Hi @7624292! Thank you for sharing that info. Since you are using the latest version of Lightroom, your presets are designed to reside in the cloud.
Just let the Automatic Syncing do its thing. If you have a stable internet connection, you likely won't need to perform any manual file transfers at all.
-On your old computer, open Lightroom and click the Cloud icon in the top right corner. Ensure it says "Synced and Backed Up."
-On your new MacBook Pro, install Lightroom and sign in with the same Adobe ID.
-Wait a few minutes for the app to sync. Your custom presets will automatically appear in the Presets panel under the "User Presets" section (or whatever custom groups you created).
Thanks a bunch!
