Camera Raw presets not showing up [2016]

I have installed some Adobe Camera Raw presets I purchased but they don't show up when I click on the Preset icon in Camera Raw.

I believe I have them installed in the correct place:

 

~Library/Application Support/Adobe/Camera Raw/settings

 

I can see also them in Camera Raw when I click on the "load settings", but not when I click on the Preset icon

 

Does anyone have a solution?

 

Thanks

For me, right clicking in the presets tab in ACR and clicking on 'Show Partially Compatiple Presets' worked.

I have finally figured out a solution for VSCO presets on Adobe CC 13.3

go back to 10.5 plugin version. restart computer. upload your presets in the correct file. the program will not run. it's ok. just download the current acr version now (13.3) and they should reappear in User Presets when running ACR.

I have this same problem. I have .xmp files that I cannot get to load in PS, nor can I get them to show up in any of adobes 100s of versions of lightroom. And as usual they are totally MIA with any kind of support after screwing up their own software.

I'm having the same problem. I've been using VSCO's film packs for years as a base for my editing process. In the new Camera Raw updates, I would say that 90% of my presets do not show up, VSCO .xmp files as well as several .xmp presets that I've created myself. All of my presets are located in the correct folder on my computer (~Library/Application Support/Adobe/Camera Raw/Settings), but most do not show up when I click on the Presets tab in ACR (bout 90% like I said previously). When I try to "load settings" in the preset tab while using ACR, I get a dialogue pop up that says, "Unable to load the raw conversion settings. The Camera Raw settings in the selected ".xmp" metadata file are not compatible with this image."

Basically... all of the updates by Adobe have severely screwed things up. SOMEONE HELP!

There is a large forum thread you might want to review which has multiple workarounds…

That is, indeed, the location (on Mac; it's (user)/Application Data (or AppData)/Adobe/Camera Raw/Settings on Windows).

Did you make sure that the XMP files themselves are copied to that location?
