HI guys!

I am new to Lightroom and just downloaded the new Lightroom Classic CC. I am trying to apply downloaded presets to my pictures, I have imported them as instructed from youtube videos but they wont apply to my photo. Even the presets that originally were in Lightroom when I first got it won't work. Black and white etc.. Nothing when I click on it. :(( Does anyone know why this is happening? Would appreciate help :)!!

Thank youuuuuuu

Same issue. Has anyone found a solution? Uninstalling/Reinstall and Resetting Preferences does not work.

Please go to the 'Help - System Info' menu, and post the first few lines you see there (you can post a screenshot). No need to post the whole text, just the first 10 lines or so is enough.

Hi Isabella,

If you select a photo while in the Develop module and run you mouse over the Lightroom presets in the left hand column do you see the image preview changing in the navigator panel at the top of the column?

If you can't see anything changing try resetting your preferences: How to set Lightroom Classic CC preferences

Let us know if that helps.

Hi Bella - When you land on the Forums welcome page: https://forums.adobe.com/welcome  The icons for the most popular forums are shown. When you click on the app your question is related to you can search on the topic or start a new discussion. Your question was moved to the right forum already.

Regarding why the presets won't work... can you select a photo > go the Develop module > select a develop preset > right-click on top of the preset to show the pop-up menu and capture a screen shot that shows the entire window from left to right - top to bottom. With the Navigator expanded.

Moving this to the Lr Classic forum. You've posted in the Lounge, a non-technical support area.
