Unable to Open Picture from Lightroom Classic in Photoshop (Beta)

I just updated Photoshop (version 26.6.0), (minutes ago) and now when importing a photo from Lightroom Classic, I can't get the photo to open in Photoshop. HELP I'm in the middle of editing wedding photo's and don't have time for this. 

I've tried Cntrl-E, and right clicking-open in Photoshop. It opens Photoshop, but doesn't bring the picture in. 

I am using Windows 11.

    This solution from Grok worked for me:
    1. Check for Special Characters in File Paths (Most Common Fix for Recent Cases)

    • This has resolved the issue for many users with Lightroom Classic 14.5 and Photoshop 2025 (v26.x), as special characters like apostrophes (') can cause "invalid params" errors in the Dynamic Link process.
    • Steps:
      • Inspect the full file path of the affected image(s), including folder names, drive names, or any parent directories. Look for characters like ', &, #, or other non-alphanumeric symbols.
      • Rename any offending folders or drives to remove these (e.g., change "Summer's Photos" to "Summers Photos"). If the rename happens outside Lightroom, right-click the folder in Lightroom's Library module, select "Find Missing Folder," and relink it to the updated path.
      • Test by attempting "Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments" again.
    • If you're on an external drive or networked storage, try the same for the drive label.

    Bug-Report: Lightroom kann Dateien nicht mehr in Photoshop Beta öffnen

    Seit Ende März 2025 funktioniert der direkte Workflow zwischen Lightroom Classic und Photoshop Beta auf meinem iMac nicht mehr wie gewohnt.
    Wenn ich in Lightroom auf „Bearbeiten in > Photoshop Beta“ klicke:

    • Photoshop Beta öffnet sich,

    • aber kein Bild wird geladen,

    • und das übliche Dialogfenster („Eingebettete Einstellungen verwenden?“ etc.) erscheint ebenfalls nicht.

    • Das Bild ist auch in Photoshop Beta nicht sichtbar oder geöffnet.

    Die Verbindung mit Photoshop 2024 (nicht Beta) funktioniert weiterhin problemlos – das Dialogfenster erscheint, das Bild wird korrekt geöffnet und kann bearbeitet werden.

    System:

    • macOS [Version, z. B. „Sonoma 14.4“]

    • Lightroom Classic [Version, z. B. „13.2“]

    • Photoshop Beta [Version, z. B. „25.x“]

    Bitte um Prüfung – danke!

    I assume it's related to this issue:

     

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/p-release-14-2-cannot-open-lightroom-edited-photos-in-photoshop-26-5-or-photoshop-beta-26-6/td-p/15237644/page/3

     

    It looks like the solution is to uninstall PS and LRC, then reinstall PS first, then LRC. This appears to be a recurring issue (not being able to edit in PS from LrC) after some updates.

      @nga_kim2793 Thank you for posting. Reinstalling Photoshop should fix the issue. However, before you proceed with the reinstallation, we need to collect some additional information to understand the problem, as we haven't been able to reproduce it in-house. Please let us know if it's okay to direct message you for more details. Thanks!

        Today I had the same problem after installing PS v26.5 on my Mac running Sonoma 14.7.4. Under LR clasic v14.2 with Camera Raw v17.4, files transferred from LR to PS (beta) v2.6. would no longer open. Reinstalling PS (beta) did not help. Obviously the file name is no longer transferred correctly to my registered default editor PS (beta). As a workaround I have now entered PS (beta) as secondary editor in LR. This means that the transfer of the file from PS (still) works and the result edited in PS (beta) is also returned correctly in LR.

          Good to know I'm not the only one having this issue. Hopefully they come up with a patch soon.

          Hi @Kjenson it sounds like something became corrupt or did not intall correctly.  The solution is to uninstall Ps beta and then do a clean install.

           

          Thanks,

          The same happened to me today, but with both beta and stable versions of Photoshop. It works fine with my secondary external editor which is Topaz Gigapixel. Also, I tried opening it as a smart object and it did open, but when I went to save it an error was thrown. I uninstalled Lightroom Classic and reinstalled it. Same issue. I decided that instead of troubleshooting any further I would just restore my Acronis backup from 2 days ago when it was working. I will report back on the outcome.
