Lightroom 5.5 Edit in Photoshop CC 2014 not working

Since updating CC and lightroom today I can no longer Edit in CC 2014.  I've deleted the LR preferences file restarted LR but it still doesn't open the image in CC 2014 although it does start CC 2014.  If I do Edit In>Open as a Smart Object in CC 2014 it opens OK.  Tried searching for the problem on Adobe site but not found anything.  Any help gratefully received

      Is everyone who's having this problem on a Mac?  This works fine for me on my PC but having the same issue on my new MacBook.  I've uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop and it didn't fix the problem.  What I have found that works most times is restarting the computer.  This usually allows the "open in Photoshop" feature to work for a bit but then it stops working again.  Wondering if that's helpful to anyone.

      Seems like this would be an easy thing for Adobe to fix.

      I am on a Mac and having this problem.

      I installed every version of Photoshop that I could, still no dice. I've gone as far as reformatting my entire hard drive multiple times and installed 3 previous versions of OS X as well. I am completely baffled. What's more odd is that I have the same problem on my home iMac and Macbook Pro, but my three work computers (Mac Pro, iMac, Macbook Pro) all are functioning as they should with the latest CC updates. The only difference is that they have had CC installed for some months now and I just installed CC on my home computers.

      Very strange stuff.

      Still haven't found a fix for this. I've installed every previous version of PS and LR that I can and still no dice.

      Anyone from Adobe seeing this? This is a huge break in functionality.

      Has anyone found a real solution to this yet?

      I’m back to teaching a photography course in a week’s time and am forced to use CC as that’s what the students will be using. I had hoped to have Photoshop 2014 and Lightroom 5.71 running on my laptop for use during my lectures. Having now  gone through waaaaay too much trouble I'm am still unable to get images in LR to open/edit in PS. I previously had CS6 and Lightroom 5.71 running perfectly on the same laptop.

      I tried re-installing only PS 2014.2.2 (seems it has to re-download the installation files every time that’s done.. grrr). That did NOT work. Tried re-installing just LR and then again just PS ... and all failed.

      Then, to insure that any old PS files were not interfering with the CC version, I uninstalled every Adobe app on the computer including Reader, Air, Flash, Shockwave, etc..  and deleted every Adobe folder, including hidden ones in user folders, common folders, etc.. and then emptied all temp folders.

      After doing a fresh install (with User security disabled to be sure it was not a administrator permissions issue) the same problems persist.

      Here are a few other issues that repeated:

      Photoshop complained as startup that it “Could not complete the command because Photoshop was unable to find the JavaScript plug-in.” I found that by disabling “Load Extension Panels” in Preferences -> Plug-Ins that problem stopped. But if I then click on “Manage Extensions..” In the Help menu the same error window pops up.

      Installing LR consistency results in the "Unable to start correctly - 0Xc00007b" error and downloading and installing the missing DLL’s fixed that:

      http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/error-unable-start-correctly-0xc00007b.html

      Note that the same error occurs when I installed Dreamweaver CC and have same DLL solution fixed that. I have not yet re-installed DW to see if the issue repeats.

      Lightroom’s editing in PS feature remains broken. It works intermittently with JPGs but fails with any RAW format file. I will Edit the original JPG but not edit with LR settings applied. All these tasks worked fine with the same version of LR and Photoshop CS6.

      At this point I’ll wait to see if a fix is forthcoming either here or elsewhere on the Web, or if Adobe releases an update that fixes it.

      I’m just praying the half the students in the class will not be facing these same issues as we’ll be wasting time valuable class time trying to fix this buggy piece of #*&^@. Are all users now considered beta testers?

      Here are the laptop specs if that’s of interest:

      Lenovo x131e / Intel i3, 16G RAM, Windows 8.1 - 64bit

      Using only the built-in Defender AntiVirus.

      I uninstalled PS 20142.2 and installed the previous CS6 version (displayed Previous Versions in the Cloud Desktop App). It works properly with Lightroom 5.7.1 64-bit. Seems to a step in a good direction. Next step is to try with Photoshop CC (not 2014.2.2) and see if that works too.

      I just starting having this issue out of the blue last week. Nothing I try seems to fix it. So far I've done the following:

      • Reinstalled Photoshop CC and Lightroom (latest version) and making sure PS was installed first.
      • Reinstalled the previous version of PS and LR, in the same order as above.
      • Reformatted my entire computer and reinstalled the OS (OS X Yosemite).
      • Reformatted again and installed the previous OS (OS X Mavericks).
      • Done all of the steps above on a completely different machine as well, still nothing works.

      Nothing has worked for me. I am going insane trying to fix it, this kills my productivity. My only workaround is to have an older version of Photoshop installed and have the newest version of Lightroom installed so when I open a RAW, it tells me that Camera Raw needs to be updated and I can 'Render Using Lightroom'. This just makes PSD's before opening them in Photoshop but to me this is such a pain because I do a lot of stitches and I am left with a bunch of PSD's I don't need.

      Has everyone who has had this problem been able to fix it? It seems very strange to me that this would happen on two entirely different computers and have the same results.

        If you did an update on Photoshop lately? It could be a bug on Adobe's side.

        I am waiting for a a long time for a call from Adobe support on the same issue.

        I just installed the latest versions, all fresh copies after a total reformat of my hard drive. I've installed the past 3 versions of Photoshop and none of them work either.

        I had this same issue. I found that rather than uninstalling and reinstalling the software, merely updating the PS Camera Raw update worked.

        Hi!

        Thanks for all your help. The issue turned out to be that my hard drive was windows format (I only work from external hard drive) and needed to buy another one to copy all information over to.

        Cheers!

        I'm having a similar problem after updating to the latest October update of Photoshop CC 2014.

        Oddly, if I try three times it sometimes ends up working!

        I don't really want to uninstall/reinstall - but that link above seems to have changed and now simply advises updating to the 2014.1 update.

        From how people are talking, I presume before it had different (and multiple) solutions, but they appear to have revised it.

        But now it's redundant for anyone still experiencing the issue past that update.

        Also, reinstalling has been marked as the correct solution on this thread.

        Is anyone else still experiencing this issue?

        Disable all the Default Plugins of Lightroom. It worked for me after going through the same ordeal of reinstalling both the softwares.

          I agree! Uninstalling and reinstalling by removing all preferences is NOT a solution!! Adobe is worse than Apple - do what they say or take a hike - forget about the customers! I work all over the country and internet access is not a luxury I have all over. How must I uninstall and reinstall CC over a 512kbps internet connection??? Get things right FIRST time Adobe!! I pay just as much as the guy with a 100mbps connection, not out of choice but because Adobe set the standards!

            There is NO NEED to reinstall anything.

            Just follow the instructions in the Lightroom Help document "Edit In doesn't work in Lightroom 5.5 from Photoshop CC 2014" (which has been on the Lightroom FAQ page for a week now, though people don't seen to bother reading it).

              Guess I'm a member of this club, but accidentally found something interesting. I don't have this issue if the file is a JPEG, AND if I select "Edit Original" or "Edit Copy" is picked, if that box pops up. Selecting "Edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments" brings on the same issue, None of my Canon (CR2) raw files will open.

              Windows 8.1, Lightroom 5.5, Photoshop CC 2014, ACR 8.5

              The solution worked for me as well; it's an unfortunate first experience with Lightroom after having to migrate from Apple Aperture. It's ironic that Apple Aperture seems to work more seamlessly with Adobe Photoshop than Adobe Lightroom.
