Importing mobile user presets to desktop version

[PICTUREMECLUBBING]

Hello guys, I'm using Lightroom Classic CC and I initially created my own presets and sync them with my mobile install of lightroom. I had a system crash on my desktop and I lost my preset files, but they are still located in my mobile app. Is it away to transfer those back to my desktop?

Hi there,

When you edit a photo here, are you able to see the presets ? Photo Editor | Online Photoshop Lightroom

Also, have you checked the preset folder on the computer? Please have a look at this article to know the location: Preference file and other file locations | Lightroom Classic and Lightroom 6

Regards,
Sahil

No I don't see any user presets there at all.  Like I said in the orig post, my system crashed. So it's not a matter of finding the locations on the drive. That drive is dead unfortunately.

Adobe’s Julianne Kost has a useful blog with instructions.

Is there any way to transfer those back to my desktop?

1. If you haven't done so, install the Lightroom app on your desktop. (Do that from the Create Cloud desktop app).

2. Start the Lightroom app (not Lightroom Classic), edit a photo, click Presets at the bottom of the right column.

3. Right-click each of your presets in turn and do Export, saving the presets to a folder on your desktop.

4. In Lightroom Classic, edit a photo in Develop.

5. Do File > Import Develop Profiles and Presets. Navigate to the folder containing the .xmp files you exported from the Lightroom app and select all the .xmp files.

Presets doesn't appear It only appears in my mobile app. Does anyone know where the presets are stored in mobile?

I was actually able to find the folder that contained the .xmp files! I followed your directions John and they're back on my desktop. Whew! Thank you guys!
