Question

Lightroom Classic imported presets

Hello,

I'm using LR classic Ver 8.4.1 on iMac.  I sometimes use imported Develop presets which appear in the left panel in group or folder form. Each can be opened to present several variable presets..

I have bought a new iMac and LR classic Ver 9 with Camera Raw 12.

I have put my presets in the same location in a folder as before, at App Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings. But the presets do not appear in the panel in the same way. They appear in the User Presets as individual presets, not in folder form.This is completely impractical as I have so many various imported presets.

Is there a preference or tick box somewhere that I have missed?

 

Any help please.

 

RichMacBook.

Presets contain the group information inside the preset itself. It does not matter if you store them in a subfolder on disk. This is new behavior that was introduced in Lr Classic 7.3. If you want the old behavior restored, check out this plugin:

Hi

I don't know why the group is gone, but can't you export a group from a grouped iMac?

Import a grouped preset if that is possible.

Hi,

I have the solution.

LR Ver 8.4.1 on my older iMac did not have the export option.

 

. 

 

However today I had notice of a LR update to Ver 9, which I did. This has the export option..

I then exported the presets, unzipped them and put those folders into my new iMac folder CameraRaw/settings, and they now appear in lightroom as folders.

Strange thing is that the preset files that I exported, unzipped and put in the CameraRaw/Setting folder are the identical file folders that I used originally to load onto my first iMac.

I won't waste any more time on why's

 

So, thank you Silk-m for the hint about the export option.
