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

[crysania4]

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.

Can anyone explain how to revert back to the prior Beta? Don't see how to do that in the Creative Cloud Desktop app.

Mine doesn't show the three dots

Seit dem Update von PS Beta auf die Version 25.0 kann ich Bilder aus Lightroom nur noch auf vielen Umwegen in PS Beta bearbeiten. Ich bekomme ständig eine Fehlermeldung siehe Screenshot. PS Beta ist aber geöffnet und gestartet nur das zu bearbeitende Bild ist nicht zur Bearbeitung geladen.

Mesmo problema aqui. Por enquanto a Adobe não tem solução. Voltei para a versão Beta anterior (24.7) até que corrijam isso.

Fully up to date operating system
Fully up to date versions of LightRoom, PhotoShop (PS) and PS Beta.

Symptoms...

Open LightRoom Classic. 
Select in Preferences - Edit in Photoshop version - Set to PhotoShop Beta

Right click a NEF or TIFF image and select Edit in PS.

When using Beta, PS Beta opens, but the image is not available.

Close PS Beta 
Get error message in LightRoom saying PS Beta could not open

Repeat until successful.

Same problem here. It looks like it has to do with the version number change. Previously, the beta tracked the non-beta version (until 24.7, at least). Now they moved the beta to 25.0 and kept the non-beta at 24.7. The solution I found for now was to go back to the previous version (24.7) of the Beta.

Same with me. Solution, Uninstall LR Classic and Photoshop 2024 (beta)  Re install Photoshop 2024 (beta)   latest version, then re install Lightroom Classic Version 12.1. No more errors  👍

good grief, why can't i unsub from this thread??? 

and why don't people know to search for a topic before creating a new one?

Hi,
I am joining you on this problem. It does not work with either PS Beta or PS (normal).
I installed the older version (Beta 24.7) and there it works again.
What can be the reason?
Thanks in advance for the solution!

Greetings Peter

I really don't feel like uninstalling LR Classic - kinda stressful.

Go to Adobe Cloud and check your applications. Next to PS on the right you see 3 dots. Click on the 3 dots and then click on other versions and there it shows you the previous versions you can then install

[ksetterfield]

I started having the same issue, getting the error:

The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop (Beta) could not be launched.

I've followed your recommendations several times; uninstalling LrC and PS & reinstalling them (PS first). They are installing direclty from the CC app, so both apps indicate they are "Up to date".  It will initially work for the first photo you try and "edit-in" from LR, but does not work for subsequent photos.  I've tried it at least 3 times, adding additional steps like shutting down my Mac once the software has been uninstalled, etc. Nothing works. Super frustrated.

Je viens de reinstaller photoshop beta et toujours le même problème.

I am also having a problem opening a file in PS Beta from Lightroom on Mac.  I cannot even access Adobe Cloud apps to try to uninstall and reinstall or revert to an earlier version.  I am logged into Creative Cloud. but nothing happens when I click on open apps.

[nigelh72856175]

I had the same issue - Lightroom refers to the beta version as Photoshop 2024 and the release version as Photoshop 2023, and I couldn't change the preferences to specify the latter. After uninstalling and reinstalling the Photoshop release version (keeping my settings), as suggested somewhere, Lightroom allowed me to select one or the other to edit files in, and after closing and restarting Lightroom editing worked as before. I've disabled auto-updating of the beta version in the hope that this will prevent the problem from recurring.

[Psy1ocke]

I did a brief search and found answers related to earlier versions of PS but not specifically the beta version. 

[erint99722020]

Some of us have been using Beta for months now and not had a problem. To expect people to go back to the older version of PS without Generative Fill is NOT HAPPENING. We know what the word Beta means. We just want the problem fixed or a solution. 🙂

Both updated and now I can't put photos from LRC to Photoshop Beta

[Florian31388347l9kl]

have the same issue w/ PS 25.0  LR 12.4

[SureshK]

Here is the solution that worked for me. 

From Creative Cloud App (click on three dots>other versions), installed previous version of Lightroom Classic 12.3 

Installed previous version of Photoshop 2023 V24.6 

Open photoshop 2023 first.

Open Lightroom and photos can now be opened in PS 2023. 

Thanks to all those who suggested to revert to the previous versions.

I've moved your post from Creative Cloud Desktop to Photoshop Beta for you.

This is very irritating as it slows down our workflow significantly.
The current Photoshop Beta 25.0.0 (with the Generative Crop) release does not open the file when I press the usual Command E or the Edit In, in the menu in LightRoom Classic.
Then after a minute or so I get the message:

• The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop (Beta) could not be launched.

Then it does open in LR Classic.
Trying to open in Photoshop 24.7.0 from Lightroom Classic does not work either.
With the previous Photoshop Beta 24.7 the files opened very quicky from Lightroom Classic.
