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.

When I open a photo from LR Classic to PS, I am receiving an error that says that it is unable to locate PS 2024. After about 5 min, it will then open? 😊

Wenn choosing "Edit in Photoshop Beta, edit a copy with lightroom adjustments", I get the following error message: "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop (Beta) could not be launched." In some cases the file is openede after a while in Photoshop. Editing original works as expected. Occasionally some error message with something like "error returned, input not valid" (or similar) is shown additionally,

Lightoom 12.4, Photshop Beta 25.0.0, Mac OS Ventura 13.5 (Intel)

Hello. I'm on lightroom. I want to modify my retouched photo from lightroom to photoshop, i.e. the function "open as a dynamic object in photoshop" or "modify in adobe photoshop 2024". Before I could do it. For 2 days now I can't do it all. It gives me this message: "The file has not been modified because Adobe Photoshop could not be launched". Another error message: "Ligtroom was unable to prepare the file selected in G:\......filename.....ARW for editing. It will not be opened. How can I solve my problem?

bonjour. Je suis sur lightroom. Je veux modifier ma photo retouchée depuis lightroom vers photoshop c'est à dire la fonction "ouvrir en tant qu'objet dynamique dans photoshop" ou "modifier dans adobe photoshop 2024". avant je pouvais le faire . Depuis 2 jours je ne peux plus tout le faire. Il me met ce message : "Le fichier n'a pas été modifié, car Adobe photoshop n'a pas pu être lancé". Pourtant Photoshop Beta ou alors Photoshop 2023 se lancent correctement d'ailleurs. autre message d'erreur : "Ligtroom n'a pas pu préparer le fichier sélectionné dans G:\......nom dufichier.....ARW pour modification. Il ne sera pas ouvert." Comment résoudre mon problème ?

I have exactly the same problem.
If I wait at least 2 minutes sometimes the file is open in PS. Doesn't matter if it is PS 2024 beta or PS 2023 opened

I tried to uninstall LRC and reinstall it (I also removed my preferences) but the problem remain

Hi, when I use Lightroom and select photo to edit in Photoshop 2024 ( Beta) , Beta launches onto home screen and file doesn't show up in edit screen. A few mins later error display on Lightroom  says Photoshop 2024  can't launch, then another error says can't edit file in Photoshop . I acknowledge the errors and the file is then opened up in Photoshop 2024 beta  and a tiff is prepared in Lightroom , and then all is ok 

All latest updates are applied, I didn't have this issue till the last two Beta Photoshop updates, it was ok before

Actually, one behavior I am noticing in v24.7 is that when you open a file from Lightroom into Photoshop it does not automatically switch to Photoshop's window, although the file is instantly opened.  Typically when hitting ⌘+E to Edit in Photoshop it will also automatically switch to Photoshop's window, whether it is already open or not; not the case with v24.7.

Reverted back to v24.7 and things are working normal again.

 

Looking forward to v25.1 being stable and releasing very soon.

Something of note, possibly in relation to the problems taking place.

 

In Photoshop v25.0 RAW files opened from Lightroom generate TIF or PSD files (depending upon your setting) placed beside the original file before it opens in Photoshop v25.  This is reflected in the file that is open in the tab in Photoshop:

 

Reverting back to Photoshop 24.7, no such file is generated (as has been the normal case for as long as I can remember), and the file that is open in Photoshop is the Lightroom edited RAW file itself, presumably stored in RAM, as is typical behavior.  The TIF/PSD/PSB/etc file is generated by Photoshop upon saving.

 

Seems to me there is a problem with v25 where Lightroom is being expected to create a file saved to disk for Photoshop to open, which explains why this dialogue shows when editing in v25 when the file finally opens after waiting several minutes, and you don't get it when reverted back to v24.7.

I'm getting the following issues, after several minutes of files not opening from LR Classic 12.4 into Photoshop Beta v25.0.

 

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 corruption like this:

 

I'll be reverting to an older version for now as I don't have time to deal with this type of severe issue right now.
