P: Lightroom Classic>Edit in PS: Long Delay+Erroneous Error Message opening Ps Beta 2024 25.0

I just recently updated Photoshop Beta to 2024 v25.0 on my Windows 11 machine.

 

Now when I try to open photos from LR 12.4 using the "edit in...", it hangs up for a time and then comes up saying "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop 2024 could not be launched."

 

When I hit "Ok" it then opens the file in Photoshop 2024. 

 

This happens with every file, even if Photoshop 2024 is already up and running at the time. 

 

This does not happen with 2023 v24.7.

So definetly a bug in PS Beta. As soon as I install the Beta branch the problems reoccur. With only the standard release installed everything is working fine.

Opening images as layers, panoramic function, everything works.

What I did notice: since the newest update I was able to select PS 2023 or PS 2024 for an external editor.

Like written before: uninstall everything via CreativeCloud. Keep your current settings. Then reinstall PS first, then LR.

Will be keeping my hands of the PS Beta branch as long as this bug is not fixed. Unfortunately this renders the software unusable.

Thanks for the reports folks. 

We need to confirm OS used (Mac or Windows or Both)

Additionally, are you using the default Edit In PS or have you created a special instance or the Photoshop Beta in Preferences>External Editors>?

If those afflicted could answer those two questions it would help us diagnose the issue.

Thank you.

So I uninstalled Photoshop Beta. And now it is not in my creative cloud and I seem to not be able to reinstall it?

 

Did I just screw myself over completely and no longer will have access to Beta? I was making some major use of the new remove feature that I will be devastated to lose. How can I reinstall Beta?

UPDATE: Due to migration of Ps beta servers, customers must update to 25.0 or later to continue to use GenAI technology. If you wish to remain on 24.7 for LrC workflows, you will not have GenAI available any longer.  One temp solution will be to use Ps release version for the LrC back and forth workflow and only use Ps 25.0 beta for GenAI work.


For instructions on rolling back your version of the Photoshop see this doc: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/using/install-previous-version.html 

 

Thank you for your patience.

I'm seeing the same thing. LR Classic 12.4, PS Beta 25.0, Windows 11.

Having problems transfering images directly from Lr desk top.  After some minutes I get a message saying problems opening Ps Beta, then when I click on OK it suddenly opens.  This has only happened since I updated to v 25.

Also experiencing same problems after updating to Beta v25.0 tonight.

 

I get the following two errors after several minutes of idle waiting. 

 

The AgStoreProviderSession error is randomly found in the Adobe forums with no solutions listed going back over 6 years.

 

I've also had a few files open with extreme errors like this:

 

Will probably be installing the previous version of Photoshop Beta for the time being as I'm working under deadline right now and don't have time to waste on this.

This likely has nothing to do with Classic and everything to do with Photoshop Beta. Have you posted in the PS Beta forum?

@Rikk Flohr: Photography  I'll move the posting to the Photoshop Beta forum.

When the 'link' between Lightroom Classic and Photoshop has issues, the first step is to try this: 

Use the Adobe Creative Cloud Application to uninstall Photoshop. When asked, keep preferences! After this reinstall Photoshop again. 

 

What happened if you start PS Beta first and put it into the background? Will the photo then open in PS Beta when you pass it from LR to Photoshop?

I receive this error whenever I attempt to open a file from LrC into PS beta 25.0.  The file eventually opens.

This is exactly what happens for me. It does eventually open but it's often a couple minutes later. I am attempting to uninstall and reinstall Lightroom Classic to see if that will forge a proper connection. But I'm getting very frustrated. This is a big part of my workflow.

Uninstall/reinstall did not work. It still comes up saying it can't launch it and then finally opens it. Definite bug that is REALLY irritating as it slows down my workflow significantly.
