I am trying to import .psb files into lightroom now that it is supported. I have the latest version of LrC and PS from creative cloud.

When I try to import a .psb in lightroom it fails and says "please re-save the file with maximum compatibility enabled".

However in PS under File handling I have save with maximum compatability set to "always". I have also tried changing it to "ask" and choosing to save w/ maximum compatibility after it asks, but regardless of which way I do it I still get the error when I try to then import that .psb into lightroom.

PSB files aren't supported. PSD are if they have maximize compatibility.

PSB file support was added in February 2020

Large Document format (PSB)​

Introduced in Lightroom Classic 9.2 (February 2020 release)
The Large Document Format (PSB) file in Lightroom Classic supports documents up to 65,000 pixels in long edge and a maximum dimension of 512 megapixels. As with the PSD file format, the file must be saved in Photoshop with the Maximize PSD and PSB File Compatibility preference turned on. Camera Raw 12.2 or greater is required to use Lightroom Classic's Edit in Photoshop feature with PSB images.

Btw my file is 22,000 x 10,000 in resolution so it should fit within the bounds of less than 65,000 pixels on the longest side and less than 500MP as well.

Are you still having trouble importing it?

A late reply: Try doing File > Save As to save the file as a new copy. There's a longstanding bug where, once a file is saved with maximize compatibility turned off, it can never be saved with it turned on.
