Just updated Photoshop 2018 with January edit. Suddenly, any Lightroom Classic CC file that I just edited in Lightroom and now wish to tweak in Photoshop will not open in Photoshop. Has always worked before.

    First try to reset the Photoshop-CC2018 preferences.-

    To restore preferences quickly using a keyboard shortcut: Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.

    Second, check you are not developing in Lr using Smart Previews. (SPs cannot be opened in Ps by [Edit-In] )

    Third, reset the Lightroom Preferences

    Is there anything else unusual about your workflow?
