I'm trying to migrate Lightroom 4 from one Mac to another. I can't find any steps to ensure the library and presets map over. Are they in the cloud and transfer automatically?

 

Is there a resource with steps to help with the migration of Lightroom 4 from one Mac to another? Any resources that can help me?

Are you referring to the 8 year old version of Lightroom? If so that application has nothing to do with the cloud. It also may not run on a newer computer. Can you confirm what version of Lightroom you are using?

No migration is needed. Just install the Creative Cloud app on the second Mac, use that to install Lightroom, then when you launch Lightroom for the first time it will automatically sync with the cloud and download all the local content that it needs.
