P: LrC 14.5 Edit in Photoshop does not work when opening RAW photos

[Hugo32537733e5pg]

Since the last update opening photo in Photoshop by right clicking in Lightroom doesn't work anymore.  

Working on a Mac Mini latest ver. of OSX

[DdeGannes]

I am using the LrC 14.5 and. PS 26.9,

On August 13th 2025 the uptdates to both applications were available on Adobe Creative Cloud app and I followed the folling procedure.

First I installed the Photoshop app, after installation I opened the application to ensure the instaliton was completed successfully and closed PS.

Next I proceeded to install LrC and then opened LrC to ensure the application completed successfully. Then closed LrC..

Rebooted LrC and utilised to do some edits, selected an image and used the edit in PS to send the image for further editing the procedure completed without problems.

This is my normal procedure for the last few years and have not encountered problems with this feature.

so... i recently updated my programs(lightroom\photoshop).. now it's not working properly! i've tried to downgrade to older versions and it still does work.. i mass select my photos to open as layer in photoshop but only the program pop-up.. no photos.. what could i do?? i have hundreds of photos to deal with

I can't reproduce this on my system.

What happened if you're only send one image with "Edit in Photoshop.." to Photoshop?

What happened if you open Photoshop first and then send the images as layers to Photoshop?

How much images do you have select for sending to Photoshop?

Try resetting the preferences of Lightroom Classic:  How to reset Lightroom Classic preferences (adobe.com)

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:

If this doesn't help, please provide a copy of your 'System Info'. This can be get from the LrC Help > System Info menu item. There's a copy button in the System Info dialog. Press this button and paste the info into your next forum post.

I continued trying to solve the problem today, but without success. CameraRaw 17.5 is blocking the process. I searched for an older version again. I found the 17.4.2 CameraRaw installer on the internet. With this, all functions work perfectly in Lr and Ps. This suits me fine.

[Laszlo5CE3]

Ps 26.10 has arrived, which solves this problem. Thank you, Adobe.

>From what I’ve gathered, it’s a Lightroom classic problem bug. I
uninstalled the latest version of Lightroom classic and installed 14.4
Lightroom classic everything works the way it should. Good luck

Since the latest update, I can no longer send images to Photoshop. Photoshop does launch, but the image doesn’t open.

I’m using:

• Adobe Lightroom Classic 14.5

• Camera Raw 17.5

• Adobe Photoshop 26.10.0

• Windows

How can I resolve this issue?

@Sameer K After this week's Lightroom update, when I right click "open in Photoshop" in Lightroom, Photoshop itself opens but the photo doesn't open. 

But you're talking about finding a missing folder, but I can't do that either. When I click on the photo in question, I don't get "find missing photo"!!! See screenshot.screenshot

[deroderuiter]

The issue was indeed caused by the directory name. I changed it from 'Foto's' to 'Fotos', and now everything works perfectly again.

[IngridVD]

@deroderuiter where can i find directory name ? sorry 

[IngridVD]

@deroderuiter it is this (Foto's vanaf 01-2024) Should I change this? But why is this suddenly happening?

[gradyr_1953]

I updated Lightroom and Photoshop today. Now Lightroom will not open a file in Photoshop.

[Aleke]

Hi @gradyr_1953! Welcome to the community!

Could you share a few more details about the issue? What exactly happens when you try to use the “Edit in Photoshop” command? Is it greyed out, or does Photoshop open without loading your photo?

Also, just checking, do you happen to have more than one version of Photoshop installed?

Thanks so much!
Alek

@IngridVD 

Yes it is the Foto's part of the folder name. Right click on the folder name and choose Rename..., then change Foto's to Fotos.

After updating to Lightroom 8.5, Camera Raw 17.5, and Photoshop 26.10, Lightroom will not open a raw file in Photoshop.

[Donutlovers]

I’ve seen this happen after updates. Usually it works again if you update both Lightroom and Photoshop to the very latest version so they match. You can also try resetting the preferences in both apps which often clears the problem. Hope this will be helpful for you.

[zingeborg]

Same problem as everyone else on this forum. After udating to Ps 26.10 no RAW files will open in LrC 14.5. Working on a Mac Ventura 13.7.1. Tearing my hair out with frustration as I have unistalled and re-installed both Ps and LrCand deleted the " ' " from filepath, to no avail . Please fix this SOONEST!!!!

[Astrid37891044kfij]

"Edit in Photoshop" from Lightroom classic on my windows desktop isn't working anymore. I read the previous discussions, but until now nothing is solving the problem. Not even re-installing both programmes on my computer. Whenever I choose "edit in photoshop", Photoshop will open but not the photo I want to edit. I think it started maybe after the last update 3 days ago?? Otherwise I didn't change anything. 

So help is very, very welcome after more than 2,5 hour trying to solve it...

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

thanks!! renaming the folder worked!! 

[Brad Nads]

I am using Lightroom Classic v14.5 to try and "edit in" Photoshop v26.10.  This worked yesterday morning prior to installing the new version of Photoshop.  Photoshop will open, but the image does not open to edit or open as a smart object.  I am running the latest Mac OS.  I also have uninstalled Lightroom and Photoshop and then reinstalled them with Photoshop first.  I have allowed Full Disk Access to Lightroom and Photoshop.

[deborahj85779554]

Since upgrading Lightroom Classic, I am no longer able to send photos from there into Photoshop 2025. Is anyone else having the same issue? If so, do you have a fix or a work around?

[tstphnsn]

I had this issue recently and it turned out to be because the file had an apostrophe in the name. So maybe now some characters are blocking the transfer. Oddly, the file would open in PS directly. But trying to transfer from LR to PS only worked when I renamed it

[gradyr_1953]

I'm having the same problem on a Windows machine.
