Local adjustments storage location for ACR ( not LRC)

I have tons of Local adjustments presets ion Lighjtroom. Surprisingly, they do not appear in ACR ( ACR and LRC share the develop presets). I am unfortunate to find where the Local adjutments for ACR are stored so that I can copy my LRC adjustments to ACR.

Thank you for your wise help

Moved to the Camera Raw forum, from the Photoshop forum.

Adobe Camera Raw stores adjustments in Sidecar files (xmp files stored alongside the raw image files).  You can set Lightroom to automatically write changes into XMP so that Camera Raw can read them

I appreciate you answering and I have to thank you for your time. But I am not talking about LRC I am trying to locate WHERE ACR local adjustment presets are stored. I cannot find them. My goal is to have the same local adjustment presets in LRC and in ACR. 

Thank you.

As Dave said. In ACR they are stored in the sidecar xmp file.

 

Lightroom doesn't use this sidecar, it stores eveything centrally in the catalog. That's why you don't see Lightroom adjustments in ACR, or ACR adjustments in LrC.

 

To have interchangeability, set LrC to write to xmp. Then it will be visible in ACR (but unfortunately also slow Lr down a little bit).
