Using the following LrC 15.1 and PS 27.2 on macOS 15.4.1, "Edit PS" no longer works. This is very frustrating and unacceptable. It should work day in, day out. What do I do to solve this?

Hi @MarathonMax ,

 

In addition to @JohanElzenga 's advice, please try this:

 

  • Go to Preferences > External Editing in Lightroom Classic.

  • Check if a version is listed in the Photoshop version dropdown.Troubleshooting: If the dropdown is empty despite having Photoshop installed, launch Photoshop once manually and then close it. Restart Lightroom Classic, and the "Edit in PS" option should now be functional.

 

Thanks,

Arjun

    Try this: Uninstall both Photoshop and Lightroom Classic (keep the preferences when asked), then reinstall Photoshop first and Lightroom Classic second. The order is important.
