Editing a picture in Photoshop 2021 from within LR 10.0 makes the color profile disappear and the image loses all it's vibrancy... Any idea how to fix that? Top image is what I see in LR. Bottom is how it shows up in Photoshop...

Yes. Are you using software and a calibration device to make the BenQ profile?

Is this what you are referring to?

Never even heard of display profiles before.  What are they and how do I go about doing that?  Thanks!  (sorry for dumb question - if it is a dumb question...)

I am not building these profiles - I bought them.

I'm referring to rebuilding your DISPLAY profiles.

@andrew_rodney I turned off the GPU in both LR and PS - no change.  I didn't expect that to help since the behavior changed with the latest giant release of LR/PS and then changed again this week with the ACR update and I've had the same GPU the whole time.  🙂

Also, no GPU issue would explain why the custom profiles do not appear in the grid/list in PS ACR, but they do in LR and also in PS ACR when opened as Smart Object.  Something is definitely wrong in the ACR component...

I am not building these profiles - I bought them.  I have had the same issue with profiles from two different sources.  They are working absolutely fine in LR and also in PS when opened as Smart Object, so I can't believe that they are corrupted in any way.  Again, behavior changed with the big update and again (in a different way) in the most recent ACR update, so I don't believe the problem lies in the profiles themselves.

Anything else you want me to check?  I already sent in example files to @arjun_haarith - have you all been able to reproduce this behavior?

Thanks!

The color settings look good meaning whatever you asked for for a color space in Edit In pref's are honored. Not sure but it would be useful to know. 

Anyway, it's probably a GPU or profile issue. First, try disabling GPU in the preferences (Performance pref's of LR and Photoshop). Any better?
If not, recalibrate and build a new ICC display profile, the old one might be corrupted.
If you are using software/hardware for this task, be sure the software is set to build a matrix not LUT profile, Version 2 not Version 4 profile.
If turning OFF GPU works, it's a GPU bug and you need to contact the manufacturer or find out if there's an updated driver for it.

@andrew_rodney Settings below!

I showed the profile in the LR screen shot.  I used CF Landscape V4 in that case to demonstrate because it is pretty vivid and easy to see if it is applied or not.  That is a third party profile from Color Fidelity (since the R5 is not well rendered by the Adobe defaults...hint, hint.)  🙂


Any other information I can provide?  Happy to!

@dprosk Let's take this step by step and try to come to a resolution. 

First, there are profiles in LR/ACR which control the rendering of the image. Camera profiles as an example you pick in the browser. What did you select? 

Next, when that image appears outside ACR/LR, it is rendered and described with a totally different kind of profile. 

When you Edit in Photoshop, you pick that profile in the preferences; what is it? Then, please show us the Color Settings Preferences you have setup in Photoshop. Hopefully everything is set to Preserve and all check boxes on, like this:

I tried with a RAW (not CRAW) image and it has the same broken behavior.
