Hi @bart_8542,

Thank you for sharing your Lightroom Classic and Photoshop versions. Since you’re on macOS 15 with LrC 15.0 and Photoshop 27.0, the most common cause of this specific error, especially when using Edit In > Photoshop, is missing macOS permissions that prevent Photoshop or Lightroom from accessing the files.

Please check the following:

Open System Settings
Go to Privacy & Security
Open Files & Folders
Scroll to Photoshop & Lightroom and ensure that access is enabled for all relevant locations, including removable drives if your images are stored there.
Then go to Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access
Make sure Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, and Adobe Creative Cloud all have Full Disk Access enabled
After enabling the permissions, quit both apps and restart your Mac.
Once the system is back up, try Edit In > Photoshop again.

If the issue persists after updating these permissions, let me know, and we’ll move forward with deeper checks.

Regards,
Anshul Saini
