Question

Problem with Presets impact each others

Hello,

I have strange problem with Presets - I have one preset for importing photos. When I create new preset, the new one gets the definitions of the first one and the opposite. It looks like they impact each other. I define both of them from the same photo, maybe this is the problem ?

I am using Lightroom Classic version: 13.0.1.

With Operating system: Windows 11 - Home Premium Edition
Thank you, Eyal

    I spent a lot of time yesterday with Adobe support –

    1. Accordingly to the one who assist me, when i open the new preset with Update option, it was updated immediately from the other one, this is how LR work
    2. If I create new one with less options it will be ok until I will open it again
    3. There is no option to edit the preset content after it was created.

    When you select a previously made import preset, the settings in the various panels load up accordingly.

     

    At this point no option is shown to update the preset - logically enough IMO, that would merely keep it the same.

     

    But the moment you've altered an import setting, the menu displays "[presetname] (edited)" instead.

     

    An option is then shown to UPDATE [presetname] accordingly.

     

    But whatever settings showed when you imported, appear in the starting point for next time. To get back to the preset as it was saved, you'd need to select that again.

     

    I will often have applied suitable (bulk)  keywording during my prior import, so have made the firm habit of reinitialising everything (by selecting my same preset afresh) with each new import.

      Thank you!
      So your advice is to have preset with the most changes i want to have and to use it after I import the photos?
      I have now 2 presets:
      1. Import - include profile and Lens corrections options
      2. Landscape_001 - Include other changes as Basic Details updates.
