P: Adaptive Profiles

Initial impression is nice, but it would benefit greatly from a couple improvements:

• Love that it feels like it gives me a much flatter starting image. Sometimes I feel like standard profiles start me off with too much contrast, or weird colors. This seems to be able to land you at a proper neutral.
• Having just one slider called "Amount" feels weird. Like LR is just giving it one shot and you can't tweak anything except how much you dump onto the image. Only suggestion I have right now is a version of the "Blending" and "Balance" sliders from the Color Grading tool. But what you'd do is create 2 looks. Look 1: Whatever the Adaptive Profile currently does. Look 2: Something closer to the "flat" look of log footage that's just flat, but not necessarily trying to recover details or do some sort of over-intelligent Apple computational photography thing.
• Skin seems to get over-textured by the Adaptive profile. It's kind of a mix of the look you get if you overcook the Shadows slider, and when you overcook the Texture & Clarity sliders.
• Big thing: Syncing. Once I got a look I liked, syncing that look to the rest of my very similar images took forever because it was AI-analyzing each of them individually. I get why, but unnecessary & slows down my workflow compared to what I was doing. What I think makes sense: Add the option to bake a profile / preset / LUT / whatever from the Adaptive profile you like. That way it can un-intelligently dump that onto the rest of your images just like old times. Faster & easier.

Overal cool new tool. Would love to see how it improves over time.

These look nice, but it's a real bummer that I can't use them along with LUTs. If I have to choose between an image with more HDR, and an image with the correct 'mood' based on an LUT, I'm going to pick the LUT. Could there be a way in the future to use the adobe PGTM but use another profile's RGBT?, Or, even better, allow for stacking of color profiles on top of each other..

the adaptive color is a game change for me it give me the baseline for my editing

I like both the new Adaptive profiles. I usally don't have to make much of an adjustment after applying. BUT I would love to have them applied when importing my RAW images into Lightroom Classic. I can't find the option for that in the preferences or in the profile option when importing. Suggestions?

The new Adobe LrC update promised better performance, but in my case, after updating I have noticed slower performance. After applying the 'Adaptive Profile' to a group of images, the application becomes slow, it takes a long time to switch from one image to another in the development tab.

Question.....does the Adaptive profile execution rely primarily on the CPU or GPU?  My quick observation is that it is more CPU dependent.

This needs to work for event photographers. It doesn't skin tones and harsh / low light situations really struggle. As a pro user I don't need this for a simple or unchanging series of photos. I can apply setting across the series, and even match exposures with existing tools. What I need is a scene / content aware edit. This isn't it from what I can see, which is too bad. It's not that hard to account for the types of scenes that event photographers usually encounter. If adobe would like work with me, I have 100k+ edited photos from standard event photography scenes they could use to train a model.
