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.

Hello,

I have a problem when I want to edit a photo from lightroom in photoshop using the existing function in lightroom.

I get an error after which it opens the image in photoshop but it takes about 3/4 minutes.

[Oluwadele28816663ugfp]

I think I found a solution..  Just revert to the previous version and it will work fine

I am having the same issue with not being able to launch a photo in Photoshop Beta 25.0 from the edit in feature in Lightroom Classic. I, too, have found the file will open approximately 2 minutes later after receiving the error message and clicking 'Ok'.

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

I have also found that reverting to 24.7 allows the photo to be launched in Beta. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 25.0 multiple times. Yesterday, I stumbled upon something that might be the cause. However, I have not been able to replicate it. After uninstalling 25.0 I noticed that my Mac's dock contained the '?' indicating the location of the previous Phtoshop beta icon. However, at the right end of the dock there was another Photoshop Beta icon with a dot underneath indicating it was still open. (This was after it had been uninstalled.) I clicked on the icon and Photoshop Beta opened. I opened Creative Cloud and it showed that Photoshop Beta 25.0 (and previous versions) were available to be installed. So, it appears that multiple programs existed on my my MAC. I closed the program and 'quit' the application from the dock. I thoroughly searched my computer and could not find any other reference, files, apps that indicated Photoshop Beta still existed or was installed. I reinstalled 25.0 and the original issue repeated itself. At this point I have decided to give up and be happy with 24.7 for the time being. However, I was really excited to try out the new Expand feature in 25.0. Hopefully there is a fix, soon!

Latest LR here on Windows 11 with both PS updated to 24.7 and beta 25 just 2 days ago. Since then I can't "Edit in Photoshop" any more. I can manually configure old PS via custom preset and that works. 

It launches the app but no images are loaded and then minutes later LR starts to complain that PS wasn't loaded, etc, sometimes this fancy error. And then it loads that file. Hardly tolerable at all when you need to do work.

[Zealous_fantasy5D53]

On the surface of it beta became 25.0 or 2024. Maybe something doesn't connect anymore. It wasn't great but now it just stops us from working.

PS Beta V 25.0 will no longer open photos for editing from LR V 12.4 when using MAC OS Ventura 13.5. The following error message is displayed:  The file could not be edited because PS Beta could not be launched.

[Eric269890627poe]

sometning i don't understand is why LRC doesn't open image in PS, because we all have the same error message, and after 2 or 3 attemps, 2 or 3 minutes, finally the image popup in PS or PS Beta,  so it should be easy for Adobe to fix that, i guess we will have new LRC, PS and PS Beta soon, hope these version won't create any new problem. It would be kind from Adobe to make a discount on every clients next payment...

When I use E or the dropdown menu to transfer a photo from Lightroom Classic to Photoshop Beta, it starts Photoshop but the file transfer does not happen. After some seconds, I get a message in Lightroom which says “The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop (beta) could not be Launched.” This is false because it has launched Photoshop. Also, as soon as I hit OK on that message from Lightroom, it switches to Photoshop and the file has been transferred.

This does not happen with any of the other plugins (Topaz or ON1). I have already uninstalled Photoshop Beta and reinstalled it. No difference. This transfer worked fine until yesterday.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions?

Thanks
Rob

SAME problem here (version 24.7.0)! Every 2nd or 3rd image my photoshop freezes when I open Camera Raw. A small window pops up (progress bar), but then it freezes. The only solution is to force quit and then repoen photoshop. This is extremely frustrating, as it slows my workflow and I only can work on 2 or 3 images before the next forced quit. Meanwhile I save the image before opening Camera Raw, as a lesson of many lost hours of unsaved editing. 

I already tried all the preferences settings in https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html but it didn´t fix the problem.

PLEASE ADOBE, HELP!!!

[jakub.gosztyla]

I have the same issue as well,  I click 'Edit with photoshop" or whatever and  Photoshop Beta is opening and.. nothing, file won't open.  Can anybody from ADOBE help..?!  I'cant work like this, this is FRUSTRATING. 

[robertp7966352]

I am on a MacOS Ventura Macbook Pro.

I am using Photoshop Beta as my default editor.  Shows in preferenes that way and use cmd-E or the drop down Edit In menu to get to it.  All the same result

I'd say due to it being a BETA it's not quite ready for prime time and Adobe is using everyone as free guinea pigs to play with their new versions and report back.  I just uninstalled the Beta and will wait until they release the new features to the full version.

I'm having the same experience.

I'm on Winidows 10, Version 22H2.

Hilfe. Ich bin es gewohnt, daß ich aus LRC heraus Raw-Dateien nach Photoshop hin öffnen kann, dort dann bearbeiten, abspeichern und dann wieder die bearbeiteten Dateien als weitere Dateien in LRC automatisch mit in der Bibliothek angezeigt zu bekommen und für die weitere Betrachtung und Bearbeitung zu  Verfügung zu haben in LRC. Seit zwei /drei Tagen on Photoshop auf Version 24.7.0 und somit seit neuestem Update weil davor sicher 6 Wochen nicht an beiden Programmen tätig, zeigt mit Photoshop nur einen schwarzen Bildschirm ohne Fehlermeldung und ohne die Datei welche ich zum öffnen in LR ausgewählt habe anzuzeigen. Also weder Fehlermeldung noch Bearbeitungsmöglichkeit. Klar kann ich auch den Umweg gehen die Datei im Explorer anzeigen zu lassen und sie darüber in Photoshop zu öffnen, dann aber ohne die bereits erfolgte Raw Entwicklung inkl. Beschnitt etc. welche ich bisher immer in LR gemacht habe. Nur in 2 - 5 % aller der Fälle wünsche ich eine zusätzliche PS Bearbeitung meiner Bilder. Und selbst wenn ich dann diesen oben beschriebenen Umweg gehe und nochmals über das RAW-Modul (Camera Raw 15.4.1)  entwicklen muss, muss ich dann das abgespeichetre Ergebnis hinterher in LR auch nochmals synchronisieren um es dort überhaupt in der Biblithek angezeigt zu bekommen. Fortschritt nach Update sieht für mich anders aus, das ist Rückschritt und Arbeitsbehinderung pur. Kann es was damit zu tun haben, daß ich eine Zeitlang mal auf Photoshop Beta umgestiegen war? Ich hab aber auch in PS Beta im Moment das völlig identische Problem wie oben bereits beschrieben. Was kann ich tun um zum alten Workflow zurückzufinden?

Downgrade to PS 24.7. I have the same problem and it was fixed with the downgrade.

[GirishPandit]

I have latest version of Lightroom classic and I also have Photoshop 2023 and Photoshop Beta 2023 installed. I also configured Photoshop Beta 2023 as additional PSD editor. Now the problem is when I am in LR and try to right click on any image and say Edit in Photoshop Beta 2023 then I get a popup message saying not able to open external editor Photoshop Beta, I click OK and next moment it creates the PSD file of the original file and than open Photoshop Beta 2023 but to do this all sometime it take 2 minutes and some time more.  I am on Mac OS latest version. All patching of OS, Adobe including RAW and all are latest.

[helloma]

From what I have read their are many having the same issues. Cannot open in layers. The Beta version is not working. Now my Lightroom keeps wanting to import images every 2 minutes. 

I have tried taking Photoshop and the Beta version back to previous versions to no avail. It started on the 29th July. Hoping for a fix from adobe today. 

[Ken314409128iav]

I have the same issue with Lightroom and both Photoshop 2023 and beta. I am at a loss as to what to do...

[simons51438619]

Hi Sameer,

I also have been running into this issue since the latest update. When I choose to Edit in Photoshop (beta), nothing happens for a while, and then a few minutes later I am hit with a bunch of delayed error messages. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled as you mentioned above, but nothing has helped.  This puts a major delay in my workflow - wondering if there might be another workaround?

 

 

 This last error message pops up  quite a bit and I have to hit ok several times for it to go away.

[Jerald3046178117xe]

I am experiencing a similar problem, starting with Photoshop Beta 25.0.0 update on Mac OS X and Intel chipset. Ventura 13.5. I cannot open it in Photoshop as layers or a single image edit. The problem also occurs with production Bridge 13.0.3.393. 

If I am patient, I first get the error: The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop (Beta) could not be launched. 

Wait about 5 minutes, and the image opens in Photoshop. I understand Beta code is Beta code. There will be bugs and performance issues. I'm sure there is a bunch of debug code running, and things have not been optimized. As a beta citizen, I am reporting the issue.

When I first encountered the problem, I uninstalled all Adobe apps and reinstalled the production code. Everything was working as expected. When I installed the beta, the problem came back. Of course, my workaround is configuring LrC to open the production 2023 code, not the beta.
