Lightroom Classic>Edit in PS: Long Delay+Erroneous Error Message opening Ps Beta 2024 25.0

I just recently updated Photoshop Beta to 2024 v25.0 on my Windows 11 machine.

 

Now when I try to open photos from LR 12.4 using the "edit in...", it hangs up for a time and then comes up saying "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop 2024 could not be launched."

 

When I hit "Ok" it then opens the file in Photoshop 2024. 

 

This happens with every file, even if Photoshop 2024 is already up and running at the time. 

 

This does not happen with 2023 v24.7.

Hello Community.

 

After making adjustments in Lightroom, I often open my photos in Photoshop. For this I use the "Edit in..." Function by right click on the appropriate picture etc..
Normally, before opening, a selection appears again, whether I want to open the image in the original or a copy and in each case whether with or without Lightroom adjustments.

Since short, however, this way no longer works.

The selection window does not appear anymore. Photoshop opens or the active window changes to Photoshop. Then nothing happens at first. After what feels like a minute, a warning message appears in Lightroom, saying ". The photo cannot be edited in Photoshop because the file xyz cannot be opened".

If I click away this message, the desired file opens in Photoshop.

Meanwhile I found out that this is only the case with RAW formats. In my case ARW and CR2. Tiff can be opened without any problems.

Now I have already uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom (desktop version) Photoshop Beta and also 2023. Also the RAW extension.

I have searched the internet for solutions, but have not found a real one.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Nach den Anpassungen in Lightroom öffne ich oft meine Fotos in Photoshop. Dazu nutze ich die "Bearbeiten in..." Funktion durch rechts click auf das entsprechende Bild etc.

Normalerweise erscheint nochmal vor dem öffnen eine Auswahl, ob ich das Bild im Original oder eine Kopie öffnen will und jeweils ob mit oder ohne Lightroom Anpassungen.

 

Seit kurzen funktioniert dieser Weg allerdings nicht mehr. 

 

Das Auswahl Fenster erscheint nicht mehr. Photoshop öffnet sich bzw das aktive Fenster wechselt zu Photoshop. Dann passiert erstmal nichts weiter. Nach einer gefühlten Minute kommt bei Lightroom ein Warnhinweis, sinngemäß ". Das Foto kann in Photoshop nicht bearbeitet werden da die Datei xyz nicht geöffnet werden kann." 

 

Klicke ich diese Meldung weg, öffnet sich in Photoshop dann doch die gewünschte Datei.

 

Mittlerweile habe ich herausgefunden, das dies nur bei RAW Formaten der Fall ist. In meinem Fall ARW und CR2. Tiff lässt sich problemlos öffnen.

 

Nun habe ich schon Lightroom (Desktop Version) Photoshop Beta und auch 2023 deinstalliert und neu installiert. Auch die RAW Erweiterung. 

 

Im Internet habe ich nach Lösungen gesucht, allerdings keine echte gefunden.

 

Hat jemand eine Idee?

 

Danke

There is a known bug with Edit in Photoshop that causes this problem if you also have the Photoshop beta installed.

 

Please note: the dialog with 'Edit with Lightroom adjustments' etc. never comes up if you send a raw file to Photoshop. That dialog only shows if you send a TIFF/PSD/JPEG from Lightroom to Photoshop, so not getting this dialog for raw files is as designed and has nothing to do with this bug.

The usual Command E prompt to open and image from Lightroom develop module doesnt work. After a delay the program opens the image into Camera Raw instead where pre edits can be completedd before opening into photoshop.

  • I cannot opperate the Remove Tool from Photoshop Beta 
  • I cannot opperate masking brushes once inside select and mask module. All I get is an Arrow
  • Some of the same issues are happiing in Photoshop 2023. Depending if I open photoshop via Lightroom by pressing Command E for an image or whether I open Photoshop 2023 by clicking on the icon from Menu Bar. Either or photoshops when opened in which ever manner will result with the Remove Tool not working or working. Also I do not get my usual plugin apps if I open Photoshop by Command E method (in Lightroom) 

Can you imaging the amount of workarounds this creates for me and the whole day spent on one image. I have never known photoshiop to be so erratic however its never been so full of high tech adjustnents.

Also I will have to cancel trhe pixemperfect addon because it wont acknowledge my subscription on one or more photoshops, the app seems to be glitchy and asks me to deactivate the plug in in My Pi for this computer - Its the only cpmputer I have registered it on. 

Thank you - please fix things asap

I had the same problem, I was told by tech support to go back to photoshop beta 24.7.0, this resolved the issue.

I was told to revert Photoshop Beta back a step to v24.7 and that fixed the problem for me. I suppose a newer v25.xyz will probably work someday.

In the beta forum I learned to revert back one version to 24.7 and then it works to open a photo from lightroom in PS Beta. This will probably get fixed in a more recent update of v25.

Install the previous version of PS in Adobe Cloud.

1. Version 25.0.0

2. Mac OS 13.4.1 (c)

 

This new update refuses to open an image from LR.  Nothing happens when I choose "Edit in Photoshop".

 

Steps:

1. I'm in LRC (12.4)

2. I want to edit a photo in PS(Beta), so I choose Edit in Photoshop

3. I get the standard message to Open in Photoshop

4. Nothing happens at first.  Then about 3 or 4 minutes later it has launched, but I get a message in LR that Photoshop(Beta) failed to launch.
