Edit in Photoshop CC in Lightroom 4 opens Photoshop CC on my backup drive (OS X 10.8)

Hello,
I am having an issue with Lightroom 4 that only began after I installed Photoshop CC.
Every night I clone my iMac to a bootable backup drive. With Photoshop CS6 I had no problems with this. Now, whenever I choose "Edit in Photoshop CC" from Lightroom, it opens the copy of Photoshop on my backup drive instead of the copy on my local drive. I have tried everything I can think of to correct this behavior, bit every time it reverts back to doing this. If I eject my backup drive it will then choose the correct copy of Photoshop CC. But the next time I launch Lightroom, it will tell me that the location of Photoshop CC has changed and make me enter my system password. Then it starts using the version off the backup drive again!
This is very frustrating. I don't want to have to unmount my backup drive every time I lose Lightroom. I've tried reinstalling both Photoshop CC and Lightroom 4.
Between this and my continuing inability to publish to Facebook, I'm starting to think Adobe just wants me to upgrade to Lightroom 5.

Moving this discussion to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.

Photoshop CC: Could not open Photoshop because of a Program Error. How do I fix this?

Photoshop CC: Could not open Photoshop because of a Program Error.
How do I Make sure your OS X user account has Read & Write access for the following path:

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like the actual crash logs. From your description it simply sounds like your graphics hardware is acting up, so update the graphics driver. Likewise, you may simply run out of disk space for the PS scratch file, so check that, too.

Lightroom opens Photoshop from backup drive

Sometimes LR opens PSCC 2014 from my attached BOOT CLONE (backup) drive, causing two concurrently running instances. This will happen if I have previously opened PSCC14 from the dock to load an image. LR doesn't realize PS is already running and opens it from the backup drive. This second instance finds the backup files from the fist instance and opens them as backup files. Very confusing and seems unsafe regarding losing work (i.e. which one to close down first). Once that happens, LR insists on continuing to open CC14 from my backup drive.
Have repeatedly tried to remedy this by making sure LR preferences opens the copy on the boot drive, but theres on way to differentiate from the two drives. If I shut BOOT CLONE down LR will open the copy on the boot drive, but only temporarily. I have no idea how LR even sees the BOOT CLONE, or why.
Bottom line is I never know for sure what's going on. Need a solution for this please.

Noise/grainy problems with images exported into photoshop cc from lightroom after photoshop & lightroom updates

I can't figure it out. After updating photoshop from the c6 version to the newer cc, and after also an update to lightroom through my creative cloud app, all photos exported now from lightroom into photoshop are extremely noisy and poor quality. I have adjusting settings I thought to back where I had them, but the images still don't look right. Can you help me? Slammed with photos to edit for paid gigs! Panicking. These are raw files.

My interpretation of what the OP’s situation, that they are adjusting noise-reduction and sharpening to their liking in LR, the using Edit In PS (not Exporting despite using that word) into PS and what they see in PS is much nosier than what they saw in LR and are wondering why things look different between LR and PS.
My guess as to the problem is that they’re adjusting LR-Detail settings (Sharpness and NR) using Fit zoom instead of 1:1 zoom and then viewing the image in PS, perhaps at 1:1 zoom or even at Fit-to-Window zoom in PS, and that LR’s resampling and PS’s resampling of the image for fitting to the screen are a bit different and PS’s looks rougher.
Unless the OP is comparing LR and PS at 1:1 or 100% zoom, differences are to be expected.

Bridge CS6 Photoshop Batch tool to open Photoshop CC

I have both CS6 and CC installed
I'm having the issue in Bridge CS6 that when I want to do a batch function through Tool > Photoshop > Batch this opens Photoshop CS6 and not Photoshop CC which i'd prefer it open. Is there any way to set this.
The question of me will be why I don't use Bridge CC. Unfortunately I am locked into having to use InDesign CS6 for my work and use a shortcut to reveal images in Bridge (which will only reveal on Bridge CS6), hence why I'm then forced to use Bridge 6 over Bridge CC....
So I suppose if I worked out the indesign issue i twould be ok, but I have a feeling i'll have more luck with a solution for Bridge opening a version of photoshop than solving the indesign issue.
Thanks.

Okay... but I'm using Bridge CC and when I use Tools> Photoshop > Batch it opens the files in Photoshop CS6.
How do I get Bridge CC to open images in Photoshop CC?
(Both versions of Photoshop are loaded on my computer.)

Installing Photoshop CC and Lightroom from Photoshop Phototgraphy Program

I already own and have installed Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5.3 on my computer. Do I need to uninstall these before installing the creative cloud versions or can I just leave them there?

I have the same problem, I could install Photoshop CC, Bridge CC but I couldn't install Lightroom. The Creative Cloud Window tells me that Lightroom is installed on my machine. I don't want to uninstall Lightroom before I start the installation of Lightroom from the Creative Cloud.
How is the way to do this. I have found no option to do this.
Thank you very much.

Lightroom opens Photoshop CS4 for edit but file doesn't open

I have tried looking for this thread but have not found it... 447 threads are a lot to scan...
When I try to edit a Lightroom 2.3 file in Photoshop CS4 Extended, Photoshop launches but the file does not open (same for all other edit options: layers, pano, etc.) and the follows box appears in Lightroom: "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS4 could not be launched"...
I have Windows XP Home Edition with SP3... over 3GB Ram... and all current Adobe updates...

Ah, now in that case this is where you'll find everything that you need to know, including access to the download. http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4579
Having said that, with a Mac doesn't Camera Raw install automatically from within CS4 by choosing Update from within the Help menu?
Oh, and another thing. If you open CS4, go up to Help, from the drop-down choose About > Camera Raw. If it indicates 5.5 then the raw plug-in is already installed in the correct location. It won't show if it's not installed in the correct location.

Lightroom open Photoshop CC but not the files

When in Lightroom and I click on lets say 3 selected photos and want to open them in Photoshop HDR Pro or as layers, it opens CC fine but not the files. Any ideas? It's the same problem in open in CC as layers or Panorama. None of the files open in CC.

photosbyfry, jonhillenbrand, Many users have reported the same issue and we are working on a fix.
In the mean while, i would suggest you to follow the suggestions mentioned under the below article and check if that helps.

Lightroom opens Photoshop CC opens backup copy on external disk not copy on MacHD????

When using Edit In function form Lightroom (latest) the backup version of PS CC on an external is being opened rather than the app on Mac HD.......
Why would this happen??

Because the OS doesn't realize that it's a backup disk and sees a perfectly good application there.

Using Canon 6D raw files in photoshop and between lightroom and photoshop

I have photoshop CS6 and Lightroom5

Photoshop 7 is only compatible with Camera Raw 1.0.
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
To open, Raw files from the Canon 6D you need Photoshop CS6, CC or CC 2014. Adobe no longer sells CS5 or earlier.
Or, you can download the free Adobe DNG converter
Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
Use that to convert all Raw 6D files to DNGs then try opening the DNGs in Photoshop 7.

Photoshop CS4 won't open Raw image

Not sure what happened, but when I edit a raw image, and push open Photoshop opens but does
not open the image. I just updated to 11.01, and updated camera raw to 5.6
I reinstalled Photoshop, and the updates and the same thing happens.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Okay this could be a tough one.
I don't use bridge in my normal work flow, I use ACDSee v3 for viewing my photos and graphic designs.
I am a wildlife photographer and have over 300 gigs of photos dating back to 2007.
I just installed a 2 terrabyte HD, and copied these files to this hard drive so that I have two hard drives with these files on them in case of a HD failure.
I opened a file in Camera Raw, edited it, and choose open. Photoshop opened and the would not open the file, and more or less freezes with still some capabilities in the menu. It won't close if you try and exit, and I need to use task manager to close Photoshop.
I then opened bridge, and purged the cache on that file, reopened the same Raw file CR2, edited it in ACR and then opened it in Photoshope and it opened.
I opened and closed files in a lot of older files and it worked fine. Is there a way to purge all the files, or is this not a good thing to do?
I take photos almost on a daily basis, so going through each folder would be a huge task.

Lightroom pulls up photoshop from backup drive rather than boot drive

I am using the latest versions of Lightroom and Photoshop for Mac.
I back up each night using super duper. In Lightroom, when I choose to Edit in Photoshop CC 2014, Lightroom loads Photoshop from my backup drive. The only workaround I have found is to dismount my backup drive. Is there a place I can go in either lightroom or photoshop to specify from which drive Photoshop should start when Editing from Lightroom. If I start photoshop first, then Lightroom "finds" the correct Photoshop, but I'd like to actually solve this rather than using a workaround. BTW, I used Adobe's instructions for uninstalling Lightroom and then re-installed, but that did not solve the problem.

ANSWER BELOW:
I discovered a work around - super duper has a way to create custom scripts which will NOT back up items you specify. I went to the backup drive of my main drive and deleted both photoshop CC and lightroom cc. After running super duper using the custom script (which they explain thoroughly in the latest super duper manual) and NOT backing up either Photoshop or Lightroom (in Applications) things are back to normal. If I need to reinstall either photoshop or lightroom, I can easily do that from the web.

Lightroom does not open photoshop using "Edit in adobe photoshop CC-" command.

I updated lightroom and photoshop using the CC desktop. (LR V5.3 x64, PS V14.6.2 x64) This broke the “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command.
Based on advice from this forum, I unistalled both programs completely and reinstalled them. The
“Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command is still broken.
Is there a way to fix this? I use this feature frequently.

In reply to DdeGannes:
What’s broken? -- The “Edit in adobe photoshop CC…” command does not open photoshop and the file as it did before the upgrade.
Is the "edit in function" not available? -- It is visible in the edit it menu.
Was it working before? Yes.
What happens if you click? - Nothing.
Do you get an error message? - No.
