I recently updated Lightroom Classic and Photoshop 2026 (27.8) I have Windows 11, My lightroom edit in choice to PS will open photoshop, it informs me to PS2026 not installed, once it connects, then keeps asking me if I want the program to change setting, Then the actual image to edit does not transfer across to PS, I have deleted both apps and re-installed, same issue.

When the 'link' between Lightroom Classic and Photoshop has issues, the first step is to try this:

Use the Adobe Creative Cloud Application to uninstall Photoshop. When asked, keep preferences! After this reinstall Photoshop again.

If this doesn't help the nest step is to reinstall both apps Lightroom and Photoshop. Please follow the steps below:

  1. Open the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Client and uninstall both Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. When asked, keep preferences! 
  2. Install Photoshop first and then Lightroom Classic. The right order is very important here!

If this doesn't help try the reinstallation with removing the preferences also.
