an answer to this?

See the answer from @99jon 

"It’s because you have two files selected in the filmstrip. Choose only one and then go back to Lightroom to choose the other."

Lightroom does not offer [Open as Layers]. It does not allow [Open in Ps] for multiple selected photos. 

If you want multiple photos as layers you need to open each photo, one at a time, as suggested by @99jon , then combine them in Photoshop.

Or- As suggested use the "Find" function, or 'Open' Lightroom Photos from the Start screen of Photoshop where you can select multiple photos and {Import Selected}, but they will open as separate documents in Ps (Not as layers in one document).

   

 

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.3, Photoshop 27.5, ACR 18.3, Lightroom 9.3, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .

I don’t know that anything has been removed. Its only ever been possible to open multiple files as layers from LrC  not from Lr.

Thanks for your help, Jon. I can open first image then paste other images as layers before blending them. I can't accept the fact that adobe removed that option. It was convenient before.

It’s possible to open Lightroom cloud photos directly from Photoshop which is often what I do using the “Find” function Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac) or click the search icon - see image below.

 

Select the Lr Photos tab and choose all photos or a named album. Click a thumbnail to open the image. Repeat Ctrl+F and choose a second, third  photo etc.

    which step do you follow to import second image in photoshop? Edit in photoshop option was available before even for 3+ images selected. Why is it removed?
