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...

I just tested the workaround with LR 10.2 / PS 22.3.1, and it works for me.

Note that the setting Catalog Settings > Metadata > Include Develop Settings In Metadata doesn't ensure that a photo's most recent metadata is saved to the file or .xmp sidecar.  It just specifies that whenever metadata is saved, the Develop settings will be included.

To ensure the most recent metadata is saved before editing in PS, do Metadata > Save Metadata To File or set Catalog Settings > Metadata > Automatically Write Changes Into XMP.

Aaaaand we're back to where we began - this time even with XMP files saved next to their raw files (Catalog Settings > Metadata > "Include Develop settings...")

"Edit in Photoshop" does not carry over the Profile, even though the profile can be selected from both Lr and ACR.

Photoshop 22.3.1
ACR 13.2

Lightroom Classic 10.2
Windows 10 20H2

Je teste ce 21 avril 2021 - macOS 11.2.3 LrC 10.2 PS 13.2

SI le profile est appliqué depuis LrC, et un fichier .xmp existe ou est créé, ce profile n'est pas enregistré dans le .xmp, donc si on uvre le RAW directement avec PS, donc recherche des paramètres dans le .xmp ce profile ne pourra pas être appliqué puisque celui-ci ne sera pas enregistré ou mal reproduit dans le .xmp
Après ces km d'explications, vois la situation résumée en quelques lignes, merci de corriger ceci dans une proche prochaine version !

Did you apply a custom camera profile to this image? There is a bug in Lightroom/Photoshop that such a profile is not applied when using Edit in Photoshop. Search for it here in the forum; there should be a very long thread including some work around suggestions. I don’t think that bug is fixed yet.

With my limited experience opening images from Lightroom, I get the best results by opening as layers. I just use it for focus stacking and experimenting with Super Resolution but I don't experience your problem. I'm using Windows, not sure that matters and I only send raw images to Photoshop.

For MacOS, make sure you are on 11.2 or newer or pre-11.0.

When opening an image in Photoshop, from the "edit in Photoshop" command in LR Classic, the image is grossly oversaturated. However, if I first export the image as a PSD file, then open that file in PS, it matches the look in LR. Up to date on both LR and PS. Working on a Mac, with Mojave OS. Have not changed any of my preferences in either program. Problem just appeared today, after a lifetime of always matching. Any suggestions?

Hi,

after reporting it above and then had Adobe call me. yep, definitely an issue with transfer of 3rd party profiles. The work around mentioned in this forum works. LR takes a while to create the xmp files. Other option is to right click the photo you intent to transfer clicking - metadata- save metadata to file/ update DNG preview. 

Support said he would make a note. not sure if anything will happen
