I accedently clicked the favorite star to off on the adaptive color profile.  Now I can't find it anyway.  How do I restore it?

My thoughts on this thread-

@davids41103537 

Do you have a raw image selected?  'Adaptive' only appears for raw file images-

JPG  vs RAW

  

Are you scrolling down to see Profiles at the base of the panel? Your scroll elevator suggests a long view of the Profile previews.

Have you tried viewing the Profiles in 'List' view, and closing all the groups?

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

I have it up and working again. I was starting LRC by way of a shortcut pinned to the task bar. Once I lost adaptive color after clicking off the favorite star thereafter the taskbar shortcut would load LRC without the adaptive color profile. I then tried the main LRC icon through the start button and now all is working the way is should, both adaptive color and B&W are there. I have rebooted the computer and started and exiting LRC several times since and so far all is good.  I would think a shortcut would have nothing other than a path to the LRC executable within it.

Very weird, but glad it's working again.

No need to "restore", simply use the profile browser and you should see an "Adaptive" group, open that and you will see the Adaptive Color and Adaptive B&W profiles.

Thank you for your reply.  This is where the problem is, I see the profile group but only have the adaptive B&W profile within.  The Adaptive color profile is missing, this is what I need restored.

Click on the tri-dot icon next to the "Profile" header, and then make sure that "All" is selected (you may have "B&W" selected, which would only show specific B&W profiles).

I've moved your post from Creative Cloud desktop to the Lightroom forum.
