LRC to Photoshop .CR3 files opening incorrectly

When opening .CR3 file from within LRC and sending it to Photoshop it bypasses the Raw convertor opening straight into Photoshop.
I have checked I have latest Raw update, latest LRC and latest PS.
If I go to the file on the hard drive and open straight to Photoshop it does open the raw convert option.
Any suggestions what I am missing?

This is how it's supposed to work.

When opening from LrC, the settings are transferred to ACR which opens it silently into Photoshop. There is no reason to show the ACR interface. The settings are already made in LrC.

Remember that LrC and ACR are identical. They share the same processing engine.

But when sending a photo across how does it know for example what exposure\contrast\White Balance etc. I want to apply to a specific image?

I cannot see a develop module, there is a task panel on the right marked Quick Develop but this has very few options to alter the image as you would have in Photoshop Raw.

Here is what it looks like in a normal Lightroom Classic 14 installation.

You can Edit in Photoshop from the Library or Develop modules.

Below is what it looks like in the Library module. The command to send to Photoshop is Photo > Edit In > Edit in Photoshop, as shown.

Below is what it looks like in the Develop module. The command is the same as in the Library module. In addition, the Develop module is the same as Adobe Camera Raw, with raw editing controls all the way down the right panel stack.

Does your screen look different than those pictures? If so, some modules or panels might be hidden. You can show or hide any modules using the commands on the Window menu, and you can show or hide any panels using the commands on the View > Panels submenu.

Tip: You can actually send an image to Photoshop when in any module, if the filmstrip or grid is also open. Right-click the image in the filmstrip or grid, and choose Edit In > Edit In Photoshop. If you’re on a Mac and right-click isn’t enabled, Control-click the image instead.

Ah thank you I hadn't noticed that the toolbar with the Develop option was hidden and it is so feint I struggled to notice the drop down arrow to expand this to see the Develop Module as circled in this screenshot.

Now I have found it and can see the raw editing options I feel I can move forward and understand LRC better. Thank you
