Topic Photoshop Beta

Early this week, I downloaded Photoshop Beta and it made itself the default in Bridge and Lightroom. Had a heck of a time trying to fix it, finally reinstalled Photoshop and deleted the beta version.

The last version installed is the one that becomes the default. It is recommended to install in order and uninstall in reverse order.

In Bridge, you can change the association in Edit > Preferences (Windows). I don't use LR and don't know how to change it there.

Is everything working for you now?

Did you try opening the version of Photoshop you want to use, then opening Lightroom. It works fine here that way (on Windows)

I have several Photoshop versions installed including beta. If I want to open from Lightroom into a specific Photoshop version, I just open that Photoshop version first. Then go to it from Lightroom.

Thank you for your email.

Why did the PS beta change the default PS in LR and bridge to the beta
version?

This not a good thing to, a beta version should not be put into a
production environment, it must be stand alone.

Installing a beta is, and has always been, something you do at your own risk. You don't install a beta version in a production environment. Nobody's forcing you.

I have not installed it for that very reason.

In Windows, if you have several versions installed, the last installed will always take over file associations. That's just how Windows works.

Hi Jane,

I'm a manager of a IT development department at a Fortune 500 company. If I
released a beta version that changed a production application, I would have
been fired. Beta applications must be stand alone.

Plus there was no way to change it back to the production version of PS in
LRC or bridge. When I reinstalled PS I had to reconfigure PS.

My Best,

Gary

Hi Gary,

There is one thing I'm confused about. Is your Fortune 500 company — where you are an IT manager — on an Enterprise plan with Adobe? We have been told that Beta is not available to those with Enterprise plans unless it is enabled by their IT department. Why was the public Beta enabled?

Hi Jane,

Will anyone be addressing the import issue in LRC, as I outlined above?

"Finally photographs edited in the beta version will not import in LRC with its layers, import screen shows, “Preview Unviable for this File”, this does not happen with the current version of PS (25.5.0)."

My Best,

Gary
