Question

Importing presets get stuck in Lightroom

Hello, I'm trying to import a preset pack "Full Suite VSCO" (with 7 profiles & presets inside) into Lightroom 8.5.1 desktop. It has a mix of .lrtemplate , .dcp , and .xmp files. I'm using a Macbook Air 15.6.1. I tried importing through File > Import Profiles & Presets, and through Presets bar on the right > 3 dots > Import Presets. I tried importing the whole pack, and just 1 profile/preset alone. Each time it downlods through halfway then gets stuck without any error messages. I could only import the .dcp files on their own, but then the other templates are missing. I rquit and restarted LR a few times. What would you recommend? Thanks!

Lightroom does not support .lrtemplate presets. Those are presets that are either very old, or they are local adjustment presets. They are presets for Lightroom Classic only. Also please note that .dcp files are not presets, but profiles. Most likely the .xmp presets apply those profiles.
