Unable to change DNG back to color after converting to B&W

I'm using the current (16.2) version of LR Classic.

I used the B&W button in the Develop module to change it from color to b&w, but am unable to change it back to color.

When I drop down the profile menu the only choices are color and monochrome. I can see all the choices in the profile browser, but all are versions of monochrome.

Am I missing something, is this a permanant change, or a bug?

In the Develop module, look at the History panel on the lower left and click the step before you converted to B&W. That will remove the conversion. You can also right click and select "Clear History Above This Step".

That is a great idea. I can't believe I didn't think of that. Too much "panic" mode I guess.
However, I don't have the chance to try that out, because I had to re-start LR, and when I did my photo was back to color.
That would have been another good option, and I can't believe I didn't think of that either.

Many thanks to all. (and yes, I incorrectly gave my version of PS instead of LR)
