version 13.5.1 on Mac OS Sonoma 14.5 and have been getting the following error message when I try to open a photo from LR in PS.  

 

"Photoshop version open warning.  Lightroom Classic and Adobe Photoshop 2024 are having issues connecting.  Please reinstall Adobe Photoshop 2024 and try again."  

 

This was not occuring a few weeks ago when I last used both programs.  Both programs open independtly and work fine.  Please advise.  I would prefer to not have to reinstall Photoshop if possible, as I have a custom workspace, brushes, actions, settings that I dont want to have to re-do.  Thank you

    Having the same issue as from today. Uninstalled PS beta. But no improvement. PS 25.12.0 LRC 13.5.1 and Windows 11 23h2.

    I hope there is a solution without reinstalling PS?

    Have you backed up your custom workspaces, brushes, actions, etc.? If not, you are at risk for losing them at an inconvenient time. Go to the panel menu for each of these and save your customizations so they can be reloaded from the panel menu.

    Hi there,

     

    We're sorry for the Edit-in issue you are seeing between Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. Take a look at the following conversation and try the offered solutions: https://adobe.ly/3MDhgc1
