I have tried a resets but this has not helped.

Correct answer GoldingD

You stated you tried resets, but just in case I misunderstand that statement, or in case of a misunderstanding about a reset of preferences (it is not reverting to defaults within the preferences panel)

______________________________________________________________________________________

Consider resetting your Lightroom Classic preferences file. This is Adobe speak for having Lightroom delete the preference file then recreating a fresh new preference file. The preference file can get corrupted leading to odd behavior.

Be aware that your preferences will probably revert to defaults. Also be aware that sometimes Lightoom will forget what catalog you had opened before the reset.

See the links below. Read/watch all, understand, and pay attention to any cautions/warnings.

Oh, and what about "store presets with catalog" (bad), see :

Now, are you editing RAW or JPEG? If JPEG see:

But, would have expected them to be grayed out not invisable if this was the case, but the article does state possible.

Hi David

I was trying a JPEG to see if it made a difference. The option is on but
still no presets on RAW or JPEGs

Hi David

I have followed the instructions and replaced the preferences file by deleting it and then restarting the PC and Lightroom. This solved the matter and everything is working great again.

Thank you for your help on this.

In the Presets panel, click on the + symbol, select Manage, check on each one you want available.

Hi David

I have tried this and all presets are selected to be active. I can not reimport them either as Lightroom acknoledges they exist but i cant view them.

Any other thoughts to what could be causing this David?

It would be helpful if you provided a little more information. In particular, what are presets and where did you download them from (i.e. a link to the site from which you obtained them)
