Question

old presets don't work on 2025 lightroom

Hi,

I've been using lightroom cc and older versions (probably 2022 or 23) for years. I have a series of presets and they've been working well in the past. This year I update my lightroom plan and reinstalled the 2025 lightroom, and all my presets disappeared. 

Luckily, I tried to find some of them and tried to import them. However, when I'm importing the presets the bar just shows "loading presets" forever and won't import any of the presets I have. These presets are my years of hard work and I really cannot lose them or stop using them. I wonder if anyone knows how to troubleshoot this.

I've also been suspecting that maybe the version is too new. Is it possible to go back to an older lightroom version?

Hi @leah_4964, welcome to the community!
Could you share a bit more about the issue? For example, what format are your presets in and how did you import them? Also, please make sure you’re logged in with the same Adobe ID you used previously.
If you were using Lightroom (not Lightroom Classic), your presets should be stored in the cloud. Try visiting this link and see if your presets appear there:

Thanks so much!

Hi Aleke,

 

Thank you for the reply! My presets' format is below:

Could you help me with why they won't import?

Also my presets are not in this link.

 

Thank you!

Hi Aleke, this is Leah with another account. I found out that my old images and presets are maybe in this account. However, I bought the plan in the other account and I can't access anything from this account now. I can't access the cloud either. I wonder if there's any way I can find out whether my old presets are here?
