Photoshop won't let me edit my file

[Sven_Verbruci]

Another curious case...

I always import my photos into Lightroom (CC classic) where I do the most of my editing work. I do also make thankfully use of the 'edit in Photoshop' function for some additional retouching. This function works fine, as the photo is being opened in Photoshop, but somehow I can't do anything with the file in Photoshop. All options and functions are greyed out, except for the ones under the 'files' tab.

Now, when I open any random RAW file directly in Photoshop (without Lightroom), this problem does not occur. Also after doing so, I can use the 'edit in Photoshop' function from Lightroom and Photoshop will let me edit the file as it should.

I use the latest versions of LR and PS. I've searched above and beyond on the internet, but I can only find posts and items regarding where the 'edit in Photoshop' function itself isn't working, but that's not the case here.

Any help?

Hi

This is a known issue, workaround is to have Photoshop opened first and then Lightroom or you could try disabling the Home Screen in preferences

Thanks a million! Disabling the home screen did the trick. Back to work!

You're welcome

At the rate these are coming in - ten or twenty a day! - and still no sign of the promised bug fix, I need to minimize typing. So from now on my response in these threads will be:

Known bug

Fix coming

Kill home screen

That's almost a haiku

How do I disable home screen? Do I have to enable home screen when I log out? I don't use light room, I do all of my editing in photoshop.
