Trying to import presets and I get the error message saying "legacy process version" few of the presets are highlighted? I don't know what to do to fix it... it's my first time having presets.

Lightroom does not support older process versions, so it would appear that those two presets have an older process version embedded in them, so Lightroom cannot use them. I suggest you go back to the source of the presets to get them updated.

Hi Jim

Would you explain how to update them? Because Im getting same error message. Those presets working perfectly fine in Lightroom Classic but for uknown reason they cant be imported to the Lightroom CC even they are already converted from .lrdata to .xmp file. I have newest versions of Lightrooms 2023 versions.

Thanks

Without knowing what the preset does, I can't say how best to try to update it. You'd have to do it in LrClassic of course, and in theory you could apply it to an unedited image, then check to make sure the process version is still at the current version 5 in the Calibration panel in Develop, which I suspect it will NOT be. In which case you'd need to update the PV to the current version (which will likely change the image appearance somewhat), then you can create a new preset from that edited image. Export the new preset, then import it into the Lightroom desktop app.

A lot will depend on which legacy PV was used when that preset was originally created. PV2 updated to PV5 would probably be a very noticeable change which you might not be happy with.
