Question

Open in Photoshop doesn't work with local drive

When I open a file in Lightroom and the file is on my filer server I can use Edit in Photoshop and the image appears in Photoshop.

 

If I open a file that is stored in my local drive, Edit in Photoshop will open Photoshop but doesn't display the image.

I can open the file on my local disk directly in Photoshop, no problems.

Photoshop is set for Full Disk Access.

Is there another permisson or security setting I might be missing?

 

I'm using a Macbook Pro with Sonoma 14.7.4

Are you using Lightroom Classic ( LrC) if so what version number? 
Also does LrC have full disk access on your Mac?

Yes, it's Lightroom Classic 14.2 and Photoshop 26.4.1.

Both are setup with Full Disk Access. I don't have any problems opening
files directly from my local disk with either one.

Try the following.

Using the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop application uninstall Photoshop and Lightroom Classic.

Shut down your computer ( power off ).

Reboot your computer.

Launch Adobe Cloud Desktop application.

Install Photoshop and open the application to insure its boots properly and exit the application.

Next Install LrC and open the application to ensure the installation completed successfully.

Use the " Edit in application in LrC " to edit an image see if it works as expected..
