LR CC Saved Presets- How to load in LR Classic ?

Hi there,

 

I'm enjoying the lightroom learn and discover sections in lightroom CC and have been saving presets from the likes of Chris Orwig, Luisa Dorr etc.
I'm wondering how I would use these presets when I move back to LR Classic on my desktop as they dont seems to sync automatically.

 

Can you sync presets made in LR CC to LR Classic as there is no xmp file I know of?

 

Thanks

Lightroom cloud no longer stores the presets locally, it only stores them in the cloud. You can export presets however. Right-click on a preset name and choose 'Export'. That will export the preset as .xmp file, which you can then import in Lightroom Classic using 'Import preset'.

TBMK: (and sort of guessing at the workflow)

If you only have ever run Lightroom-Desktop (Cloud Version v3.2.1) on your computer then-

The user develop presets would be located in :

In Windows:  C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom CC\Develop Presets\User Presets

On a Mac: /Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/[preset or template folder]

(Default develop presets are not user accessible however.)

 

Lightroom-Classic would store Presets here-

Windows—C: \ Users \ [your username] \ AppData \ Roaming \ Adobe \ Camera Raw \ Settings

Mac—Macintosh HD / Users / [your username] / Library / Application Support / Adobe / CameraRaw / Settings

 

I suggest that you would copy the Presets from the Lr-Desktop (Cloud) folders to the Lr-Classic folder location.

Or use the Lr-Classic Preset 'Import' function [+] to import them to Classic from their Lr-Desktop locations.

Report how you get on.
