Question

Edit in Photoshop 2024 doesn't work in Lightroom Classic 13.0

I'm running Lightroom Classic and Photoshop on a MacBook Pro 14 M1 with 16GB memory and 1TB SSD.

Both applications have been updated to their latest versions.

I don't often use the option to edit a photo in Photoshop, since Lightroom provides almost all functionality that I need to edit my photos.

But from the photos of my latest photo shoot I wanted to remove an object that Lightroom wasn't able to remove without visible/noticable artifacts. So I wanted to try if Photoshop could do a better job. I selected the option Edit in Photoshop 2024 in Lightroom, after which Photoshop was launched. But the photo was not desplayed inside Photoshop. INstead I got a blank screen, as if I had started the Photoshop app by clicking the icon in de Dock.

I have NOT changed any settings on the External Editing tab in de Preferences window.

In the recent past I've installed a beta version of Photoshop 2024 through the Create Cloud app, but decided to remove it once Photoshop 2024 was officially released and instead updated the Photoshop 2023 app to 2024.

Can somebody explain to me what's going wrong?

Is this a bug that needs resolving?

      I think I found a solution.

      In another thread someone suggested to install Lightroom Classic and Photoshop using the Adobe Cloud app and then re-installing Photoshop and Lightroom Classic (in that order).

      After this procedure when selecting "Edit in Photoshop 2024" in Lightroom Classic fires up Photoshop and loads the photo into the application.

      So...
      With all those suffering from the same issues, uninstall Lightroom Classic and Photoshop using the Creative Cloud app and then install Photoshop first and then Lighroom Classic again.

        Thanks, was having the same problem for some time. When it continued with the new release of LR Classic v13 I realized an update wasn't going to fix this. Uninstalling and reinstalling --which I'm always a little hesitant to do since in the past I have lost settings regardless of uninstalling with the keep settings option -- as you point out worked, and didn't lose anything this time.

        thanks

        Well, everything worked except my DXO Plug-ins.  I had to re-install them.  Kind of a pain.
