Cannot open a super resolution image into Photoshop from Lightroom

Hi there,

If I use Super Resolution on a .NEF file in Lightroom, and then go Photo > Edit In > Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2026 I get the error message “Could not open ‘XXXXXXXX.NEF’ because the file-format cannot parse the file.” 

This is a recent problem, and I am 80% sure it started after I updated to the most recent versions of LR and PS. Are there any known fixes for this, or is it time to roll back to previous versions of the software?

I am currently getting around the problem by Super Resolutioning, and then exporting a PSD, but this is a rather clumsy fix, it would be great if the old functionality could be restored.

I’m on:

M2 Max Studio, Sequoia 15.6.1

LR Classic 15.3

PS 27.6

Thanks and fingers crossed,

Jamie
