Question

Where are Plugins stored

I just did a clean install of  on my macbook pro and i want to restore all of lightroom settings. I have three backups of my starup drive and I want to know how to restore all my third party plugins. I was able to copy over lightroom preferences, catalog, etc. , but I can't for the life of me find my Jeffry Friedl plugins. I have the originals, but I don't want to have to add them back into lightroom 3. Isnt there a plugins folder like in photoshop that I can just copy over to my new computer and have them all show up in lightoom like they were on my old computer. And don't ask me why I didn't use time machine to restore my settings. I wanted to do a clean install, and yes, it runs much faster now.

Thank you!

      Presets are stored by default in: user/library/application support/adobe/lightroom

      or you can find the folder in Preferences/Presets

      I know about those locations, but there are no plugins stored there. There are two plugins stored in the User/Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/Lightroom/Modules folder, but I have over twenty plugins, most of them from Jeffry Friedl and they are nowhere to be found. After I downloaded them I placed them in my documents folder, but I don't want to have to reload all of them every time I need to restore a backup. Thats such a pain. Where are they stored so I can just drag them over?

        It's up to you where you store your PlugIns. You save (or unpack) the PlugIns to wherever you want and point to the location upon installation in the PlugIn Manager. I keep my PlugIns in a separate PlugIn folder in the Adobe program folder, so I don't have to move them every time I install a new LR version.

        If you move them from one location to the other, you have to install them again using Plugin Manager.
