Lightroom not able to open Photoshop to edit photos on a 24 Mac mini running Sequoia 15.6.1

Despite following the advice to open system preferences and enable full disk access neither programs show up in the automation folder where they apparently need to be to enable this functionality. 

Are there any workarounds or solutions other than using Lightroom Classic which works perfectly. 

Many thanks,

Thanks Selondon, 

I'm brand new to all of this so forgive me if I ask the most straightforward questions. I am assuming when you say you don't use local mode you are running the web version? If so, when the LR goes to open PS how would it access it?

However, in any case, I added the apps to the Files and folders submenu which was above the automation one and it appears to have worked! So thank you.

I can't remember having grant Full

Disk Access when using Lightroom (I don't use Local Mode but you may) but it's normally not under the Automation section under Privacy and Security but has its own sub menu above that.
