Your Photoshop's Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) version needs to be quite recent to handle K-5 files.
If your version of Lightroom is opening them fine, then I suggest that you do that and use the "Edit in" option that you'll see by right-clicking on any image in the Library module. When you select Edit-in you should see your Photoshop listed. When you use that, it sends a layered TIFF to Ps for editing. After you've done your edits, simply Save from Ps and a complete layered TIFF is returned to Lr where it will be inserted beside the original in your Library. (You can actually do iterative editing this way, out of Lr and back again until you are done with it.) I find this workflow to be the best way to deal with the large catalog of images and Ps-edited versions all in one place. Much cleaner than my old "methods" which closely resembled an industrial dumpster.
