Why won't Lightroom classic upload my files to photoshop unless photoshop is open?

[Arnold Dubin]

• Why won't Lightroom Classic upload my files to Photoshop unless Photoshop is open?  I'm currently using Lightroom Classic Release 9.2.1 and Photoshop Release 21.1.2

If Photoshop is open it works fine.

Can someone help me solve this problem,

Is a Drobo involved?

Or that matter, any NAS?

Even if just for your photos.

Bring up Preferences. Select the External Editing tab. In the Photoshop panel, is your version of Photoshop what is stated? As in Photoshop 2020, not just Photoshop?

Similarly, if you right click on a photo, and select Edit in Photoshop 2020, does that say Photoshop 2020, or just Photoshop?

In Lightroom Classic

under Preferences,

AdditionExternal Editing

Application - I chose Photoshop 2020

It now opens Photoshop 2020 from Lightroom Classic when I want to edit file.
