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.
Steve

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

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).

Presets in Lightroom mobile

I have a lot of custom presets that I love to use. Is there a way to import these presets into Lightroom mobile?

Unfortunately, not at this time. May be in the future.

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.

Can you save system settings scratch disks locations for each project?

When you begin a new project in FCE you need to set the System Settings Scratch Disks. Typically you would set a new folder for each project to keep all of your files for each project in one location for that project.
I have a couple of FCE projects going at the same time. I've set each project with a different system setting scratch disk location. But if I open a project which should have a unique scratch disk location folder that I've already set before for that project, it ignores the setting I set for that project and just shows the scratch disk setting for the last project opened instead. It does not appear to save or remember the unique setting for that project.
If you have multiple projects going at the same time, is there a way to save the systems settings scratch disk location for each project and have FCE remember that location for each project?

I turned off the Open Last Project on Application Launch in the User Preferences and it still does not remember the unique scratch disk settings for each project.
Since it is quite common to be working on multiple projects simultaneously, you would think that there would be a way in which to save the settings for each project to help keep all related files better organized.
Any other suggestions?

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 to Get XDCAM Transfer files into FCP scratch disk locations

Hi
I'm new to XDCAM transfer. I have XDCAM Browser and Transfer, latest versions. I have successfully imported into FCP, but I was surprised to see the footage stored in a default 'Movies' location. I thought, okay, I'll just change the import location in the XDCAM Transfer preferences to the FCP scratch disk location but then I realized that since I have multiple scratch disk locations I would be defeating the way FCP works, which is to to automatically go to the location with the room for the files.
I didn't have this problem with Panasonic P2.
Is there a way to import XDCAM files into FCP and have it go to the scratch disk locations already established in FCP?
Thank you,
Phil

Hi Phil
Although XDCAM Transfer can be launched from within FCP (using the File > Import > Sony XDCAM.. command) the app itself is standalone and works outside of the control of FCP. It has no means of discovering and using the Capture Scratch location defined within FCP (because Apple do not provide any means for a third party app to do so).
The Panasonic P2 format is (can be) transfered directly using FCP's own Log and Transfer interface and so works wholly within FCP hence the target directory for imports honors the defined Capture Scratch location.
If you are working with the XDCAM EX series of camera's then you can use Sony's FCP Log and Transfer plugin (PDZK - LT1) instead of XDCAM Transfer to import your clips, and so achieve the functionality you are looking for. Although you lose some of the flexibility/functionality of the standalone XDCAM Transfer app (PDZK-P1) the benefit of handling everything directly with FCP's own interface might be preferable for you.
Hope it helps
Andy

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.

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
jens

What are some of your favorite presets for lightroom? Especially black & white?

What are some of your favorite presets for lightroom? I havent found a b&w that I like yet, i guess its personal preference. Any suggestions would be great

A couple of points
- What are your criteria for liking a b&w preset?
- No b&w preset suits every image
Also, have you tried Silver Efex Pro?

Easily switch between scratch disk locations?

I have a project which I need to edit and it's going to take up a lot of room as it's shot throughout the summer and will contain hours of footage. I already have a hard drive devoted to all of my current editing projects (lets call that Drive 1) however this new project will be so big it needs another drive entirely. I have installed a hard drive (Drive 2) into my Mac Pro just for this new project.
I know by going into FCP > System Settings I can designate a new scratch disk on Drive 2 however I have a question.
I want to upload this project to Drive 2 at various points throughout the summer but at the same time I still need to upload and access my other final cut pro projects and content on Drive 1.
How can I easily switch between the capture scratch disk locations and make sure that content is being uploaded and rendered in the right location? I want to make sure I do this right before I add any new content to Drive 2.
Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for your reply.
So if I want to upload, edit etc content to Drive 1, I just unselect all of the Drive 2 preferences in FCP > System Settings and vice versa Then when I want to use them again I just re-select them?

To take RMAN backup at multiple disk locations

Hi,
Can we configure RMAN to take backup of DB at more than one disk locations with CONFIGURE command.
Thanx.

I have just purchased a new camera that came with a Lightroom 5 disk. The same day Lightroom 6 was announced. I have not opened the disk. Can I upgrade to Lightroom 6 ?

Hi William. This article should answer your question: Do I qualify for a free upgrade?

How can I save my downloaded OnOne Presets in Lightroom 4 for use in all of my catalogues?

Downloaded and imported these presets into Lightroom, User PRESETS but they ONLY WORK with ONE catalogue (the one I downloaded them into). How can I save them so that I can continually use them in ALL of my catalogues (future and past)? This is driving me crazy (had the same problem with LR3). Read all the manuals I could find and online help but there was nothing about this.
P.S. Also have a similar problem when trying to save my "edited watermarks". Have to repeat this every time I export my photos.

In Preferences/Presets/ Uncheck Store Presets with catalog.
