Deleting Lightroom 4 (mac) default presets

I'm buying a lot of presets from designers and also create a lot by my own. So not to loose the overview I want to delete those which I don't need. For example all the default ones (Lightroom Effect Presets, Lightroom Video Presets...). I tried to delete the template folder in finder, but then it shows an error at the next startup. If I just delete the subfolders, then the folders within Lightroom still appear on the panel, just the presets within are gone.
Any help how to make them vanish?

The only way to do it is to root around inside the application bundle itself and delete files.  This isn't a great idea, and every time you update Lightroom, they'll be back.
Others have posted the process here, if you want to search, but again it's best to assume it's not easily possible.

  • When to delete lightroom 3 after installing 4

    when do you delete lightroom 3?   Before or after installing lightroom 4 upgrade?  What is the best way to do it?

    Other than saving a little space thre's no need to delete Lr3. However, if you really must then simply drag the application to the trash (Mac) or run the uninstaller (Windows). Either method will only remove the applicaion whilst leaving catalogs, presets, etc etc behind for use in Lr4.

  • Lightroom 4 Tethering Preset Publish -- Automation

    Hello,
    I have a specific need to shoot tethered in Lightroom, apply some presets, then publish (FTP to two location, publish on FaceBook), and save a copy of the file - that is save the modified file with a new name in a different directory and close that file. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
    Thanks,
    Vic

    Automator on Mac looks very powerful and can apply a set of actions if a file or folder is added to a specific targeted folder.
    I am not a Mac expert.... but I would try the following.
    Shoot Tethered, setting up Lightroom with whatever  Lightroom Preset settings you wish to apply. You will have defined in Lightroom where the images are to be stored (Session Folder) and defined in your camera if you are using Raw / Jpg.
    Create an Automator action, which is activated for any files added to the  Session Folder above. Get Automator to open this file in Photoshop.
    You now have two options.
    a. Configure Photoshop to apply a set of Photoshop actions you require (possibly triggered by the Open File Event), which may include Raw presets and save your file to your choice of folder , with relevant settings (ie Jpg, psd, resolution, etc)
    or b.  There are a whole bunch of pre-configured Automator Photoshop actions which can purchased / trialled / downloaded from the internet (and loads of tutorials).  Some of these may apply the actions / presets you require.  This option has the advantage that you can continue your Automator script delivering the results to ftp / facebook etc. [Here is an example of such actions... http://www.robotphotoshop.com/?page_id=8 ... ps. I have no connection to this site or author, it was just the first site I found using google with photoshop / automator).
    Using Apple or Java scripts with Photoshop scripting language is an extremely powerful alternative... but unless you are familiar with script writing / photoshop object models, etc... it is not for the faint hearted.
    Automator with Photoshop should give you a lot of options.
    As I said at the top,  I am not aware of a scripting tool within Lighroom, hence the suggestion to use Photoshop and apply raw presets or any other changes using the full power of Photoshop.

  • Default presets

    I have just installed Lightroom 3 and cannot see the default presets in the Develop modu
    le although I can see a folder on my computer where the presets are sitting. How can I get them to be displayed in the
    system as I am developing my photos?

    When in the develop mode the various tools are on the right hand side of the screen, the settings there are what the default develop settings for the particular file are until you change them. If you look on the right side of the screen the history panel will show any changes made on import, so if you applied a preset on import it will show here.
    If you have accidental turned of any panels you can reactivate them from the window menu.
    Best to check out the help link from LR for the basics of how LR works, the Five Rules will give you a quick tour of the panels.

  • I Deleted the mac app store because of error 4 and i cant download it with software update

    I Deleted the mac app store because it showed error 4 and I cant download it with software update.

    I guess you have no time-machine or carbon copy cloner backup at hand.. then you will go a manual way.
    Mac AppStore is included in 10.6.6 first and a updated better version ( the latest ) is in 10.6.7, so I focus on the later :
    Use the shareware ( works without paying , nag screen only ) called "pacifist" . Locate the 10.6.7 update package on your harddisk, mount the dmg, go inside and right-click the installer package, it wil offer you top open it with pacifist instead of Apples OS installer.
    Inside pacifist you can see the various sub-packages, one item is the Mac App Store, select it and choose "install to default location" from pacifists menu.
    This way you bypass the OS' logic that it is already up to date and will find AppStore in your Applications folder.
    Note that this scenario is totally unsupported by Apple of course and you do it on your own risk.
    The official way if you have messed up the OS and have removed parts of it, would be to wipe and reload OSX plus its updates to be back..

  • How to get default presets to the left panel

    I finally installed lightroom 3 after many, many months of it sitting on my desk.  I have been watching tutorials, and playing around with it, and I have found that the default presets are only on the right side panel in library.  On the left panel in develop the heading presets shows up but when I click on the triangle nothing shows up under them.  I did see a question already on here to right click on the heading and check it which I did a few times just to see if it would work and nothing.  This is very frustrating because I have to click on each preset and undo it if I don't like it.  Please help.

    Hello!
    When I left clicked in the spot shown below,
    This field is shown (shown below). As you can see the preset menu is checked, thus the presets being shown.
    Is this what you are referring to? when you left click nothing is shown, and nothing is listed under presets?

  • How to set default preset for Save for Web

    Following the demise of my laptop, I have installed PSE8 (Windows) on my new one.
    On my old machine, the default preset for Save for Web was JPEG High
    On the new installation, the default is GIF and you have to manually scroll through the presets every time to apply the JPEG High preset.
    Is it possible to change the default preset.  If so, how.

    From where did you delete it - the Dock or the Applications folder? If the former then locate the application in the Applications folder and drag the icon to the Dock. If the latter, download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
    If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
    A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    B. Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

    Another way is to open your Time Machine back up or clone (if you have one) and copy the App Store app from the /Applications to your Macintosh HD's /Application folder.
    Right click on the Time Machine icon in the Menu Bar.
    Select Enter Time Machine; then navigate to a date you know it was still there and copy if from the /Applications folder.
