Hi~
I cannot open a photo in Photoshop Elements 15 from within Lightroom CC ver. 2015.8. Here's what happens: I select a photo in LR (I have tried in TIFF, PSD, and JPEG formats) and then choose "Edit in Photoshop Elements 15." LR creates a copy in the format I've chosen. A window pops up saying that PSE15 cannot open files in the TIFF/PSD/JPEG format. A second window appears which allows me to select and open PSE and then choose an image from my pictures folder, apparently bypassing LR altogether. I have tried with several different photos, in different formats. And it doesn't matter whether PSE is already open or not.
I found a similar question where the error message was that PSE could not be opened. The issue seemed to be resolved with LR version .8 which I already have. Also my error message is different, claiming that PSE cannot open the files in the selected format.
I have checked and rechecked the settings for external editors. Everything seems to be in order. Photoshop CC is the primary editor and PSE the "External Editor." I have also checked LR settings suggested in the earlier conversation I mentioned above.
Any ideas? I don't use PSE very often, but it would be nice to get this glitch cleared up.
Many thanks.

Click the choose button and follow the file path to the Editor Application. See my blog link. Instructions are for PSE14 but simply substitute 15

Check your settings. Make sure your are pointing to the Editor App and not the shortcut for the PSE welcome screen - see image below.

Thank you for your quick reply. My "External Editing" window looks just like your sample with the exception that mine shows the specific PSE version (15) and yours does not. I tried clearing the choice and selecting it again. Same problem. When in LR I select Photo>Edit in> the choices are photoshop CC and Photoshop Elements 15. So, unless I'm missing some detail, the solution does not lie in the direction you suggest. Thanks again, though.

Thanks again. That did it! Of course, I had been selecting the PSE editor from Applications, not from the Support Folder. Opening PSE from Lightroom works now as it should.
