Hi all,
This is soooo enfuriating, I am paying to use LR and PS, not making sure I am spending hours on a regular basis, almost every time you decide to push an update.
I am using a MacBook Pro (2022), M1 Max, 64 Gb RAM, fully spec'ed. LR and PS are the latest version of each in CC.
Every few months, the same thing happens, that after doing an update, I cannot edit in PS from Lightroom classic anymore. Last week, this was working fine. So far, I have spent over 3 hours in getting it to work and really need to edit a Newborn session I shot, I am doing some basic edits in LR and then to PS for more rigorous work.
I have already removed PS from my Mac, rebooted and reinstalled (soft, so keeping all my settings etc). And YES, I do want to keep all my custom set brushes etc. Last time, because Adobe did something, I lost all of my self created brushes, presets, actions, etc. It has cost me weeks to redo everything, because even though you have set it to back up those files and save them, they are not actually saved (thank you for that bug). Since it didn't work after reinstalling and rebooting my machine again, I tried it again, no luck.
I removed PS again and rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted --> tried again, still nothing.
Removed PS AND LR (keep settings) and rebooted. Then installed it again, hoping that would solve the issue - still not. On my desktop PC (also a very powerful machine, this works like a charm), but my Macbook is faster and it should just work.
PS is actually opening, but then nothing happens. In the beginning, I was greeted with a pop up if I wanted to create a document. when pressing No or cancel, I just get to see the last photos I have been editing in PS. when I hit yes, I see a white-ish rectangle, as a piece of paper, but not my photo. After the reinstallations, this is not popping up anymore, nor is the picture I am trying to edit.
All my raw files (CR3, Canon R5), are on the SSD of my Macbook and all are "assigned" (not missing photos). I am a lllooooooooooong time user of LR and PS (since before LR v3) and I know what I am doing, but this issue is just crazy, especcially as it happens multiple times a year. As said, last time, it was fixed with removing everything and recreating EVERYTHING from scratch, which cost me weeks, if this will happen again, I will move away from Adobe. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
