Photoshop won't access my Lightroom photos.

[Mokey D Luffy]

So, I am completely new to Photoshop CC 2018, or any version of Photoshop for that matter.  I have been editing photos exclusively in Adobe Lightroom Classic CC all year.  Before that, I had a small amount of photos that I had edited in Lightroom CC.  I switched to Lightroom Classic because I liked the interface better, and it seemed to have more options.

I wanted to take the plunge into Photoshop so that I could get some better edits done.  I was trying to learn some things through some online tutorials.  However, I ran into an issue when trying to grab photos from Lightroom.  It is only looking at photos that I edited in Lightroom CC, and I cannot locate any of the many other photos that I have been editing in Lightroom Classic CC.  Is this normal?  Was all of that editing wasted?  Is there a way for Photoshop CC 2018 to work directly with Lightroom Classic CC?

Sorry for asking what seems like an easily answerable question.

Okay, so at least I think that I found a way to work around it.  If I am in Lightroom, I can click on a photo and tell it to edit in Photoshop, and then I get moved directly to editing in Photoshop.  At least I can now try and learn basics, while knowing that I can access my Lightroom photos.

I don't know what the deal is with the home screen of Photoshop that will only look for the Lightroom that I don't use, but it seems that I can accomplish some things at least.
