Question

Move Lightroom Classic presets from Windows to Mac Machine

I have lots of bought presets on my HP Lightroom classic. 
Today I bought a Mac so downloaded Lightroom Classic and logged in with my logins. My presets aren't there though. How do I transfer them over?

Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll help you figure this out. Lightroom presets are stored at this location by default unless specified differently by choosing to store presets along with each catalog from Lightroom's Preferences.

 

  • In Lightroom Classic, go to Preferences > Presets > Click on Show Develop Preset.
  • C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Settings
  • You can enter %appdata%\Adobe\Lightroom > Copy the contents of this folder.

     

  • Move these presets to the new mac machine at the location shared here https://www.lightroomqueen.com/lightroom-classic-file-locations/
    & it should work.

 

Let me know if this helps. Thanks!
