Hi @sameer,

That's what it was, I had an apostrophe ('). Once I removed it, I was able
to import it to PS. Thank you so much!!!

What happened if you configure Photoshop as an additional external editor?

You can use the appropriate parameters for file format, color space etc. as you need.

@sameer,

Thank you so much :  My filepath was Foto's,....  I changed tje name in "Fotos" and everything works fine again.

You made my day !

Have a nice day to .

Deleting (') in the folder names did the trick. Thanks. 

[dapyute]

Have you checked to see if you have (') in the file name? Like Chrstopher's
photos instead of "Christophers photo"?

This fixed my issue on Windows. Correctly interpreting filepaths is hard, I guess?

[jmrbrooklyn]

I've done all of the recommended fixes and none of them work. 

[jmrbrooklyn]

@sameer - ok.  I'd moved images to a drive with an ' in the name.  Changed it and it worked.

As of today, when I got the new update for Lightroom Classic, edit in PhotoShop is no longer working.   It opens PhotoShop but does not bring the photo over.  I have checked the preferences and they look good, and I was able to do this without problems yesterday.  It's only since I got the update today.

I'm using Windows 11 Home version 24H2

I have Lightroom Classic version 14.5 (updated today)
I have PhotoShop version 26.9 (updated 16 days ago)

I have Camera Raw version 17.5 (also updated today)

[Mike32381554vjbx]

I have this problem as well, since updating last week.  I've tried the solution below with no luck ( I only have PS 2025 on my system). I've tried uninstalling PS, PS & LR and reinstalling. No Joy.

Any Ideas, Please!

@Anna22206969p7o9, @Steve19970 

Can you please provide the full path to a photo that won't open in Ps?

An apostrophe in the path was what I was thinking and the reason for my question.

I have tried the given actions several times now, but it doesn't work for me.

[ivarv45749235]

The problem is with the latest version of Lightroom Classic. I downloaded an older version of Lightroom. Now I can open a photo from Lightroom in Photoshop again.

Product:

• Lightroom Classic 14.5 & Camera Raw 17.5 (current releases as of 8/17/2025)

• Photoshop 2025 26.9.0 (current release as of 8/17/2025)

System:

• Windows 11 (latest patches)

• Laptop (Dell Inspiron 15 3535, AMD Ryzen 7 7730U with Radeon Graphics)

Issue Summary:
When using “Edit in > Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2025 > Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments”, Photoshop launches, but the photo never opens.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open Lightroom Classic 14.5 on Windows 11.

2. Import a JPEG photo.

3. Apply adjustments in Lightroom (exposure, crop, etc.).

4. Right-click photo → Edit In > Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2025…

5. Select Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments.

6. Click Edit.

Expected Result:
Photoshop 2025 should launch and open a copy of the photo with Lightroom adjustments applied.

Actual Result:
Photoshop launches, but no photo opens.

Notes / Workarounds:

• If I choose Edit a Copy (without Lightroom adjustments), the file opens correctly in Photoshop.

• If I manually add Photoshop.exe as a secondary external editor in Lightroom’s Preferences and save it as a preset, the handoff works as expected.

• The issue seems to be with Lightroom’s built-in “default Photoshop” entry.

Impact:
This breaks the standard Lightroom → Photoshop round-trip workflow for JPEG images with Lightroom adjustments.

If you have this issue since you're updating to the current versions it seems you're run into this:

See @Sameer K 's answer for a possible workaround.

I'm havng the same issues as the rest of them here. I have a Mac mini m4 Sequoia15.6 PS 26.9 LRC 14.5. No issue til this UD.Runs on LR no issues. Uninstalled both once nothing has fixed it. No (') Like everone I have things to do and can't get them done.Hope you fix this soon..

[Mazuly]

I was able to resolve the issue.

Firstly I work on Mac Studio and save all photos on an external drive.

I rename my external drive and used find missing folder in Lightroom to established the paths in the renamed drive to my photos.
Once I did that edit in photoshop started working.

It seems the new Lightroom update does something with the external drive photo paths and restablishing these paths resolve the issue at least for me.

[Mazuly]

I actually reinstalled OS on my Mac Studio and reinstalled everything again, and that still did not resolve the issue.

hopefully this will work for everyone else having the same issue.

People having this issue, please report if you use external drive.

[tscherer]

I did what someone else said they did and uninstalled LRC14.5 and reinstalled 14.4 and that works the way is did before the up date..
