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.

    I use a Macbook Pro  OS Ventura Version 13.2.1 I use Lightroom Classic to organize and do minor edits and open photos through Lightroom into Photoshop to do major edits. 

    For the last two days anytime I have selected - Edit in Photoshop within Lightroom Classic (version 12.4) it will open Photoshop (version 24.7.0) but it won't "transfer" the picture into it to edit it. I have tried closing the apps and even turned my computer off and rebooted. It's still doing it. Is anyone else having this problem or just me? Any solutions would be much appreciated.

      Try updating your macOS to version 13.4.1.

      Can't believe this is still yet in the "reporting to the beta team" stage after a week.  I am not an guru tech but this was very basic from the start and yet the beta went out.  No an alpha test first?  Sorry, blowing some steam.

        Windows 11, latest LRR, Photoshop and Photoshop beta. Not w in LRC there is nothing in Edit in . Preferences shows 2 Photoshop and the topaz applications.

         

        I've closed all running apps and did a restart as well as shutdown, delay, and restart.

          Ok, I pushed the car with  not breaks back up the hill and let it roll down  again, another boot, and most of the "edit in" items are there. However Edit in Photoshop 2023 opens but my lightroom classic image is not seen.

          Hi, today I got the same error messages "Unable to open" and " Unable to prepare " - I too hit OK and then Photoshop opened and the Lightroom image was sent.  VERY frustrating that it should so suddenly appear.

            It seems like everything is very delayed. If i hit Strg + E in LR to edit the picture in PS, it takes like 1min until it appears in PS. And when i save it after the editing, it needs another minute to pop up in LR.

                I hope you try this: 

                A temporary fix for Photoshop beta 25 and PSC. In Adobe Lightroom preferences select as your second open as preference for open in Windows go to program files/ adobe/ adobe Photoshop 2023/… and select Photoshop.EXE.

                1. To edit a file right click and edit in Photoshop.exe then close it and it will save to Lightroom (my settings are set to save as a tiff file).
                2. Then right click and open in go to shop 2024. This is the beta version, and it will now open the file. Do your work and close.
                3. Go back to Lightroom and if you see a window saying that it could not open go to File Explorer and find the tiff file that you just saved and move it to a new location or rename it. If you do not Photoshop beta will overwrite it and remove your edits.
                4. You can right click and synchronize the folders to get your file back in Lightroom and continue editing in Lightroom beta which now recognizes that file and will open it (for a while). Opening as layers does not work. Selecting more than one will open.

                  Genau wie bei mir, überhaupt kein Workflow mit der PS Beta mehr möglich. Ich habe erstmal die Beta deinstalliert und arbeite jetzt mit der "normalen" Version. Hoffe sehr das der BUG bald behoben. ist.

                    Same issue! And then it creates a TIF version! So, if I edit CR3 file in Lighroom, then do the Enhanced de-noise, it creates a new DNG file, and then when I export to Photoshop Betra it now creates a TIF, so I end up with 3 version of the same file! Super annoying!

                     

                    Going back to 24.6 helped, BUT I'm getting this super annoying message "It's time to update" that can't be removed!

                     Can you fix it asap please? It's impossible to use, very frustrating.

                        When the 'link' between Lightroom Classic and Photoshop has issues, the first step is to try this:

                        Use the Adobe Creative Cloud Application to uninstall Photoshop. When asked, keep preferences! After this reinstall Photoshop again.

                         

                        If this doesn't help the nest step is to reinstall both apps Lightroom and Photoshop. Please folloe the steps below:

                         

                        1. Open the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Client and uninstall both Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. When asked, keep preferences! 

                        2. Install Photoshop first and then Lightroom Classic. The right order is very important here!
