Photoshop 2 deleted?

Without Photoshop installed on this computer you will not be able to create HDR.

Without Photoshop installed- is the reason that "Edit in Photoshop" is greyed out.

In the Preferences, "Edit in Photoshop" is hard-wired into Lightroom, but if Photoshop does not exist there is no "Edit In" link available.

You have two options- Install Photoshop, or upgrade to Lr6 that has "Merge to HDR" built-in.
