I have a problem with Lightroom CC2015.7  and Photoshop CC2017

Edit in Photoshop opens Photoshop CC2017 correctly but -

Open as Layers in Photoshop  hangs and eventually an error message appears.

If Photoshop is already open, Open as layers works

    Please add your me-too vote to this bug report in the official Adobe feedback forum, making it a littlle more likely Adobe might prioritize a fix: Lightroom 6.7: Opening photos in Photoshop from Lightroom using Edit In does not work correctly for some operations | Ph… That bug report also contains another workaround.

    There is another option. Either first or after you select Edit In > Open As Layers select Edit In > PS version you are running. With that PS will open and then your images that you selected to open as layers will be loaded. Close the first image without saving.
