Convert ACR presets to Lightroom?

Is there an easy way to convert ACR presets to Lightroom presets?  I don't use ACR, so
that would be new for me.  Any advice or direction would be appreciated.  Thanks!

There is no easy way to convert ACR presets to Lightroom. However, there is a method by which you apply the preset to an image in ACR so that they written to XMP then import that image into Lightroom. In Lightroom you select the imported image then create a new preset, making sure that you have all of the settings checked in the preset dialog. Frankly, it isn't worth the hassle and more often than not users screw up somewhere along the way.

  • Converting ACR preset to Lightroom preset

    Is there a quick and easy way to convert an ACR preset to a preset or develop template for Lightroom?

    Make your adjustments in ACR, save but don't open. Then open the file in Lightroom and the settings will be preserved (including Point Curve adjustments). Then save as a Preset in Lightroom.

    New 30D Lightroom & ACR Preset Available.
    I have a set of presets for Lightroom 1.1 and ACR 4.1 that will IMHO improve on the default color rendering from Adobe.

    I look forward to your comments.

    Phil,<br /><br />If you look further you'll find that <a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~tindeman/raw/acr-calibrator-l.html" target="blank">Simon Tindeman's ACR calibrator script</a> takes away a lot of the tedium.<br /><br />I recently calibrated a Nikon D200 and a Canon 30D back-to-back under the same lighting conditions (studio flash) using this script and got:<br /><br /><TABLE BORDER=1><br /><B><br /><TR><br />  <TD ALIGN="CENTER">Item</TD><br />  <TD ALIGN="CENTER">Nikon D200</TD><br />  <TD ALIGN="CENTER">Canon 30D</TD><br /></TR><br /></B><br /><TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Colour Temp</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">6150</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">6300</TD></TR><br /><TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Tint</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-22</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-29</TD></TR><br /><TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Exposure</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">0.55</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">1.4</TD></TR><br /><TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Red Hue</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-13</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-11</TD></TR><br /><TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Red Saturation</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">10</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">28</TD></TR><br /><TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Green Hue</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-7</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-14</TD></TR><br /><TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Green Saturation</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">9</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-10</TD></TR><br /><TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Blue Hue</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">3</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-4</TD></TR><br /><TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Blue Saturation</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">5</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-2</TD></TR><br /></TABLE> <br /><br />When I applied them to some purple chocolate wrappers photographed in the studio they compared very well to each other and the real wrappers. YMMV, of course.<br /><br />However, don't be under the illusion that this 30D calibration is right for all 30Ds. In fact, it may not even be right for teh same 30D under different conditions.<br /><br />To illustrate this, today I photographed the same colour chequer twice and ran the script on both files. Under the studio fluorescents, with a very different illumination level, etc, etc - but the same camera within about three minutes, the same lights, the same colour chequer, and came up with:<br /><br /><TABLE BORDER=1><br /><B><br /><TR><br />  <TD ALIGN="CENTER">Item</TD><br />  <TD ALIGN="CENTER">Photo 1</TD><br />  <TD ALIGN="CENTER">Photo 2</TD><br /></TR><br /></B><br /><TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Colour Temp</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">5500</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">5150</TD></TR><br /><TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Tint</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">16</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">21</TD></TR><br /><TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Exposure</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">0.6</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">0.7</TD></TR><br /><TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Red Hue</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">1</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">2</TD></TR><br /><TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Red Saturation</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">22</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">22</TD></TR><br /><TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Green Hue</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">24</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">28</TD></TR><br /><TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Green Saturation</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-2</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">10</TD></TR><br /><TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Blue Hue</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-6</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-5</TD></TR><br /><TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER">Blue Saturation</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">8</TD><TD ALIGN="CENTER">-9</TD></TR><br /></TABLE><br /><br />So, this would be telling you that<br /><br />- most things want more red saturation<br><br />- my so-called 6500 K illumination is good in red but off in green<BR><br />- things are never the same twice<br /><br />So while it's interesting to calibrate, if you look too closely you'll  end up wishing you'd never asked. Again, YMMV.<br /><br />Damian<br /><br />PS Not really sure why U2U formatting leaves so much space above my tables. I thought I was being soooo clever, too.

  • Help With ACR Presets

    Hi! I am trying to use some new ACR presets I purchased. These are the first presets I've ever used. I am working on a new Macbook Pro, and have loaded the .xmp files to library/application support/adobe/camera raw/settings. They are now showing up in ACR, but when I try to use them, I get this message "Unable to load the raw conversion settings.  The raw conversion settings file is invalid." Any help??

    I bought them from LilyBlue. I thought it would save a ton of time from having to open in Photoshop. I have CS5. Here's the specifications from the purchase.
    WHAT VERSION OF PHOTOSHOP DO I NEED FOR LILYBLUE ACTIONS? FOR LILYBLUE RAW PRESETS?
    most lilyblue actions have been developed for cs and above. lilyblue raw presets have been developed for acr (adobe camera raw) and adobe lightroom. both versions are included in your purchase. they work on both pc and mac.

  • Frame presets for lightroom

    hi!
    i have a couple of photos i want to print in square format. somehow the format seems to g obetter with frames.
    does anyone of you know if there are frame presets for lightroom available?
    i am looking for polaroid frames, negative frames etc. all this retro stuff.
    help ver muc appreachiated.
    thanks
    jens

    thanks for the answer.
    didnt think of hat.
    so i just would need to get some high res frame images and convert them to .png with a transparent middle.
    i can understand that lightroom doesnt support this as it is not a professional feature but it still would be nice.
    i want to print lots of square format polaroid photos but printing just square format without any frame doesnt really do the trick.
    thanks for your help. it woud have been nice to have function within to be able to vary frame size but i guess i should be happy that there is a way without leaving lightroom.
    it is still in the morning and i am not 100% getting it though. would the framesize be affected by the resolution of the image or would it scale relatively always having the same size but varying in resolution and being interpolated?
    thanks

  • Presets from lightroom

    He
    llo.
    Is it posible to copy the Presets Developer from lightroom to Camara Raw?? If is yes, how to do it.
    Thank you

    Within Lightroom you can save the applied preset settings to the file then open the image in the finder and then open the image into Camera Raw and create an ACR preset from there...
    The actual metadata xmp in the processing pipeline is the same between Lightroom and Camera Raw but the format of the "Preset" files are different...wish they were the same but alas, it' not.

  • Is it possible to export brush presets from Lightroom 4?

    Hello all,
    Is it possible to export brush presets from Lightroom 4?  I created custom brush presets on my laptop and I would like to export them and import them onto my desktop if at all possible.  Did a bit of research online and could only find this link which only applies to 'Presets' in general, http://help.adobe.com/en_US/lightroom/using/WS2A36C507-E076-4b14-AAC3-87852595D175.html.  Please let me know if this is possible or not as this would be a great time saver.
    Thank you!

    Brush Presets are stored in the "Local Adjustment Presets" sub-folder within the Lightroom settings folder structure. The location of the latter varies by Operating System, or if you have "Store Presets with Catalog" checked in your Lightroom Preferences (Presets Tab)....easiest way to locate them is go to that Presets Tab on the Preferences dialog and click on "Show Lightroom Presets Folder"....that will open a Finder/Explorter window with the Lightroom folder showing. Open that folder, find the Local Adjustment Presets sub-folder and copy the brush preset .lrtemplate files to your desktop. Repeat the process on the desktop to locate the Local Adjustment Presets sub-folder, then simply copy the brush presets into it. They should then show up in Lightroom on the desktop (you may need to restart Lightroom first).

  • Disk Location of Presets in Lightroom 3

    Where are the preset files (Metadata, Develop, etc.) files located on the hard disk under Windows?  I would like to sinc my main compuer settings with my laptop.
    Thank you.

    If you go to preference in LR and select Presets, Show Lightroom Presets folder.....it will take you directly to the Lightroom folder in explorer/finder.
    On Windows 7 this is user/username/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom

  • Import external XMP as preset into lightroom

    Hello,
    working as photojournalist i get xmp-files for every job i do from the editorial office. Once the pictures are made, i have to add these (basic)xmp to the pictures otherwise i won`t get it into the system of the publishing companies. Until know i safe the XMP-files into the Metadata template folder and add them directly using the import app of Bridge CS3. Now i changed to CS6 and LR5 and it would be much easier to add these XMP during the import of LR. I tried, i searched, but it seems to be i`m to dumb – i don`t find a posibility to get these XMP`s as a metadata-preset into Lightroom!
    Is there a posibility?
    Kind regards, Tobias

    Using Finder/Explorer, put the xmp file in the same folder as a  picture that isn't in Lightroom and change its filename to match that picture. Import the picture into Lightroom, which should pick up the xmp file's metadata, and save  a metadata preset or sync the metadata to  other pictures.

  • User Presets in Lightroom?

    I currently have Lightroom 2 and am thinking of purchasing Lightroom 3. Can I transfer my user presets from Lightroom 2 to Lightroom 3?
    Also, does it matter that I'm switching to mac from PC when transferring my catalogues etc.?

    Ans 1 - The User Presets folder is shared across all versions of Lightroom, so there's normally no reason why you would need to do anything after an upgrade.
    Ans 2 - Yes, moving from one OS to another means you have a few hurdles to jump. Install Lr3 on your Mac then copy the Catalog and Previews across to the Mac. When you launch Lr3 on the Mac it will create an new default Template/Preset folder named "Lightroom" at /Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Adobe/ Next, copy the entire Lightroom Template/Preset folder from the PC to the Mac, thus replacing the original. Relaunch Lr3 and the old presets should now be accessible.  

  • How can I install presets into Lightroom 4.4 64 bits?

    How can I install presets into lightroom 4.4 64 bits?

    Hard to know where the ball got dropped without details.
    I suggest creating a new "test" preset in Lightroom, then make sure you can find it in OS (Finder/Explorer).
    Wherever you found it - that's the folder your other presets should be in. If they are already in that folder, then the preset files are not copacetic somehow (e.g. not compatible type).
    they should end with .lrtemplate

  • Downloading the LR-plugin "presets for lightroom", which I bought before.

    Hi I bought the plugin "presets for lightroom", and I can't find a file or a folder in my "download-folder" for installing after with lightroom. How may I download the plugin?

    Thank you. No I was expecting to have some kind of reply to my inquiry. Maybe its in the 8 - 10 day process, but I would think there would have been some kind of notification.
    I'll give that I try though. Pretty frustrated experience, so I especially appreciate your help.

  • Software for convert Filter Presets to ActionScript Code

    This software convert filter presets in Flash 8, CS3 and CS4
    to ActionScript code...
    Very Fast and Usseful...
    http://www.astrodreams.com/flashfilterpresets/convert_flash_filters_presets_to_actionscrip t117release.rar

    that's the easy way. just load the bitmap into the library
    and reference it. but my client needs the entire app to rely upon
    code only, no timeline or library references. so i need to recreate
    the line art of the bitmap of a grab icon into graphics api.
    wondering if there's an easy convert of a bitmap to graphics api
    actionscript code or do i have to just do it by hand which would be
    a pain.
