Presets lost!

Hello, 

 

I just reinstalled my windows on PC and before doing that, I backed up the Lightroom cc catalog.

 

Now, after reinstalling the LrC, there are all photos but no preset:(((

 

Is there any chance to recover them?

Recover? Only if you have a full backup of your system drive before the Windows re-install!

Preset files are not included in the default Catalog backup when you exit Lightroom-Classic.

See information about File locations in this link-

FILE LOCATIONS

 

FYI- I keep copies of ALL my presets (purchased, free, and copies from location as above) in a folder of My Documents, if I have a need to re-install (or use on another PC).

 

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .
