Thank you.


I was finally able to resolve this issue by installing the LR app from Creative Cloud (originally installed update from the Apple App store).

Just started happening to me as well. Any solution for this? I've tried uninstalling/installing both Photoshop and Lightroom but same thing.

Do you perhaps know which folder they're referring to? 


Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop 2024 Settings

They renamed it to Adobe Photoshop 2024 Settings.old and restarted Photoshop.

When the 'link' between Lightroom Classic and Photoshop has issues, one of the first things to try is this:
1. Use the Adobe Creative Cloud application to uninstall both Photoshop and Lightroom Classic and when asked, keep preferences. 
2. Install Photoshop first, then Lightroom Classic. The order is what is very important here.
Better?
