P: Edit in Photoshop sends it to the Photoshop Beta, not 2023. No option to choose.

Hoping for some help here. I am on a PC and have the latest versions of Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. I wanted to download and try the new Photoshop Beta so I downloaded it from the Adobe Creative Cloud and it installed fine. BUT - when I use Lightroom and choose EDIT IN - ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 2023 it opens the BETA version. It does not give me an option to choose WHICH Photoshop version I want to use. Uninstalling the Beta basically kills the ability to send an image from Lightroom Classic to Photoshop at all and the only way to get things back is to uninstall the beta and then uninstall Photoshop CC 2023 THEN reinstall Photoshop. I'd love to play with the beta and be able to choose which version of Photoshop I want to use when sending images from Lightroom Classic.
 
I've seen some videos where the option to select which version of photoshop you want to use is selectable from a dropdown menu but this was on a Mac and not a PC. Any help is appreciated!

    Greetings all, 

     

    Updates for the Adobe Photography Products are released.  The August 2024 updates contain an update for this issue. 

    If you do not see the update in your Creative Cloud Application, you can refresh it by hitting [Ctrl/Cmd]+[Alt/Opt]+[ R ].

    Note: It may take up to 24 hours for your update to be available in your Creative Cloud app.

     

    Thank you for being so patient.

    So I followed your advice and uninstalled lightroom and photoshop. My problem was having my desktop lightroom choose the ps 2023 previous version and not the newer 2024 version. By uninstalling all three, (2 ps plus the lr) then reinstalling ps first, then lr, it fixed this problem.

    This worked! I'm on a Mac and I did all the uninstall/reinstall and nothing worked.

    As you noted I went to preferences/external editing and the Photoshop version was Beta. I was able to click on the arrows and choose Photoshop 2024.

    This fixed it. I think your reply should be chosen as the correct answer if other people are able to use the same solution.

    Thank you!

      @craigh47031661 thats because the beta is Photoshop 2024 - just a newer version than the current public release. Uninstall the beta to resolve.

        I would almost be ok with that, but  Lightroom isnt giving a  beta vs general release of photohop. The only option is Photoshop 2024,  but lightroom opens the beta version of Photohop

          The same issue occurs  from lightroom to Photohop oct /2023.  Lightroom pulls in  photoshop beta even though beta isnt't an option in the dropbown menu

              I have PS 2024 installed and I still have the same problem. I have no option in preferences to choose which version of PS opens. (PS 2024 or Beta). If I have both versions of PS open it does open in 2024 but I would still like the option. Any news from the developers?

              Win 11, LRC 12.5, Photoshop 24.7, PS Beta 25.1.
              I also support the idea that you should be able to see both versions in the "Edit In:" menu without having to go to Preferences and select a version in there each time you want to change it.
