[See here for how to reproduce the bug and an easy workaround:

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...

still no fix, but you can do a regular Export as a workaround.

@koketso , using the profile you uploaded (Evanous 01), I was able to reproduce the bug with both PS 22.0.0 and 22.0.1, and doing Metadata > Save To File avoided the bug with both versions too.

I see the bug on all types of raw files, not just on .CR3. Saving metadata to file before you send the image to Photoshop does indeed seem to work.

Update on my working solution:

This seems to now work in conjunction with XMP sidecar files on.

It previously didn't even with XMP files on - and I can confirm the XMP was being written but Photoshop was not reading it or not reading it correctly. Again, only happened with .CR3 files.

Here is a profile for testing: https://mega.nz/file/GdpiiBpR#d0cPt45T5WjyfUF7DfZkT3th8EoY3J9jUFQDBKu9ZLQ

The bug recipe still provokes the bug on my LR 10.0 / PS 22.0.1 / Windows 10.

@koketso, perhaps you could upload one of your custom profiles to Dropbox or similar and post the sharing link here? We can see if the issue happens on other installations with your profile.

Interesting. This error is not listed as solved, and when I quickly tried it yesterday I found it was not solved. That was on a Mac, however.

Hi everyone.

Problem solved for me by updating Photoshop to the latest version as at 17-November-2020

Custom and 3rd party Profiles now carry over if you use the Edit in Photoshop option from Lightroom Classic.

Photoshop version: 22.0.1

Camera Raw Version: 13.0.2
OS Verison: Windows 10 20H2 (build 19042.630)

Are these camera profiles (ending with .dcp) or creative profiles (ending with .xmp)?

Also, let us know if any of these additional workarounds help:

I am having the same problem.
I am using custom profiles, which I have created and using for the last 2-3 years.
After finishing globla editing on lightroom I am pressing CTRL+E to edit the photo on photoshop, but unfortunately the profile is disappearing.
I tried checking "Automatically Write Changes Into XMP" without success.
