I just updated to Lightroom Classic CC and my user presets for exporting are gone.

My developing presets were missing too but I have recovered those.

How can I solve this?

I am using Mac.

Thanks

I assume you have done the following

 

  1. In LR bring up the Preferences.
  2. Open the Presets tab.
  3. In the Location section, clcik on the "Show All Other Lightroom Presets"
  4. Finder woud come up pointing to /Users/MyAccount/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom
  5. And within that Export Presets. Including User Presets.

Same here Upgraded from v12 to v13. Everything gone. All the plugins , all the export presets. I have many catalogs. I have the option store presets in this catalog not selected so the solution given here would not work. 

Trying to find out if there is a way to bring back my presets or figure out why Adobe deleted those without my input which would be really bad.

You’ve posted to an ancient thread. It is highly unlikely that the issue described in this thread, though not impossible, is the same one you are currently experiencing. Rather than resurrect an old thread that is seemingly similar, you are better off posting to a new thread with fresh, complete information, including system information, a complete description of the problem, and step-by-step instructions for reproduction. 

 

If the issue is the same, we will merge you back into the appropriate location. 

 

Thank you!

By the way, did you alter your preferences (Presets tab) to store the presets with the catalog? That could cause this issue, unchecking folowed u by restarting LR would fix that.
