P: Most functions in Edit, Image, Layer, Select and Filter grayed out for image opened from LrC

[KR Seals]

Win 10 1803, LR  8.0, I7 8700k, 64GB ram Control keys inop. Most functions in Edit, Image, Layer, Select anf Filter grayed out. Images opened directly into PS all ok. Reset prefs no help.

If you select "edit in update, then s muted of problems show up you might experience problems such as quick keys missing, and missing, and all filters, adjustments gone. You must all ready have zps opened when you expo8 from light room, or save the photo, close ps, reopen ps and reopen folder. This sucks!!!!

Same problem for me in PS 20.0.1 opening from LR Classic CC v8.0; opening PS before LR seems to fix most but not all the time.  Going back to v7.5 also fixes it and another v8.0 bug (book module not saving changes).

this workaround is not working for me. rebooted, opened PS before LR and still same issue, all greyed out.

Strange. But what also worked for me was, in Ps , in Preferences - General settings, select "Disable the Home Screen". I am guessing that it is something in the Home Screen causing the problem when Lr (or Br) launches Ps.

Extremely strange but on very limited testing it also seems to work for me.  SOmething Adobe needs to be testing; Home Screen is new in PS v20 so this is probably what causes the problem.

[parkylondon]

Yes - disable Home Screen worked for me too.

[Samoreen]

Confirmed. Disabling the Home Screen fixes the problem.

Using the Edit In Photoshop command from LR Classic CC, layers and some commands are inoperative in Photoshop (latest 2019 version) if it was not already open. It all works fine if Photoshop is already open. Running Windows 10 (1803, fully patched).

Since the recent update to Photoshop CC and Lightroom Classic CC I've found that almost all the commands in PS are greyed out, can't even duplicate layer. A few days ago, suddenly allowed me to edit, but again, can't edit.

Please help.

P.S.: I am using Win10

Erick,
If the Home Screen is enabled in PS, try to disable it. If this doesn't work, try to launch PS first before trying to edit from another program.

I have exactly the same problem... But above work around solves it for me....
But really a pain

UPDATE UPDATE

It's buried in a reply further up the conversation so I am reposting here so everyone can take advantage of it. The fix is to go to Preferences - General settings, select Disable the Home Screen. 

That's it - if you Disable the Home Screen, the problem goes away and you can open LR and PS whichever way round you choose.

I think I know what happened during testing.  Testers turned off the home screen to speed startup.  They missed the problem.

[Samoreen]

I'm afraid there are no more testers at Adobe. We are the testers.

Problem:Opening light room and clicking "edit in Photoshop" causes a photoshop that cannot be used to edit an image, everything is grayed out. The only current solution is to open photoshop first, lightroom second, then press "edit in Photoshop" so that I can use it.

[Samoreen]

Hi,

Try disabling the home screen in PS.

[david218]

Disabling the home screen worked for me.

I had 2 versions of PS on my computer the last 2018 version (thankfully) and the fresh new update 2019. If I made it use 2018, worked fine. If I let it use 2019 had this exact problem. Having it work ok depended upon which version was opened up (by LR or by me directly). For now, I have uninstalled the 2019 update. 

[bob frost]

Now I know why I don't get this problem! I have my own 'home' screen that I switch to immediately after installing a new version of PS.

When I go from Lightroom to edit files as layers in Photoshop CC 20.0.1 release, layers are disabled. This happens only when Lightroom has to open photoshop and only with the latest release.

Patrick - Thanks It worked for med with your suggestion to disable

[Samoreen]

Credit goes to Peter Ball or is it Paul Parkinson ? Anyway, not to me :--)

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

My thanks herby forwarded to Peter and or Paul... 🙂 

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

works for me.

[peterb86513089]

No, I can't take the credit. I was merely passing along what was given to me. A person, from Spain I think, whose English maybe wasn't as strong as their Spanish, suggested to remove the Startup screen. I tested it and it worked form me, so I thought to pass it along, to help other users and to maybe give the developers another clue as to what might be going on (or wrong).
