    Stop stop stop.

    Is this is the issue where when from LR you send an image over to PS and many menu items are grayed out.

    As might happen when you select edit in Photoshop???

    IF so

    Known issue.

    Keep seeing this problem, now to be fair this particular posting by the OP is older than most if not all the others, so, I won’t say, geeezzz read other postings.

    moving on. Enough venting.

    Workaround, start PS before havin LR send an image to PS.

      Probably not, the OP is from before the new update PS 20.0.1 was issued, causing the problem you describe.

      I created a shortcut for classic and set it to run as administrator in its properties, then I opened from that shortcut and viola.  It’s all working.  Running converters and other workarounds changes running permissions.  My guess here is that most apps need higher than normal permissions to open other apps.  A requirement of the rootless mode security.  Just run as admin.  It works

      I tried everything including reinstalling both LR and PS CC . Harley’s suggestion of opening the apps as an administrator worjked for me but I had to open both apps  (PS and LR) as an administrator before starting my work. Just opening LR as an administrator and allowing it to open PS when it passed a file over did not fix the problem

      I don't know if I got lucky...but I kept digging around in the different menus.  I noticed that the option under plugin extras was RAF to DNG converter option.  I thought that was odd because I import as dng.  What can it hurt.  I ran the option and magically everything worked.  It would appear to me there is some kind of glitch in the download and convert option.

      What solved it for me was to to turn off the "Show "Start" Workspace when no documents are open" in Ps CC 2018 General Preferences

      Hi there, I seem to be having the same issues as other folks in this forum but I also noticed that I no longer have Photoshop Classic on my apps list.  Wondering what's going on and how to fix it.

      There is no "Photoshop Classic" app.

      The Adobe apps are: "Lightroom CC Classic" (latest version is 7.4) and Photoshop CC (latest version is 2108/Ver 19.1.5.

      Which app are you asking about?  What is your operating system, OSx or Windows?

      PS, the full name is Photoshop Lightroom CC Classic but that is seldom used except at Adobe.

      I checked and you are correct, it was Lightroom Classic I was thinking of.  In any case, when I right click to edit in photoshop all the export options are all greyed out.  I'm on a mac sierra 10.12.6.

      MY SOLUTION. I had the same problem, reinstalled PS etc. Then I realised it was because my original photos (on an external drive) were not accessible, only previews..! Plugged in the drive and all good.

      Found solution! Problem was in LR catalog location. I uninstall LR and PS, used Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool (Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems ) and moved my catalog from external hard drive to local.

        Same problem.

        I using High Sierra 10.13.4. Yesterday made full OS reinstall. Lightroom and Photoshop have last updates.

        Tried: fully reinstall, LR and PS previous versions, move raw on external and local hard drive, delete .plist files.

        Working only Open as Smart Object. Not using any plugins.

        I had this issue. Today, I updated Photoshop CC 2017 to Photoshop CC 2018 and my Photoshop CC 2017 was still showing up in Lightroom under Photo > Edit In. Also, the options for opening the images as layers, smart objects, pano or HDR were greyed out. After much searching, I finally found a solution under the help files. Please see the info below. I was unable to find the com.adobe.Photoshop.plist file, so I had to use the instructions to access hidden user library files, which were as follows:

        • In the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder.

        • In the Go To Folder dialog box, type ~/Library

        • Click Go.

        Solution 1: Rebuild the Photoshop plist file.

        • Close Photoshop Lightroom.
        • Navigate to the //Users/[user name]/LIbrary/Preferences/ folder.
        • Drag the com.adobe.Photoshop.plist file in the Trash.

        Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7 and later. If you need access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

        Solution 2: Uninstall and reinstall Photoshop.

        To uninstall Photoshop, use the uninstall application in the //Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers/ folder. Then reinstall from your original media and install all product updates.

        I tried all the go arounds for deleting the .plist file & uninstalling both softwares, still no luck. ALL the the options for "Edit in..." are all greyed out; opening the image in Photoshop, in other application, as layers, smart objects, pano or HDR.  Could it be a bug with the new updates that have just come out?  My issue also JUST started, I've never had an issue with this before & I use this function often.

        JUST HAD A BREAKTHROUGH!

        I have all my imagery on external drives but with smart previews I can do all editing functions without them once they're imported into LR.  I PLUGGED IN MY EXTERNAL DRIVE where the DNGs & RAW files live, & the "Edit in Photoshop" command became available again!

        PS - For the record, I also tried going into the registry (Win 10) as suggested in this thread:

        'Edit In Photoshop' command missing

        The idea was to, if necessary, add a couple of new lines to:

        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\  .

        Fortunately, those lines in that section of my registry were already there and they were already perfectly correct, so that suggestion didn't help, either.

        Sorry I missed your note.  Was this resolved?  I'm still stuck.
