Premiere's Edit in Photoshop not working

Hello everyone.  

I have been working with Premiere pro for a long time now and one of the things I use a lot is the "edit in Adobe photoshop" feature to make quick changes to my images in PHOTOSHOP.

 

About a month ago this feature in premiere stopped working.  It will open photoshop but not the actual image.  It just lands on the home screen and sits there.  I am having this problem with all kinds of files... .jpg, .png, .TIFF, .PSD... etc.

 

Does anyone know how to fix this.

 

I have restarted my computer... uninstalled and reinstalled both programs... called adobe... Now I need the help of anyone who might know of a solution.

 

I am on a MacPro 2019 tower with 80 GB of RAM.

Running Premiere Pro 2021 - I upgraded and it did not help

Running Photoshop 2021 - I upgraded but it didn't help

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Rename which file? I tried renaming the premiere project file, but that did not help. I am running 24.4.1

Hi @marko77859422,

I don't think @garyl37343953's suggestion would work since you are on macOS. However, that comment reminds me: you may want to inspect Privacy & Security preferences. I could not reproduce the issue on my Mac here, but I hope the community can assist.

 

Thank You,

Kevin

Sounds like the registry keys (Windows ) will have to be edited...anyone know the entries?

Can't help sorry. But I'm having exactly the same issues since upgrading to Monterey from Big Sur & updating Adobe apps.

Hi James,

Are you accessing these files with Enterprise or Educational licensing? When you updated your OS, did you do an erase and install? That is one thing I did that many people avoid. Perhaps that's the ticket?

 

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Community,

Works fine on my 2018 MacBook Pro - Big Sur. v.22.1.2

Hi Kevin,

How nice for you!

But it doesn't work with the latest version of Premiere/Photoshop on an M1Pro running Monterrey.

Is there a fix or not?

Thank you

Hi Kenneth,

Sorry about that. I have it installed now on my M1 and Monterey. It is working as expected. I am not sure what you've got going on differently than I do. Have you tried repairing disk permissions or resetting preferences? That might help. If you are still having trouble, contact our support staff here.

 

Thanks,

Kevin

I have the same problem as Mark and others. "Edit in Adobe Photoshop" does not open photo file in Photoshop. I really miss it, used to work well. Also, I'd love to see a "Edit in Adobe Lightroom" option in Premiere Pro.

MacBook Pro 2019, Monterey 12.1

Try resetting the preferences:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.

Thanks for trying, but it didn't work. 

 

Adobe tech support is telling me that it's a known issue that there is no solution for.  This of course makes me wonder why none of my editor friends are having any issues with this.

 

Anyway, if you have any other suggestions, please let me know.

 

Once again, Thanks.

Same problem here. Anyone found a solution?

Same problem here, also on a Mac.  @Mark16E5 got a workaround, but it has to be a solution for it...  The "edit in Adobe Audition" function works well

I've been having the same issues.  My work around has been to "locate the file in the finder" then open it from there into PS.
