Opening more than 1 file from Lightroom CC to Photoshop?

Hopefully this is an easy one, as I'm new to Lightroom CC. I can obviously choose to "edit in photoshop" if I select one file. But as soon as I select more than one, this option is not available? After having applied a preset to 500 photos (one at a time, because I can't seem to apply it to all) I have a simple "action" for each of them awaiting me in Photoshop. Sure would make things easier if I could open several at a time, but perhaps there are others ways of doing this?

Any help appreciated.

I can confirm that Lightroom CC only allows a single image to be edited in Photoshop at any given time. I'm not connected with Adobe and not any kind of a software engineer. This might have something to do with transferring from the cloud to Photoshop, but I don't know that for certain.

Right. Thanks for replying. I hope it doesn't have anything to do with transferring to cloud, since I don't even use that for back-up. As I'm already subscribing to something else.

So I can't go back to Lightroom Classic, as it won't work with my files now that I've bought a new camera. And CC wont open more than 1 photo into photoshop at the time? I've picked a bad time to try out time-lapse photography it seems.

Don't Understand your comment about hoping it doesn't have anything to do with transferring to the cloud. Are you really using Lightroom CC, the new cloud-based Lightroom CC, and not Lightroom Classic CC? If you are, then your images ARE being stored in the cloud. Did you not understand that? And Classic will open the same files that Lightroom CC will open. All you have to do is make sure you're up to date as far as updates are concerned.
