Question

How can I tell which preset an image is using?

I’m starting to use Lightroom CC and I’m having trouble with something very simple:

I’ve downloaded various presets and have been switchiNg back and forth between a few but I’ve lost track of which image is using which preset and when I look in the presets list, there is no indication of which preset is being used.

On other interfaces, you would see the preset name selected in bold or with a ✓ mark next to it, but there is no indication at all as to which one is selected.

Am I missing something?

    I have the same question. Has there been an update since to include this feature?

    Ah I'm looking on the Lightroom desktop app for Windows or Mac.

    Hi! I just wanted to say that I'm also on desktop and I tried that step, but unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I'm currently using version 1 V13.5.

    If you select your photo and go to Edit, then click Presets at the bottom, you will see the applied preset highlighted in blue in the list – see image below.
