I am experience this issue in Photoshop CC that I cannot add/remove layers and much more. Essentially all of my menu options are grayed out almost. This error is only occurring when use the "Edit in Photoshop" Option in Lightroom CC. Whenever I export the file from lightroom CC to a file and then open that file in PS, it works as usual. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom, Photoshop, and Adobe Creative photoshop multiple times and that has not fixed the issue.

Open photoshop first before sending photo over from LR.
