Edit in Photoshop CC missing in LR5

After the latest Photoshop CC upgrade two weeks ago, Lightroom 5 no longer allows "Edit in Photoshop CC" or any other Photoshop editor commands (they are greyed out). This worked fine before. Note: other ecternal editors work fine.
Windows 8.1, LR 5.3 (64 bit), PS CC 14.2 x64, ACR 8.3. Already tried deleting LR5 preferences, with no change to problem. Any suggestions?

Why is Edit in Photoshop command missing or refers to Photoshop Elements?

Q Why is the Edit In Adobe Photoshop command in the context menu missing when I right-click on a photo in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom?
or
Why is the same command under the Photo menu grayed out, and in the External Editor tab of the Preferences the upper box is labeled "Edit in Photoshop (Not Found)"?
See linked
Adobe Technote for more information

I just realised what I was doing wrong. I installed Photoshop Elements 10 but I was launching Photoshop Elements Editor not Photoshop Elements. I had no idea there were multiple applications! Now that I have launched the main Photoshop Elements Application (it then brings up a dialog where you select organize or edit) the "Edit in Photoshop Elements 10" menu item has appeared as expected in Lightroom.

"Edit In Photoshop" command missing

I bought Lightroom and Photoshop Elements 10 last year (downloaded LR v4.3 yesterday) and sat down to learn how to use them together today (www.lynda.com Using Lightroom and Photoshop Together with Jan Kabili).
When I open LR the Photo -> Edit In -> Edit In Photoshop command is greyed out (non-functional).
I tried both solutions listed under 'Solution 3: On Mac OS' on the following help page including uninstalling and re-downloading and installing PS Elements 10 and it is still not working:

Please advise how to make your programs work together. Surely, with Photoshop Elements installed and running on my computer Lightroom must be able to notice it.

Edit in photoshop greyed out in LR5

Have newly installed Photoshop CC 2014 and LR 5, all of a sudden the LR5 Photo menu "Edit in Photoshop CC 2014" button is greyed out? Was working fine for a few days

Moving this discussion to the Photoshop Lightroom forum.

"Edit in Photoshop Elements" missing from windows context menu.

How do I get the "Edit in Photoshop Elements" back in my context menu? I think what happened was that after installing PSE 13 I uninstalled PSE 12 and that may have removed the context menu item. Just guessing. Is there a way to add it back without re-installing PSE 13?

Right click on a photo file of the type that you will want to open in PSE. In the context menu, mouse over Open With to open the menu. Select "Choose default program" and in the window that opens select PSE 13 if it appears in either Recommended or Other. If it isn't shown, choose Browse and navigate to the PSE 13 .exe file in Programs/Adobe/Photoshop Elements. If you want files of this type to always open in PSE when double-clicked, check the box "Always use the selected program". If you want PSE 13 to only appear in the Open With menu, be sure the box is not checked. Click OK.

Editing in Photoshop CS5 and return to LR5 as .jpg

Hello,
I am fairly new to LR, so this may be a stupid question, but here goes....
Occasionally I have a photo that I have made my edits to in LR5 and now want to take into Photoshop CS5 to do a few minor things and I understand how that is done. My issue is that when I save it and it is brought back into LR it is now a .psd (I know that is because I have set it up that way in my LR Preferences). That is great when I want to save detailed layers with edits from photoshop incase I need to go back in and tweak them, however in the instance where the PS edits are so minor and no layers were created, I really don't want the massive file size that comes along with the .psd version. Is it possible to bring it back to LR as a .jpg? If there is a better way to handle this in my workflow please let me know.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Yes, I understand your concerns with storage space.
I would also keep the CR2 files; I shoot with Nikons and keep my NEFs.
I don't know if converting to DNG is actually such a good idea. They are called a Raw format but the more I read about that the more doubtful I become.
Adobe says that converting to DNG would be good in case the original Raw-format from camera would not be supported any more.
But Nikon and Canon have been around for quite some time - maybe longer than Adobe - and in today's corporate world there is no guarantee for permanent DNG-support either.
So it seems to me that you could stop saving DNGs since you are saving and keeping your CR2s anyway, which I would recommend.
In the past I have also edited many (if not most) of my images in PS, mostly for the reason that the spotting tool in Lr had npt been up to the task.
But that has changed with Lr5. I did some extensive spotting on some images in Lr5 recently, and it is now just as easy - maybe easier - than it is in PS.
As far as tonal and color corrections go I find that Lr is superior to PS. Naturally there is no way around PS if you need layers.
I would suggest that you have a thorough look at your workflow and ask yourself if it is really necessary that you edit in PS "for a couple of minor edits".
So you could possibly avoid amassing huge amounts of PSDs/TIFFs.
A 12-quality JPG is most probably not inferior in quality to a 8-bit TIFF or PSD. But a JPG is always a 8-bit image, whereas the other formats give you the option of saving as 16-bits, and that's what you should do if quality is a concern. You say that you have to create JPGs anyway for printing or web-use.
But that does not mean that you have to save as JPG after editing. I treat JPGs as expendables. After uploading I delete them from my system. In Lr I can always create a JPG on the fly from the original. It makes no sense for me to have JPGs sitting around.
BTW: Read this if you are interested in the question if you should use PSDs or TIFFs:http://www.teddillard.com/2009/03/tiff-vs-psd-schewe-via-luminous.html

LR5 wants update to Camera Raw 8.1 to edit in Photoshop (CS5). Can the LR5 dialogue box be ignored?

Does anyone know how i can update camera raw 6 to camera raw 8.1? When working in lightroom 5, when i ctrl-e to edit in photoshop, i get a dialog box saying i need camera raw 8.1. I have photoshop cs5, windows 7, 64 bit, camera raw 6. I dont have creative cloud. Ive tried installing adobe updater, but just get redirected to CC. Any ideas where/how I can get camera raw 8.1? Thank you.

Photoshop CS5 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 6.7
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
Camera Raw 8.1 is only compatible with CS6+ (including CC). 8.1 is not compatible with CS5.

"Edit in Photoshop" missing after upgrade to CS5

I use Lightroom 2.7 running on a Windows 7 x64 machine. I just upgraded from CS4 to CS5 and "edit in Photoshop" is no longer an option in Lightroom. Photoshop is shown as "not found".
I rebooted the computer and that was no help. I "repaired" Lightroom 2.7 using the Window installer. No help.
I'm at a loss about how to get Lightroom to recognize Photoshop CS5. Anyone have any ideas??

quote "I can only 'Edit in Photoshop.exe' because I did added an 'additional external editor'."
I have done the same thing but this is a poor work around. I use Photoshop in my workflow to finish edit photos I organize and work up in Lightroom. Using this procedure 1) takes more time as a tif or pdf file is created and edited and 2) since I don't want the edited file I have to delete after I edited it. It is a lot of extra work without any benefit.
When Photoshop is directly linked to LR the whole workflow is snappier and more efficent.
Clearly Adobe hasn't updated LR to pickup CS5.... they need to.

From LR edit it Photoshop then saving back to LR

I have just updated LR5 to LR5.2 and updated my photoshop CC and now after i chose an image in LR and edit in Photoshop it wont let me justSave and close, it keeps going to Save as which seems to creat a new filename then when I close and go back to LR it cannot locate the file so I have to keep going to 'locate missing file' to find me photoshopped image. Why cant I just save and it will make a copy back in LR like it used to. I have looked over my LR preferences and Photoshop preferences and i cant see what to fix.

Re-installing Illustrator seemed to work, even though it was fully up to date and now technically it's not, it works better now. I guess I'll be pausing the "updates" from now on.
Thanks!

"Edit in Photoshop CC" launches Photoshop, but doesn't open the image.

I'm working on a Mac with Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC. When I select "Edit in Photoshop CC" from Lightroom, Photoshop launches, but the image doesn't open up. What is going on? This is a new problem since loading Lightroom 5 & Photoshop CC - it worked normally on my machine with previous versions.
Thanks!

Hi,
I've been dealing with this problem for almost a month now and still no solution. Here's what I've tried:
- Installed PS 2014 with pre-existing PS CC and LR 5.5 with pre-existing LR 5.4. Then...
- Uninstalled LR 5.5 and PS 2014, reinstalled PS2014 first, LR second. Didn't work.
- Did the opposite - reinstalled LR5.5 first, PS2014 second. Didn't work.
- Removed PS CC and LR 5.4, reinstalled LR 5.5 and PS 2014 (in both orders). Didn't work.
- Removed everything Adobe from the computer:
   - Creative Cloud, PS CC, PS 2014, LR 5.4 and 5.5
   - Deleted everything I could find relating to PS CC, PS 2014, LR 5.4 and 5.5.
   - Ran AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe to remove all traces.
   - Reinstalled Creative Cloud, PS 2014 and LR 5.5. Didn't work.
   - Uninstalled PS 2014 and LR 5.5, reinstalled in reverse order. Didn't work.
One clue to the problem I stumbled across by accident leads me to believe the problem is something to do with ACRaw. If I try to open a JPG in LR 5.5 it opens fine in PS 2014. However if I try to open a RAW file (Nikon's NEF format) I get the "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 could not be launched" message.
This is driving me buggy. Without the ability to go back and forth between LR and PS, the whole workflow is ruined.
Any new thoughts?
Thanks, EdB

Can't "Edit in Photoshop CS6" in Lightroom 4.1, after upgrading Photoshop from CS4

I recently installed Creative Suite 6 Production Premium, and uninstalled Photoshop CS4, but Lightroom seems to be confused and doesn't show "Edit in Photoshop CS6" as an option.
Lightroom seems to be aware that Photoshop CS4 is no longer installed: the first command under "Edit In" is "Edit in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)\Photoshop...", and all the Photoshop-specific "edit in" commands (smart object, layers, etc.) are unavailable. I tried adding Photoshop CS6 as a secondary editor, but this makes Lightroom export a TIFF to PS rather than opening the file in Camera Raw.
I'm not sure what I have to do to convince Lightroom that I have Photoshop CS6 installed. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Well, I had searched the forums before and couldn't locate an answer, but ended up finding an answer through the "more like this" links at the right. The CS4 path was stored in the Windows registry; I had to update it to CS6 and it's now working perfectly.
Just in case anyone else comes across this problem, here's the forum post:

"Edit in Photoshop Elements" does not appear as option in Lightroom 4.3

After viewing this artical:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/edit-photoshop-command-missing-photoshop.html and completing all options related to the Mac, the "Edit in Photoshop..." still does not appear as a clckable option in my Lightroom 4.3 program which has all the current updates. Also, my Photoshop Elements 11 program also has all the current updates.
Please note that in the interest of time, that all of the "solutions" were attempted in the above mentioned link
Also, was on hold with Adobe Lightroom help phone support for over 1.5 hours without any agent answeing the phone. Also Adobe automatied phone support states that Photoshop Elements is not supported free of charge and it is fee based. How is a consumer suppose to have a problem corrected in Lightroom that stems from Elements when it is suppose to intergrate that way between the two programs but any help to try to correct the way it is suppose to work will cost you an addition fee in phone support for Elements?
And help on fixing this issue will be apprecitated.
Lightroom v 4.3 / Camera RAW v 7.3
Elements v 11.0 / Camera RAW v 7.3.0.71

Did this with Adobe support in LIVE CHAT, what a waist of time. Although this will correct the issue, it is like a work around and not solving why EDIT IN PHOTOSHOP... is not a clickable option (greyed out) in LR.
After the configure as suggested above, does this preclude and editing in Lighroom?
What I want to do is:
Edit the photo in LR except for:
the useage the great Spot Healing Brush Tool that PSE offers, edit that part of it in PSE then SAVE the results back to LR. Any problems or suggestions for this?
Thanks so much

Edit in Photoshop opens wrong location

This is strange. I have been a user of Lightroom and Photoshop since their first versions. I am running an early 2011 MacBook Pro with the latest versions of everything. I subscribe to Creative Cloud.
Until recently, choosing to edit a file in Photoshop via Lightroom's "edit in" resulted in the file opening my Photoshop application on my boot drive. Now, it defaults to opening the file for editing using the Photoshop application on my backup drive, which is a 2 1/2" drive stuck in a USB "toaster" and much slower. I am using Carbon Copy Cloner to perform hourly backups. This also occurs if I open a file through Bridge. When edited, the edited file gets saved in the correct location on my boot drive. I have tried everything that I know to change this. It has to be an "Adobe" thing, because if I simply open the file directly from the finder, it is opened by the Photoshop on my boot drive. Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks in advance . . . . .

This page might have information that will help – look for the Mac-specific section:

In your situation you might want to temporarily remove your external drive just before deleting your plist file, and get things working with the internal-drive-PS, before hooking up the external drive, again.

I can't open Lightroom files in Photoshop CC 2014. When I Right Click and select Edit In Photoshop CC 2014 nothing happens. I have uninstalled CC 2014 and Lightroom but no change.

I can't open Lightroom (5.7.1) files in Photoshop CC 2014. When I Right Click and select Edit In Photoshop CC 2014 nothing happens. I have uninstalled CC 2014 and Lightroom but no change.

What happens if you start up PS CC 2014, first, and then try the Edit In?
Here are a few things to try related to a similar, but not exactly the same problem:
