LrC Edit in….. Error 2: photoshop is undefined

Computer: MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021)

Chip Apple M1 Max

Memory 64 GB

Discspace : Available 3.91 TB (21.32 GB purgeable)

External Storage: 12 TB RAID, 3 TB Free. <— this is where the images are stored

Brand new Macintosh running macOS Monterey

Version 12.3

This problem existed with my previous 2015 MBP after the last update. Support user signed on and repeated my steps … ran the Abobe cleaner, which disconnected our session…. I did the reinstall again.. problem persisted……

Received my new Mac.....

Did Install on the M1 Max MBP and problem still there.

Step 1: Start LrC

Step 2: open ARW image file. (Opens fine)

Step 3: “Edit in…” - “Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2022” (PS starts, displays Recent files, no image displayed)

Step 4: “Edit in…” - “Open as Smart Object in Photoshop…” (PS opens image as TIFF, image displayed)

Step 5: Save file, no changes. (Error 2: photoshop is undefined.\n Line: 1 \n ->\n) (click OK)

Step 6: Quit PS. (Same Error 2 received a second time)

If I start PS directly (not using LrC) and open one of the files, I can change it and save it. I can Quit PS with no Error. So appears to be something in the LrC<->PS interaction is the problem.

I am having the same exact issue. Are there any solutions?

I just had the customer service remotely fix the issue. Turns out the old version of PS was conflicting with the neww version when I reimages my old MBP to new MBP. You need to remove CCDA completely and then reinstall it.
