I'm having this issue after upgrading to 24.4.1 with Lightroom 12.3 on Windows 10. The taskbar tab turns orange, but I have to click on it to get Photoshop to come forward.
After installing the lastest PS update using a macbook pro and the M1 chip, when opening PS from LR classic applying the "edit in photoshop 2023" option, PS opens and immediately minimzes itself. I need to go to the dock and click on it to bring it up. Then if working on another image coming from LR, PS will not populate, but instead stays open in the minimized state in the dock. And so on and so on. This was not happening the prior version.
Hey, @PixelPurfect. We'll need more info to help you with this. What exact version of Lightroom & macOS are you working on? Do you have multiple displays connected?
The latest version of Lightroom Classic & Lightroom Desktop is 12.3 & 6.3, respectively. Please check if you're working on the latest versions of both.
One more note, if Photoshop is not open, Ctrl+E works fine and transfers window focus to Photoshop. If Photoshop is open, Lightroom never handsoff focus...
When I choose 2 or more photos in Lightroom Classic and "edit as layers in Photoshop" it will load them and automatically bring Photoshop up onto my screen. It swithces the programs automatically for me. BUT, if I choose only one photo and "edit in Photoshop" it does not automatically bring Photoshop up onto my screen, I must click on PS in my taskbart to switch applications. How can I get the PS to pop up without having to click on it each time? Newest versions of both apps up to date, Windows 11.
@PixelPurfect I've temporarily moved this thread to the Lightroom Classic board.
@shayb68441784 I've merged the thread to another similar report. Please provide more details about your entire setup. Please share Photoshop & Lightroom Classic's system info from Help > System info > Copy & paste into a text document > Upload and share with us here.
Please share a screen recording of this behavior if you can.
I've identified something to add. I was working on some images this morning and with a few of them, tiff files, Photoshop did pop up when I sent them. However, I can't repeat it and it is only with some tiff files not all. Still no luck at all with RAW or JPG files.
When using LR Classic and using edit in PS feature, PS is not coming to forefront. It did on my older computer but now since I upgraded to mac studio M1. It is not having PS come to forground once hitting edit in PS.
It would be nice to not have to find a work around for this issue. It does the same thing for me when I give LR Classic a command to edit in PS. PS should open and come to forefront at that point. Especially since its a command that is done all the time.
Since updating to the latest versions of LRC and PS. When I select images (doesn't matter the format) the files open in Photoshop, but LR continues to be the active window. CMD E opens a JPEGs in PS in the background and I now have to manually select PS vs it automatically showing. Editing a RAW file automatically switches to PS window, but LR window stays active in the background until I click on PS window. I tend to select multiple RAWs. Out of habit I hit V once in PS ... in many cases I return to LR and all of the images have been converted to B/W because I didn't click the PS window first.
Quand je veux envoyer une photo de Lightroom vers Photoshop je suis obligé de l'envoyer en tant qu'objet dynamique pour que photoshop m'ouvre l'espace de travail. Si je l'envoie normalement ou en tant que calque c'est la page d'acceuil de photoshop qui s'ouvre seulement !!
Welcome to the Lightroom Classic Community @André 1955. To help you figure this out, I'll need more info.
Are you working on Lightroom or Lightroom Classic? What version of Photoshop are you working on?
If you're working with Lightroom Classic, ensure the image is not missing from Lightroom Classic's catalog. Go to the Library Module > from the top main menu > Library > Find All missing Photos > Reinstate broken links for all missing images to Lightroom Classic.
Je travaille avec Lrc V 12.3 et Photoshop V24.4.1 (les dernieres versions) et Windows 10 -64 bits
Ce problème vient de l'installation de la version Photoshop Béta ! Depuis je l'ai désinstallée mais j'ai ce problème ou je ne peux plus me servir de Photoshop.
Mes images ne sont pas absentes du catalogue.
-Lorsque je sélectionne une photo depuis Lrc, clic droit, modifier dans, Adobe Photoshop = Page d'acceuil et rien de plus !!
-Sélection de 2 photos depuis Lrc, ouvrir en tant que calques = Page d'acceuil mais rien de plus je ne vois m^me pas les 2 photos sélectionnées !!
-Sélection d'une photo depuis Lrc, ouvrir en tant qu'Objet dynamique = Photo bien ouverte sur l'espace de travail de photoshop
Vous me proposez de désinstaller Lightroom mais je vais perdre toute ma bibliothèque, mes paramètes prédéfinis et toute mon organisation de mes dossiers ??
I work with Lrc V 12.3 and Photoshop V24.4.1 (the latest versions) and Windows 10 -64 bits
This problem comes from the installation of the Photoshop Beta version! Since I uninstalled it but I have this problem or I can no longer use Photoshop.
My images are not absent from the catalog.
-When I select a photo from Lrc, right click, edit in, Adobe Photoshop = Home page and nothing more!!
-Selection of 2 photos from Lrc, open as layers = Home page but nothing more I do not see m^me the 2 selected photos !!
-Select a photo from Lrc, open as Smart Object = Photo well opened on the photoshop workspace
You offer me to uninstall Lightroom but I will lose all my library, my predefined settings and all my organization of my folders??
