Instant crash when applying or opening projects with "Color Profile Converter" in Adobe 2026

Since updating to the new Adobe 2026 release, interacting with the "Color Profile Converter" effect causes the application to crash instantly to the desktop without any error message or warning.

1. I cannot apply the "Color Profile Converter" to any new layers.

2. Worse, I cannot open ANY existing projects that already have this effect applied. The program instantly crashes upon loading the project.

Steps to Reproduce: Scenario A (New Project):

1. Open Adobe 2026.

2. Create a new composition and add any layer (solid, footage, etc.).

3. Apply the "Color Profile Converter" effect to the layer.

4. Result: Instant crash to desktop.

Scenario B (Existing Project):

1. Try to open an existing project file that contains the "Color Profile Converter" effect.

2. Result: The software crashes instantly during the project loading phase.
