I can not import jpeg psd and psb to photoshop from lightroom. It will only allow me to import raw files to edit in photoshop.

LrC doesn't know about layers. When you import a layered file, it works with a flattened composite.

If you want the layers when using Edit in, you have to choose Edit original, which does not include edits you have done in LrC.

This is not a bug, and as designed.

That is correct but when I choose Edit original photoshop give me the error page and will not open the file.

What error page?

Can you post a screenshot?

Do not attach the screenshot, use the Insert Photos button in the toolbar to insert into your post.

I'm only able to edit a non-raw fileusing the "edit a copy with lightroom adjustments" which leaves me with a flattened imge with no layers.

So what happens when you try to send these non-raw files to Photoshop?

Are you not seeing this dialog?

Do you by "Import" mean using Edit in Photoshop in Lightroom Classic?

And what happens when you try to send these non-raw files to Photoshop?
