When I edit in Photoshop while using Lightroom the color appear to be very different and it only happen to certain picture and I am losing my mind. This has never happened before until now. If anyone know how to fix this please help, I have tried everything.
This is a picture a took a few months ago and it is perfectly fine. But my recent pictures have this color problem

This issue is caused by running a version of LR that's newer than your installed version of PS and Camera Raw. LR is sending a camera profile to PS/ACR that isn't in your PS/ACR installation, so PS/ACR silently uses a different camera profile, producing different colors.
The best fix for this is to stop running 2.5-year-old versions of LR and PS and update to the latest version

When I import your photo and edit it in PS, I don't see any color shift in my LR 10.2 / PS 22.3.1 / Mac OS 11.3.1, which suggests its something particular to your configuration. Some troubleshooting steps:
1. In LR, do Help > System Info and copy/paste here the first ten lines.
2. In PS, do Help > System Info and copy/paste here the first ten lines.
3. In LR, edit the photo in PS and then save it as a TIFF back to LR. In LR, do the .cr3 and .tif look the same or different?
4. In LR, set Preferences > Performance > Use Graphics Processor to Off. In PS, uncheck the same option. Does the problem still occur?
5. Quickly test if the problem is caused a display profile that is corrupted or incompatible with either LR or PS or both:
Here are screenshots of what the photo looks like my LR and PS:

3. The pictures are different, this is the problem. When I use "edit in photoshop" while using LR the color appears to be different on PS. But if I export to jpeg in LR first then open in PS then its no problem
4. I unchecked it in both but nothing changed
5. I tried this and nothing change
CR3 next to TIFF in LR
I am seeing a small difference in the first two photos you posted of the young woman. However, I see a tremendous difference in the photos you say are fine, the tree shot. This is what I see on my calibrated NEC monitor.
This screen capture accurately show what I see in your original post. Did you mis-identify the images?
I frequently move images from LrC to Ps and back. I see no problems at all with color.
Here's what I see at 100% in Lightroom vs. Edit in Photoshop:
They are absolutely identical. I stacked the two screenshots and could see no difference when flipping back and forth.
100% is critical here. This is a very noisy image! Screen resampling can very easily influence the result.
If you still see a difference at 100%, it's a monitor profile issue. It's quite common that bad profiles can affect applications differently, and keep in mind that while they both end up in the same destination profile, the source profiles are very different (linear TRC ProPhoto vs. Adobe RGB). So that means the conversion, the actual math and tables involved, are very different. One can work and the other fail.
All of which pretty much boils down to the reply I originally gave in the Photoshop forum. It was also posted there.

Gory Details
The .tif saved by your Photoshop has noticeably different color from the .cr3 when viewed in my LR 10.2:
That rules out issues with your display profile and points at either LR or PS or both.
The .xmp sidecar for the .cr3 has this line:
[XMP] Camera Profile : Adobe Standard v2
This indicates that LR is using the Adobe Standard v2 camera profile for the EOS R.
But the XMP metadata inside the .tif has these lines:
[XMP] Camera Profile : Adobe Standard
[XMP] Missing Camera Profile : Adobe Standard v2
These indicate that when the Camera Raw inside PS tried to render the .cr3, it couldn't find Adobe Standard v2 and instead used Adobe Standard.
LR 8.1 and Camera Raw 11.1 were released in December 2018, and they included the Adobe Standard v2 profile to fix white-balance issues with the original version of the profiles for the EOS R. But your PS is 20.0, released in September 2018, and its version of Camera Raw doesn't include Adobe Standard v2, so Camera Raw used Adobe Standard instead, producing different colors.
