Question

User created LUTS (Profiles) not showing up in LR Classic 8.3 (Latest update)

All of my presets and profiles (.xmp) are showing in Library\Application Support\Adobe\CameraRaw\Settings. All of the profiles that I have purchased are visible when I launch the latest LR, however, I just made some new Profiles and they are not showing up. No User Profile tab is visible at all. However, they all show up in Camera Raw in PS. I have tried to check and uncheck the "Store Presets with Catalog" option in Preferences and neither work.

Any ideas?

    That is quite an old version of Lightroom. Only much more recent versions can use the "xmp" creative profiles, including LUTs. There are many other differences too, for example with Develop presets, as well as some more adjustment tools and a newer Process Version.

     

    The range of camera profiles available to use with a given Raw photo is shown elsewhere in your version, I believe at the top of the Calibration panel. Those profiles are ".lcp" format (if I remember correctly) and are fully camera-specific.

     

    Unfortunately, many current YouTube videos do not apply to the software version you are using. It is not possible to upgrade to latest Lightroom version with a single payment: the only way to use that is under a subscription term contract. Only you can decide whether subscription is worthwhile for you, but in my opinion the Photographer plan offers very reasonable value.

    Is there any way to get away with it?

    The reason I'm using LR 5.7 is because of my low spec pc.

    And have you considered resetting your preferences file, undoing checking off that store presets with catalog, might require that

    Ahh, read all the way thru on that first link, a simpler restore presets might suffice.

    Do you have Preferences > Presets > Store Presets With Catalog checked? Camera Raw doesn't know about that setting and will store newly created profiles in ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings, while LR will read them from ​catalog-folder​/Lightroom Settings/Settings.

    Well... I physically moved them from ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings to the folder Lightroom /Settings with the catalog and then reimported them. It works now. So thanks for the help - at least for now.

    I didn't have the profiles saved with the catalog before as I have a few catalogs. Just tried to open a different catalog and they are not there. Do I have to add them to each catalog? Never had to do that before.

    I should add to the above question that I have tried to Import the Profiles from the File menu and it didn't work.

    And when you click on the + symbol on the Presets panel, select, manage, do they show up, but not checked off to be visible?

    I may be confusing develop presets as shown in the Presets panel, with Profiles shown in the Basic panel (profiles)

    These are Profiles and when I clicked on the + in the Basic Tab in Profiles, I added them but they didnt show up. They were there before the upgrade.
