When I was exporting a drawing that had different finish layers, a few of them changed in color in the preview panel, so I followed the recommendations of this adobe support post to fix it and went into the convert to profile window and set the profile to sRGB IEC61966-2.1. I mistakenly didn't see that it automatically flattened all of my layers. When I realized this I had already saved and closed out of Photoshop. Is there a way to restore the layers at this point?
Save and close is the point of no return. Everything before is deleted and gone.
The flattening is for a reason: numerical adjustments are color space specific. The same adjustment will have a different meaning in another color space, so the appearance will change. The only way to preserve appearance is to flatten first.
