From lightroom open with Ctrl+E a photo in photoshop CC, photoshop menus doesn't work

I've installed today the creative cloud full

When i want to open a photo from lightroom with Ctrl+e to go to photoshop, the photo opens in photoshop but i cannot use any menu in Photoshop, cannot duplicate the layer, the menu isn't active, the tools are working, but the rest doesn't work….. what am i doing wrong?

Vandaag heb ik de creative cloud geïnstalleerd, als ik een foto ( dng-formaat) vanuit lightroom extern wil bewerken in photoshop ( Ctrl+E) opent photoshop doch de menubalken zijn niet actief ( alle menu's blijven bleek grijs) noch kan bvb  ik de laag dupliceren of een andere actie uitvoeren, kan dus enkel de foto bewerken met mijn gereedschap, doch de werkbalken zijn niet actief.... wat doe ik verkeerd?

Correct answer TheDigitalDog

It's only a bug affecting Windows users and all you have to do is go to in Photoshop,**Preferences - General settings**, select "Disable the Home Screen". Then the order doesn't matter.

This is a Known Bug.

Open PS first, Leave it open, and then send images to PS from LR

Hi Goethyn,

Sorry to hear that you're not able to edit the images in Photoshop sent from Lightroom, that shouldn't be happening>

Could you please let us know the version of Photoshop and Lightroom you're working on and which operating system are you using?

Have you tried resetting the preferences of both Photoshop & Lightroom and see if it helps?

Regards,
