'Edit In' command in Lightroom greyed out

[g.sarzynski@gmail.com]

Hi, I've recently done system recovery on my laptop and re-installed newest versions of Lightroom Classic (9.0) and Photoshop (21.0.1). I can no longer send files from Lighroom to Photoshop as all the items in 'Edit In' sub-menu are greyed out. I've tried changing preferences for 'external editor' back and forth few times and installing older versions of Photoshop (back to 19) but nothing changes. What can be done to fix this issue?

Have you Started PS since the reinstall? Have you tried using ACR since the reinstall? Do both of those thing and test from LR Edit In function.

Are you working with smart previews? And if such, are the original photos available?

Also, are the photos you want to edit missing?
