Right click "Edit in > Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2023" not working

Since the recent updates (Adobe Lightroom Classic 11.5 build 202208080927-8a575c91 and Adobe Photoshop 2023 23.5.1) I am no longer able to open images from Adobe Lightroom Classic in Adobe Photoshop.  When I right-click on an image in Adobe Lightroom Classic and choose Edit in > Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2023, the Adobe Photoshop window opens, but nothing else happens.  Is anyone else encountering this issue?

 

I am running Windows 11 Home, OS build 22000.978

When the 'link' between Lightroom Classic and Photoshop has issues, one of the first things to try is this:
1. Use the Adobe Creative Cloud application to uninstall both Photoshop and Lightroom Classic and when asked, keep preferences. 
2. Install Photoshop first, then Lightroom Classic. 
Better?

Yes same problem for me. Seems to be a new issue as had used the same work flow a week or so ago and was fine.

In a first step please try resetting the preferences of Lightroom Classic:   https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/setting-preferences-lightroom.html

 

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:

If this doesn't help please try to reset the preferences of Photoshop also by using the steps described below:

Preferences in Photoshop (adobe.com)

Please backup your settings before resetting the preferences. You can check:

Preferences in Photoshop (adobe.com)

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce GTX 1050 Ti - Windows 10 Pro 22H2 -- LR-Classic 12.2.1 - Photoshop 24.3 - Nik Collection 5 - Topaz Sharpener AI

Another member had this exact issue. Found it odd that PS 2023 was mentioned. However that member provided one key bit of info in the posting, that member had installed both the current released version, 2022, and a BETA that was being called PS 2023.

 

The Beta is not actually PS 2023, unless Adobe has no plan on this Beta going to early release, or final release this year.

 

In the documentation for customers trying out Beta, an instruction is given as to how to inform Adobe of a Beta bug, also Beta change requests.  Posting in this community is not the process. Note that a seperate community for PS Beta does exist.

 

At any rate, solution was to remove, uninstall both versions of PS, then re-install only the non Beta version. Before you do that, you may want to follow the instructions on reporting the bug, and it is a bug, to the Beta team (link below)

 

It appears anyone can install the Beta release.

Adobe documentation on Beta, something you should have read:

Adobe Creative Cloud Beta FAQ: Adobe

and:

I mentioned Adobe Photoshop 2023 because that is what appeared in my menu.  I do have the beta version (24.0) installed as well, but it was not running it at the time.  I had the latest release of Adobe Photoshop (23.5.1) open when I tried to edit my image from Adobe Lightroom Classic.  As I mentioned, it changed over to the Adobe Photoshop window, but nothing happened.  When I have time, I will uninstall and reinstall.

As a further update, if I have beta version of Adobe Photoshop open, the right-click menu option does work correctly and opens the file.
