I neglected to mention that fact! Ok, I think we missed part of the equation. Is the Rosetta checkbox not "sticky"? (I found that it is) Or is the Ps logo in the Dock starting from a different, non-Rosetta  app? In my experimenting, I found that Ps takes up to 30 seconds to start on my M1 MacAir with the Rostetta box checked; 2 seconds without.   Either way, to get the loop-through-Ps working, I'd look to replacing that plug-in. ...

jacky, could you stretch out your first sentence? Additional detail will help thick-skulled people like me. "in the past" -- what version of MacOS and Ps are you running? You sent an image [LrC>Photo>Edit in>Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2025, or command-E?] Is Ps already open? Or do you expect as you should that the send-to-Ps action will open the image in Ps? It's at this point that command-B doesn't give you access to the Brush tool? And this is when you hear an audible warning? I don't get the Brush tool pressing the command-B.
