Can't export photos from Lightroom to Photoshop for editing anymore...

As of two days ago, I can no longer export photos from Lightroom to Photoshop for editing touchups. This seriously hampers my workflow, and it's never happened to me before in 10 years of constant work with both.

Step by step, here's where the problem occurs. When I choose to edit to Photoshop, PS boots up but does not open to the exported photo - rather it offers the following choices: Create New, or Open.  I can add in a few steps as a workaround, which means saving my Lightroom version as a tiff or jpg, then opening it in PS to do touch ups - BUT exporting finished photos from Lightroom has always been my preferred method. For some reason, the simple step I've always used has seemingly disappeared. What might I be missing here?

I'm using the latest CC versions of both and running the most current Mojave.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

It looks like the issue is occurring for those using NAS or other server storage for their images.  Other threads I've now found indicate some have had the issue for 2 weeks and Adobe have replicated it and 'are working on it' for a fortnight but no more has been heard since.

If like me you can't afford to wait any longer to get back to work and the manual opening workaround in place of the integration isn't feasible I have replaced Camera Raw 11.2 with an older version (v11.0 was what I managed to get my hands on) and that issue is resolved so I can get back to work.  No idea yet if that will introduce any other conflicts but so far so good.

Thanks all for your support - will now wait for the fix release.

Same here and I cant figure out why! I've been exporting and dragging into PS to open, which WORKS but is a pain!

Greetings to all who've been suffering this same problem. The solution, albeit temporary, is indicated by 2AussieTravellers above. It's not intuitive - but pretty simple and solves the whole deal.

Just replace your CameraRaw with an earlier version, overwriting the current CameraRaw, and you'll find things return to normal.

Best,

Jean

Adobe have a help page advising just that :

Cannot open raw files from a network drive

I cannot do this either.

I have preset that after running opens the file in Photoshop.

Photoshop opens but doesn't open the file.

Can't be a hard bug to patch

Hmmm, I'm a Mac user that shoots with .NEF. I'm going to run all my updaters and see if this problem happens to me too. See if I can recreate the issue.

Hello... juste in case... the problem has nothing to do with RAW (or .NEF) file but the fact that those files are located on a NAS server. I'm able to opening a RAW file that is located on my Mac but not if this same file is on my NAS server.

I have added this to the thread suggested above for support from Adobe.  This is the link if anyone wants to "me too" it and see if we can get an official answer. Selecting 'edit in Photoshop' from Lightroom Classic not working | Photoshop Family Customer Community

Hi Davescm,

Yep. Been there, done that. The solutions offered there are in the nature of reinstall everything, go back to an older camera raw (which is, of course, nearly impossible even to track down), and turn LR and PS on and off in certain magical sequences. None of which actually a guarantee of solving this problem. As always, its left to the end user to wander down blind alleys and waste many hours following useless suggestions, while paying through the nose for the privilege.

But as far as squawking goes, it never hurts to broadcast one's immense unhappiness at the extra work caused by workarounds in every forum possible. In my previous experience in these forums, Adobe monitors and as often as not responds, when the wheels squeak.
