Hi @j_j5449

 

Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, you cannot  import .acv  files into Lightroom, as Lightroom and Photoshop handle tone curves differently:

 

  • .acv files are proprietary to Photoshop and store tone curve data in a format that Lightroom doesn’t read.

  • Lightroom uses its own curve settings embedded within develop presets (.xmp files).
