HI guys!

I just downloaded the new Lightroom Classic CC. I am trying to apply downloaded presets to my pictures, I have imported them as instructed from youtube videos but they wont apply to my photo. Even the presets that originally were in Lightroom when I first got it won't work. Black and white etc.. Nothing when I click on it. :(( Does anyone know why this is happening? Would appreciate help :)!!

When I run over through the mouse on the presets column I could see photos with presets on left top corner, But when I click on the Photo It won't apply to the photo.

Thank you kindly.

Hi all,

I have the same issue as well. Had also gone online to watch several tutorials but to no avail for my case. The picture below is a screenshot when i am at the 'develop' tab. Even as i tried to use the given presets, no change can be seen either. Anyone has any ways to resolve this issue?

The screen capture shows that you have the color sub set for the color presets. Click on the triangle to the left of the word color to open and the actual presets should be listed and allow you to select the one you wish to apply. See the screen capture.

I believe you already posted this question, and the first answer was that you should not click on the photo, you should click on the preset name.

This is my first question on the forum. And that answer is not correct.

So some more information from you may help.

What do you mean by "they wont apply"? Are you viewing your photos in another program?

Are you a subscriber to a Creative Cloud Photography plan? which plan?

What LR version number did you download?

Are you trying a trial?

What version did you have "when you first got it"?

Can you post a screen-clip of Lightroom in the Develop module that shows both the Basic and Presets panels open and visible?

(screen-clip, and add it to a post with the [Insert Image] icon above the test window.)
