I note in your screen-clip that all your 'edit-in' links are greyed. (NIK etc).

So another answer to add to the link given by Nikunj is that your photos are 'missing', or you are working exclusivly with Smart Previews (also the original file is not connected).

Can you post a screen-clip of the Histogram panel in Library view- that might tell us some info about the photo you are trying to send to Ps. And a clip of the photo in the Library Grid.

Like this:

Hi there,

 

We are sorry about the experience with Lightroom Classic while trying to use the Edit in Photoshop feature.

 

Would you mind sharing the macOS version you are using? Please try to uninstall and re-install Photoshop 2020 through the Creative Cloud desktop app to check if that helps.

Let us know if that helps.
