Question

Going to an updated Mac

So the time has come for me to upgrade my imac.

However I am concerned I will lose my custom made brushes and also actions I have.

I am CC user for both LR and PS - will they be lost or do I need to find them and put them on an external drive.

Come to think of it I am also concerned about my presets in LR too.

Bit of a numpty when it comes to tech stuff like this so apologies in advance.

What specific versions of Photoshop and Lightroom do you run today on the old Mac (not "latest" please)?

Hi there,

 

Before you move the applications to a new computer, make sure you have the backup of all your settings.

 

For Lightroom Classic: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/preference-file-and-other-file-locations.html

For Photoshop: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#BackupPhotoshoppreferences

Preferences file location: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-names-locations-photoshop.html
