Question

Error message every time I open LR CC: there were errors in converting custom develop presets to XMP

This error appears every time I open LR Classic.: 

I have reset preferences it didn't help. I don't care about keeping the preset--don't even know what it is. I just need to get rid of the annoying error message. I'm using a MacBook Pro.

1. Select this line and type Cmd C to copy it:

/Users/shaunakballou/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets/User Presets

 

2. In Finder, do the menu command Go > Go To Folder.

 

3. Paste the copied line by doing Cmd V.

 

4. Hit Enter. Finder should open the folder "User Presets". 

 

5. In that folder, you should see "1.lrtemplate". Delete that file.

    Please don't answer your own reply as 'Correct' when it clearly is not the right answer. It helps nobody, including yourself.
