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...

    Thank you @John_R_Ellis !  Concise description and just confirmed that the save metadata to file just before entering PS works for me.

    *cyfoto I just installed and tried it and the problem is still there.  I think the issue is in Adobe Camera Raw, so I am hoping that the next update of that component will resolve?

    [Here's a concise synthesis of previous posts and my own testing]

    When you edit a raw photo in Photoshop that has a creative profile containing a LUT, Photoshop loses the profile.  A workaround is to do Metadata > Save Metadata To File right before editing in Photoshop, or alternatively, set the option Catalog Settings > Metadata > Automatically Write Changes Into XMP.

    To reproduce:

    1. Make sure Photoshop is not running.

    2. In LR, uncheck the option Catalog Settings > Metadata > Automatically Write Changes Into XMP. 

    3. In LR, import the creative profile My LUT Creative Profile (a creative profile containing a LUT):
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/pgooisxu70f4tg6/MyLUTCreativeProfile.xmp?dl=0

    4. Choose a raw file and delete any associated sidecar from disk.

    5. Edit the raw in Develop and apply the profile My LUT Creative Profile.

    6. Do Edit In Adobe Photoshop 2021.

    7. Observe that the profile has not been applied in Photoshop.

    The bug doesn't occur with creative profiles (.xmp) not containing a LUT, nor does it occur with camera profiles (.dcp).

    See here for a likely explanation of the root cause:

    *cyfoto Thanks for the additional explanation.  Unfortunately, that did not work for me to correct the problem.  The custom color profiles continue to be lost when using "Edit in PhotoShop 2021" even after resetting those options.  I will hope that the next Adobe Camera Raw update fixes it.  While I wait, ACR v12.4 is working properly.  Also "Open as Smart Obect in PhotoShop" also works properly.

    I use Chinese version, this interface。Restore to the default color profile and restore the favorite color profile。If PS open and close normally，Edit in ps 2021 from lr will normal all the time。Do not froce close PS in macOS。Forgive me for my bad English...
