Couldn't have said it better myself.  By forcing us to upgrade to version 25, from 24.7; while losing certain functions (Gen fill) of V24.7 while knowing that there is a bug in v25 is just evil.  lol

Current work around. ( Annoying but it works )
#1 Revert Photoshop beta to (24.7)
#2 Do all your overall editing using Lightroomand Photoshop beta 24.7.
#3 After you have completed your overall editing between both programs do all of your ai related editing last
After Reinstalling beta 25.0.

I'm a real estate photographer and that's my work around.

NOTE TO DEVS
It would be pretty handy if you could turn off the necessary update In order to use AI on 24.7 At least temporarily until you fix your broken software.

I understand the sentiment of not using a beta in a productive environment but its been working fine for a few months, a couple of months is long enough for any process to embed itself into any busy workflow, the problem isn't that PS or LR doesn't work, the problem is a basic feature (Exporting from LR to PS) which as somebody alluded to earlier in this thread should have been picked up by the most basic of functions test before release.

The fact that such a basic bug still exists 3 weeks after it was reported and they still went ahead with making 24.7 incompatible knowing that 25 would essentially 'break' the workflow of many photographers without some creative workarounds is a very poor showing from Adobe.

Problem seems to be that Lightroom is trying to export to a .exe that doesn't exist (yet), i.e. Photoshop 2024. My workaround until recently was to rollback to Photoshop Beta 24.7 as I do use the generative fill for many things where content aware just doesn't cut it anymore. Now that Generative AI is only on Photoshop Beta 25.0 or later, this has seriously screwed up my workflow. Previously I could also export to Photoshop from Lightroom and retain the raw file extension (e.g. .nef) until I'd saved the file. Sometimes I just want to lift a face from one group shot into another - now it's creating a TIFF before I even edit in Photoshop. Quite frustrating.

When you rollback to Photoshop Beta 24.7, Lightroom does automatically pick up the "latest" version of Photoshop and reads it as Photoshop 2023. So it does seem to be an embedded instruction across Adobe platforms that "updates" the Photoshop version in Lightroom rather than Lightroom being at fault.

So for all the people in this threat falling on a sword for Adobe about it being a beta version, rolling LR back to 12.2.1 fixes this bug so its a problem on the LR side rather than the PS side.

You're right. It's a Beta and Beta versions may contain errors. So it's recommended not to use Beta in productive environments.

But what had PhotoShop Beta to do with Lightroom? I don't think that a rollback to Lightroom 12.2.1 with all the disadvantages (bugfixes, missing functions in LR) is necessary.

Here were some workarounds posted to use Beta 25.0 anyway, even if it's a bit more cumbersome than the normal way.

Losing Denoise AI??? 
What a shame - 

Adobe at its worst performance ....

So for all the people in this threat falling on a sword for Adobe about it being a beta version, rolling LR back to 12.2.1 fixes this bug so its a problem on the LR side rather than the PS side. You'll lose denoise AI doing this but its a small price to pay for losing efficient workflow. Adobe couldn't have timed this worse being in the middle of the busiest month of the year for weddings 😕😕
