I currently have my Lightrooms set to import with camera matching settings. It brings in the images with many of the recipe settings I used on my Fuji camera. I'm wondering, is it possible to switch an image from camera matching to adobe default? If I change my settings, will it only affect images imported going forward or would it change everything I've already imported? If I go to develop an image and change the profile from the camera matching to something like Adobe Standard, it still has things like the added grain, clarity, etc.
Lightroom Desktop = Mac 8.5.1
Lightroom Classic = Mac 14.5.1
Lightroom iPad = most current version

Re: Lightroom-CLASSIC: One approach is to import with a default Preset.
Create the Preset with an un-edited raw image (ie. no develop adjustments) except for the Profile (Eg. Adobe Color) set as you want . In the Preset creation window check all boxes, including the [Profile & Treatment] box. (Call it "Neutral" if you wish.)
Set this 'Neutral' Preset to be applied in the Preferences (Presets tab > Raw Defaults) that will be applied for all 'Global' imports, Or use it any time to 'neutralize' an image that has already been imported (Note: it will cancel any edits done)..

If you change the Raw default import settings, it will only affect images imported going forward, it will not affect images already imported with the previous settings.
If you want to reset an existing image from the original camera settings back to the Adobe default settings, both LrC and Lightroom have an existing "Adobe Default" preset which can be used for that purpose. In LrC it can be found in Presets>Defaults, and in Lightroom it can be found in Presets>Yours>Basics>Defaults.

Unfortunately this only adjusts the color. It doesn't remove certain camera settings like the grain I applied to the recipe in camera.

If you are shooting and importing JPG images from the camera, then 'everything' is 'burnt into' the JPG file created by the camera. You cannot change those "certain camera settings".
Advice from @Jim Wilde and myself only applies to RAW files.

Not importing jpegs. These are .raf files from a Fuji x-t5. I shot the images with custom recipe settings and have the jpegs saved in a folder on an SSD. The raw files have the recipe settings in the metadata which Lightroom used to import because I had camera matching for my import settings.
