Lightroom 6.5 Edit in Photoshop (2024) Not working

Running MacOS Monterey and just upgraded to lightroom 6.5 and photoshop 2024.  When I select "Edit in photoshop" it will open photoshop 2024 but not the image.  Eventually a message shows up that says "Edit in Photoshp failed - File could not be opened in Photoshop".  I've looked up some articles and have given full access permissions to both LR and PS, but can't get it to work.

Hey there!

Did you have Photoshop (beta) installed on this machine before? As a test, uninstall Photoshop 2024 & install again.
Let me know if this helps. Thanks!

Hey @situationblackout. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you figure this out.

 

Try these steps:

  • Create a test album in Lightroom.
  • Right-click on the album and save the album locally.
  • Edit-In Photoshop through this album.

Let me know if this helps,

Thanks!

I created the new album/set it to local and imported a file and tried to edit in photoshop but it said it can't be opened in photoshop.  If photoshop is closed "edit in photoshop" will launch photoshop, but not the image.
