Question

Not able to switch from Lightroom to Photoshop

Hello!

 

It's been like 4 years that I'm a pet photographer and use Lightroom and Photoshop. I always have been able to switch my picture from Lightroom to Photoshop, but now it's not working.

The "edit in Photoshop" is in gray so I'm not able to click on. 

 

Someone can help me please?

If 'Edit is Photoshop' is greyed out, then most likely the original image is missing, for example because your external image drive is offline. Lightroom can still edit the image if it has a smart preview, but Photoshop needs the original.

Did you check if the originals are online? Where do you store them? If it is on an external drive, could it be that Windows assigned a different drive letter to that drive?
