Photos automatically opening in Photoshop

[Boulanger]

Greetings! 

When I try to import a downloaded .zip file of photos to Lightroom classic, they automatically open in Photoshop. How do I fix this? Thanks

Hi there,

Not sure if I understand the issue correctly. Have you unzipped the zip file? Also, how are you importing images into Lightroom?
Which version of Lightroom and Photoshop are you working on?

Regards,
Sahil

Lightroom doesn't open files. Lightroom opens Lightroom catalogs.

If it's been imported correctly, it will be there if you open the catalog. But don't expect to open the files themselves. They will, as they should, open in Photoshop.

How are you trying to import them? Double-clicking will open the files, not import them. Here's how import photos from a folder on a hard drive in case that helps.
