Import Presets to LR Classic from LR Mobile / Cloud

[Steph Di]

I started out with using LR Mobile respecively the Cloud version on my Mac. I've a bunch of presets, some I created myself, some I bought. Now I started to use LR Classic, but - how do I get the presets now from my mobile version to the Classic version on my Mac Desktop? I could only find advice the other way around :-(. And - no, I don't have the original files that I bought on my Mac any longer in some cases ... so - can't import from there.

Thanks so much for help and advice 🙂

You can export presets from Lightroom desktop. Right-click on the name of the preset. Then you can import these into Lightroom Classic via the plus icon in the presets panel.

Thanks for the quick help! That works ... a bit of work, as I obviously have to do it bit by bit - but: it works ☺️☺️

Hi I had the same problem.  I have presets on my Lr mobile and need to export them to my LrC desktop.  Now not sure if I understood your response.  Your saying "You can export presets from Lightroom desktop" but I actually want to import them to my desktop since the actual location is my mobile.  I noticed the person who asked apparently found the solution in your response, not sure how?

Lightroom (desktop) is the cloud version. It is 'Lightroom Mobile on your computer'. You do not have to do anything to sync presets between this version and Lightroom Mobile, except make sure you are logged into the same account.

If you mean Lightroom Classic, then install Lightroom desktop as well. From Lightroom desktop you can then export presets, that you can then import into Lightroom Classic.
