Opening Photoshop CC from Elements

I have just installed Photoshop CC and have Elements 14. If I try to change the default editing application to Photoshop (from Photoshop Elements Editor) it tells me I can't because it will do it automatically. But regardless, when I go to a photo to open the editor it will only open "Photoshop Elements Editor". Have already tried closing everything and reopening... Where am I going wrong?

    No - I just do it manually.

    Hi,

    Just to confirm how you are selecting the editor, when you have selected the image, do you go to the bottom of the window, click on the triangle to the right of the Editor button and see something like the following?

    And do you then select Photoshop?

    I'm a Windows guy.  I guess I guess I'll have to step out of the conversation.

    It does work for me, whether from PSE14 or PSE 2018?
