Current ideal edit order - profiles, AI, etc?

[umlautnord]

I'm wondering what the current recommended order of edits is for a RAW image in LrC. I'm interested in the resulting image, not performance.

A post on this thread about order of edits mirrors this page about performance optimization, which puts even an AI adaptive profile at #10. Another Adobe page (and my basic understanding) states that an adaptive profile should be applied first.

Instinctively, I wonder myself why a lens profile isn't applied near the beginning—but that's just me trying to think it all through.

So, just wondering what the current actual guidance is! Hoping I'm just missing a link.

The new edit order is largely concerned with avoiding unexpected results when applying the various AI tools. I've provided a link below to an Adobe Help document that explains the edit order in more detail.

Got it. It's helpful to know it's focused on the AI side.
