I'm having trouble understanding how presets, particularly custom ones I have defined, actually work in a folder or a collection. Also, how do I delete a customized preset so that I can start over?
My metadata presets are not appearing in the library module. Preset None and Edit Presets appear. There are various presets in the Users/Roaming/Appdata/Adobe/Lightroom/4/Metadata Templates folder. the metadata presets have disappered from my images as well?
Am just setting up on a new laptop and would like to transfer my metadata presets over from my old computer. How do I export and then import them to the new computer?
I have one basic metadata preset that I apply to images after they have been imported. I've noticed that on a regular basis, every single image in my library loses its applied metadata preset and it reverts back to "none". For the life of me I cannot figure out why this is happening and I don't know whether it's a bug or a feature.
My standard workflow is that after I import images, I select all the images in the new folder I have designated for those images and apply my specific metadata preset but it seems that a few days later or after I import new images, all metadata presets are gone again. I have noticed this issue with Lightroom 3 and again with Lightroom 4 after I have upgraded so I don't think it's related to a specific version.
I am having trouble getting my presets to show up under presets on the left hand side of the screen. They are still in develop presets but there not showing up and Ive tried deleting them and adding them again then closing out of lightroom 4 and going back in but I can not seem to get them to show up again. I must have hit something but there not showing up again
I have recenty had to reinstall all my software, and manged to find most of my old Lightroom settings in the Lightroom Presets folder (inside the Appdata folder on a PC) but I seem to have lost my custom tone curves.
Do you know which folder they should be in (indise the Lightroom Presets folder)
I STILL don't understand why there are TWO comminty forums for Lightroom;
I wanted to add a customized background to my photos. I didnt know if this is possible with Lightrom 4? or i need to purchase something to be able to do that?
I am exporting thousands of shots for my website and I am making a customized watermark/copyright title for each collection. It is working fine except now I have quite a few customized watermarks which I probably will never use again. How do I remove these from the pull down menu?
When trying to print in Elements 11, after clicking "Print/Page Setup/Presets/Show Presets", the box freezes. Clicking Cancel or OK does not work. I then have to Force Quit Elements to clear it. Apple say that it is a problem with Elements. Using the same procedure in other applications, clicking Cancel or OK does work.
So I just transferred my Lightroom catalog to a new computer. But none of my presets were transferred. Do I have to do that seperately? Also I'm having trouble even getting to my presets on my old computer. I can see them through Lightroom but can't seem to find them again out of Lightroom. Lightroom 4. Mac.
i upgraded to LR 5.3 this morning, using the Store Presets with this catalog option, as well as the Upgrade wizard. When LR5.3 opened at the end of the process, all of my Import, Export, or Develop presets were gone. all of those folders are empty (for example C:UsersmePicturesLightroomLightroom SettingsDevelop PresetsUser Presets shows "This folder is empty"), and when i open LR 4.4 (the previous install), the presets are gone as well.
I recently got a new computer because my other one is going out on me. I downloaded LR3 onto my new computer but need to somehow get Ithe presets I created off of my old computer and onto my new one. Anything I find just tells you you have to export them one at a time which would really suck if that were true because I have hundreds.
i just bought the new LR 5.0 (now upgrade) - now i want to save all of my presets within my old LR 4.4 (not just the cataloge) and load them into LR 5.0, so everything is how i know and need it.is there a way to do so?
I downloaded the trial version yesterday, but I am not able to use any presets, the default ones or some I downloaded. I put the mouse over them and the image in the navigation bar does not change, nor does the picture change if I click on them. How can I make them work?
I have Photoshop Elements 9 (which I love) and use it to try and give my pics a more 'professional' look, however I find it very time consuming. I was doing some research on Adobe Lightroom and came accross the 'ultimate collection of The best Lightroom Presets'. URL....has anybody used these or other presets? They sound quick and easy to use, just open your photo and apply the effect with minimal editing- is that correct?
I have small children and love taking photos of them and just want to 'professionalise' my photos quickly and easily, is Photoshop Lightroom better that Photoshop for doing?how the Student/Teacher version of Lightroom is different to the full version?
I recently upgraded from LR3 to LR4, and on a different computer (Mac to PC/Windows 7) so I have a feeling I'll be here a lot.
I have transferred everything over to the new computer, and have "installed" the purchased Presets in question (Kevin Kubota Vintage Delish). As far as I can tell, the installation went smoothly and successful, however, when I run LR4, there are still no Presets to choose from.
I purchased Lightroom 3 as a download last year, and I've had constant issues with it ever since. Problems include the following:
-On startup, it says my camera profiles are missing, and to reinstall Lightroom to fix the issue. Of course, reinstalling Lightroom does nothing. -It deletes all my presets - metadata presets, stored watermarks, developing presets, and export settings. There seems to be no trigger or particular frequency for this. -Every 30 days, it says that my trial of Lightroom has expired, and to enter my serial number to continue. When I enter my serial number, it gives me the same message again in another 30 days. This has continued to happen even after uninstalling Lightroom, reinstalling, and entering my serial number immediately.
I'm getting more and more frustrated, and the previous solution I've been given ("Try reinstalling the program") has fixed nothing. Sure, it still works, but every time I have to re-enter all my presets.
Since the sliders have changed in the Develop module of Lightroom 4, will some of my existing presets need to be changed in order to work with the new processing version?
