Doubled list of Develop Presets in Import dialog?

Hi all, I'm running a week-old trial copy of LR3.3 on Windows, and I seem to have a doubled set of Develop Presets in the Import dialog's 'Apply During Import' dropdown menu. However, I just get the single list in the Presets panel of the Develop module.
More specifically, in the Import dropdown menu, I get:
An alphabetical listing of all built-in presets (with no user presets), followed by another alphabetical listing of all built-in presets, this time with the user presets.
So for example, if there are 20 built-in presets and 1 user preset, my Import dialog dropdown has 41 lines.
Any suggestions?

No, factory presets are embedded inside Lightroom and cannot be removed.
Well, actually, they can, but this is undocumented and you'll have to do it after each update.

Develop Preset for Import in LR4.2 (iMac 10.8.2)

Can any please tell me how to set up a preset on the Import page (there are some there now) that I can use when I import my photos into LR. I am tired of going to Lens Correction in the Develop mod to put the nikon lens in that I used for the shoot. It is always turned off and I would like to have it activated when I import my shots. I know that while in the Develop mod, I can change it for one photo and then use "sync" to have it address all the other photos. But then it is a pain in the butt. There must be a way of doing it on import and that is the reason I am asking for your help. Either that or else have it recognize the lens that I used automatically.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Hi Tunney,
I would second JimHess: of course you could employ a develop preset during Import, but then all images would be labelled as having develop adjustments. And you do not see where you have invested develop work already.
I consider the Adobe defaults just as a starting suggestion, which may or may not apply to my taste per camera.
So I would rather tweak the default develop settings: just make sure that you include only stuff that virtually applies to ALL of your images.
I, too, have included automatic lens correction and defringe edges.
First decide in your catalog settings if you want the develop defaults specific per camera type or serial number or even ISO ( a nightmare if you ever use auto-ISO).
Then select a sample image, goto develop module and set only the stuff that should apply to all imported images. Then save them as new default settings.
You do nit change anything during import then.
If you hit the Reset button it will always revert to these defaults.

Can LR do develop presets on import based on a particular lens

Wonering if you an configure LR to used develop preset based on particular lens used when importing?
Thanks All

Lee and Rob,
Thank you both for your responses.
Rob, thank you sir... I appreciate greatly some possible solutions to implement. The CollectionPreseter sounds very interesting. I am relatively new to Light Room 3 (working through Kelby's book at the moment tryng to learn), so please excuse any lightly thought out questions.
You mentioned the idea of setting up multiple collections where each would have its own preset. So lets talk about a possible workflow scenario in order to help me understand whether I comprehend the functionality of what this plugin could do.
Lets say I have 3 Collections with each having one preset assigned.
Is it possible ->
Workflow A
That after I import photos and then assign into Collection 1, CollectionPreseter will assign the defined preset on Collection 1.
Once applied, does the ability exist to then move the pictures from Collection 1 into Collection 2 (while keeping Collection 1 preset) to apply it's preset and then lastly Moving the pictures from Collection 2 (while keeping Preset 1 and 2) into Collection 3 to apply its preset? with Final Export.
OR
Workflow B
Would the flow have to be something like this based on above:
Import and place into Collection 1 (preset 1 is applied). Export and Save
Reimport and place into Collection 2 (preset 2 is applied). Export and Save.
Reimport and place into Collection 3 (preset 3 is applied). Export and Save Final.?
The other that I have not raised is what about droplets (actions) with Photoshop CS? Are multiple droplets able to be applied and ran in a batch if I integrated with CS that way?
Thank you...

Long list of Dev. presets back.

Oh, the long, long preset list is back! I had edited all of the Develop Presets out, and saved a copy of the Develop file before the last update. I tried to reuse this file now, with the 3.4 update, but LR will not launch with this file. I can not edit this (new develop) file with the file hacker program (Resource Hacker) I used before. Any help?

Well, after updating to LR 3.4.1, I tried again to edit out the long list of Develop Presets. And what'ya know! Resource Hacker will edit it! I am not sure if I did wrong a few weeks ago, or what. But I now have a list (on Grid View) of presets that is just User Presets. Much nicer.

How do I remove invalid develop presets

Hi.
I've had Lightroom on my Mac for quite some time. I've gone through periods where I use it, then periods where I don't. In one of those iterations, I somehow got a list of develop presets that are not valid.
When I go to the develop section, I have about a dozen preset folders. In my [~/Library/Application Support/Lightroom/Develop Presets] directory, I have just 4 folders that I just created this morning for a new preset group I just bought. Unfortunately, the other items inside Lightroom are causing Lightroom to give an error "The file could not be found" and will not let me open or close the folders nor remove the ones that do not exist.
How do I clean up that list and get rid of the invalid items?
In case they're built-ins, the list that is not in my Application Support directory are:
Lightroom B&W Filter Presets
Lightroom B&W Presets
Lightroom Color Presets
Lightroom Effect Presets
Lightroom General Presets
Lightroom Video Presets
If I can get those back, that'd be even better.
Thanks in advance.

OK, I deleted my Lightroom settings and life is good again.
I followed the instructions here:

Freezing in import dialog when selecting "Import Preset" FIXED IN LR3.2

Hi all,
I have just installed Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5 on my Vista Ultimate 32-bit system.
When in the import dialog if i change any settings and click "Save Current Settings as Import Preset", Lightroom 3 freezes and after a minute displays the dialog to name the new Preset. After entering a new name for the Preset and clicking OK it freezes again! then eventually comes back.
I'm also getting freezes when selecting a different import drive, but that only seems to happen when using the external network drives and is possibly un-related.
I have tried running scandisk and defrag on all my drives (no change), Removing all external network drives (no change!).
My system config is as follows;
Windows Vista Ultimate 32-Bit 4GB RAM 2x 1TB SATA Hard Drives 3.1GHZ E8500 Dual-Core Intel CPU
Plenty of space free on both drives (500GB in each), Swap on D: Drive and O/S on C:
I installed by un-installing the Lightroom 2.6 copy and running the new install(in case it's relevant!)
Lightroom 2.6 was running perfectly before the upgrade.
Any ideas I can try?
Thanks in advance!

Import using develop presets won't work!

Hi all,
I just upgraded from LR2 to LR3. A lot to hate in this new version. But I suppose one needs to adjust and no doubt I will, but there is one thing that is about to drive me up the wall. Something I haven't been able to fix, so here I am, looking for a bit of help.
Here's the problem:
Because I don't like Lightroom's Sharpening & Noise Reduction settings, I used a preset in LR2 that I applied automatically when importing my images into LR. Now, with Lightroom 3 this just won't work properly and I get exclamation marks, indicating those images are not in the 2010 develop environment. I realised I was using my old presets, created in LR2, so that made sense. So I first deleted all my old presets and to make sure, I also deleted my metadata preset that I also apply on import. I couldn't find a way to delete those presets from within Lightroom by the way. So I just went to the library and trashed them manually...
Next:
I open LR3. Now I have no user presets anymore, of any kind. I then import the first image of today's shoot. In the develop module I make sure that I'm working in the 2010 process environment. I set Sharpening and Noise Reduction to what I want them to be and make them a preset. Then I made another preset for my metadata. But after importing the rest of today's shoot with the presets I have just created, it will not accept the 2010 settings and I get the exclamation mark with every image. I have checked that the culprit is not the metadata file. If I use only that to import an image and leave the Develop Settings on None, all is well, and the image is regarded as being in the 2010 process state. If I then *manually* apply my earlier created Noise Reduction/Sharpening preset, it accepts it and all is well. But as soon as I try to apply that same preset again when importing my images, then, when I go to the develop module, the image is suddenly in the 2003 environment again and I get the exclamation marks. I have tried everything I can think of but I cannot escape it any longer: I have been defeated by Lightroom 3. What on earth am I doing wrong here? Anybody?

Yes, I get the same thing with the sliders being greyed out. Funny thing is that the sliders *are* set exactly as in my preset and when I click 'yes update' to 2010 standards, the settings don't change but only the sliders become accessible. The thing is that I really don't want to be doing that with every import, even if you can do the whole batch at once. What I don't understand is that when I import with the preset turned off and apply it in Lightroom's Develop Module, it accepts it without a problem but that when I use the same preset on import, it won't work properly.
Now what the poster in the other thread said was:
"When I saved a new preset and selected to also save the process version, a line in the preset was created: ProcessVersion = "5.7". When I cut and paste that into all my other presets then the sliders were all active when I used them."
I have no idea what he is talking about or how one would do that. When I create a preset I simply click the + sign and in the pop up window select what I want, give it a name and that's it.
Edit: Sorry, I apparently overlooked the Process Version box in the preset panel! Must have been a case of not seeing the forest for the trees. Problem solved. Thanks.

The "My Mixology" is not Showing up in my Import or Develop Presets of LR3

The "My Mixology" is not Showing up in my import or develop Presets of LR3. Do I have to download this?
Thanks for your assistance.

Hello dj_paige.
Thanks for the reply.
Here is a YouTube video which shows the presets in LR3, which is what I have. At the 1:50 mark you will see in the develop module where he clicks on the Lightroom Presets drop down. In a "LR4" Youtube video which I viewed (I can't find the dern thing!) a group called "My Mixology" was shown under which their were some other presets.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOdC561kt5I
I am unsure if My Mixology is available only in LR4 or if I can import these or what. I have looked googled for the answer but have been unable to locate it.
Thanks again for your assistance.

LR5 Import dialog does not list any images

Lightroom 5 is not seeing that a folder of images I'm trying to import has any images in it. The folder is question has well over 5,000 jpegs (it's my iPhone image depository). While I was able to import images from this folder with no problem in LR4, LR5 is telling me that there are no images in the folder. I've double checked that all my import settings are normal and the same as LR4 and it doens't matter. No matter what I do, I cannot get LR5 to see that there are any images in this folder to import.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Antonio
Here's an image of what's happening:
Message title was edited by: Brett N

"If the folder already exists in the Folder panel, select it and Choose Library > Synchronize Folder."
It doesn't exist in the Folder panel. It never has. It would mess up my workflow to have it as such. I only import from this folder.
Try (via finder) moving a few of the images in the folder to another folder that has been cataloged. Then synchronize that folder to see if the images show.
I did this and the images showed up fine, so there is nothing wrong with the image files.
Instead of invoking the Import Dialog first, drag an image from th Camera Roll folder onto the Library module or the Lr icon. That will bring up the import dialog. see if you get the same results.
Did this and it did not work.
Why this is strange is that I have no problem importing from the same folder in Lightroom 4. Something has changed here in LR5.
Here's another image of what is happening:

Import dialog shows iPhone twice, and photo list only shows outlines

In Aperture 2.1.2 I have been able to import photos from my iPhone until just recently. Now the import dialog shows three choices of import devices/locations, Local Disk, RJH iPhone and a second RJH iPhone. If I select either iPhone the main window displays outlines of 7 images but no picture information except for the filename. If I actually try to import the pics it says 'Import completed with errors, the following files were not imported' and it lists all the filenames. One of the iPhone devices shows up in the import list EVEN WHEN THE iPHONE IS NOT CONNECTED!
I'm sure there is a plist or something that has the list of import devices bu I have not been able to find it despite extended web and support searches.
Anyone heard of this?

OK, I have since discovered that the second iPhone device is listed only when my iPhone is plugged into a DIFFERENT USB port on my MBP. If I plug it into the same port I usually use, it is only listed one. However, both Aperture and iPhoto still see one iPhone device whether it is plugged in or not, and both show images with outlines only and won't import photos. So strange

Import and storage of LR4 develop presets

i use iMac 27", 16GB ram and mountain lion, along with LR4.2
i have only recently begun to use develop presets, being lazy has just creeped up on me. I have 15 or 20 presets showing in my preset panel. Most are old.
i find that under app;ication/support/adobe/lightroom, that i have two folders. one called "develop presets", and one called "user presets." both contain folders of presets. some seem to be duplicates. in total, the 2 folders contain about twice as many as in the preset panels. a good number do not show in my develop preset panel.
is this as it should be? can i create subfolders under the USER PRESETS in the develop presets panels and move them to there?
this is already sounding more complicated than it should. I will read the online help again.
thanks for any suggestions in this area.
vince

thanks RIKK. i had figured that out a few minutes ago and was considering withdrawing it. it was so simple.
in any case, i am grateful for your response

Import weirdness and import dialog box

I'm in the import box and I want to import just the RAW (DNG) files from a folder and not the accompanying JPEGs. First strange thing I notice is that Aperture is telling me that the JPEG files are roughly the same size as the RAw files. I thought I could sort the list by file size, knowing that the RAw files would all be bigger than the JPEGs. Wrong. Aperture is giving me bogus file sizes for the JPEGs. I went to the Finder to double check and, surely enough, the average JPEG file size is about 2.5 megabytes. Aperture has got them listed, on averages, as 15 megabyte files. So I cannot sort by file size.
So, I go down to the sort drop-down menu at the bottom of the Import box and I can only sort by File Name, File Size, or Image Date; the Custom is greyed out. How do I access the "Custom" sort feature in the Import Dialog box? And why is Aperture giving me bogus file sizes for my JPEGs?
Aperture is in sore need of a real update.

jrg_uk has the answer. The list view is often ignored, or just plain forgotten!

Disappearing develop presets

Hi all.... just got Lighroom 2 as a gift for Christmas and watched the 7 hour Luminous Ladnscape tutorial, so I'm ready to go.
First problem.... I downloaded some cool develop presets to tinker with, imported them to Lighroom2. At the end of the day, I quit out of the program. The next day, the presets were not there. Where did they go? Do I need to "save" them somehow?
I'm working on an iMac, upgraded to 10.5.6.

Mario,
Unfortunately I cannot reproduce what you're seeing with my german LR3.2RC.
But:
Even if I do store my presets with the catalog, I don't see any .lrtemplate files for the standard Adobe LR presets in the preset folder right next to the catalog. My catalog folder structure looks like this:
Folder [catalogname]
File [catalogname].lrcat
Folder [catalogname] Previews.lrdata
Folder Lightroom-EinstellungenFolder Develop Presets
Folder Lightroom-Vorgaben (Empty)
Folder User Presetsseveral .lrtemplate files
If I understand you right, you see 51 .lrtemplate files in the folder Lightroom-Vorgaben? If so, try to move those out of the folder while LR is closed and see if it helps.
Also, I noticed, by adding a preset in develop, the preset entries in quick develop get reordered alphabetically. Try adding a test-preset in Develop and see whether it solves your list in Quick Develop in Library.

Trouble moving Develop Presets to new Vista machine

I have moved my library from an XP machine to a Vista machine, and am losing a lot of work. What I think is happening is that my images are "detached" from a Preset.
Many of my images have a Develop Preset applied upon import. So the first step in the edit list is Import/XXXX Preset.
I have moved the images and the catalog to the new machine. The preview image looks right, but as soon as I do something to trigger a refresh, the image turns red and loses its rotation. It seems that it is applying all of the steps, except the first one. I am guessing it cannot "find" the preset to reapply it.
I have moved the Presets to the corresponding folder, but b/c Vista renamed somethings, it is not the same path to get to the Preset.
In WinXP:
C:\Documents and settings\UserName\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\Develop Presets
In Vista:
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Develop Presets
Maybe I will create a folder in Vista with the XP Path name to fake it out?
I can probably go back to my original machine and try some things, but it will be a lot of work. My edits were not saved to XMP, the edits are in teh LR database.
It's not a problem I expect can be solved here, but if anyone has idea, let me know.
Rob.

I know... it is difficult, because there are a lot of variables.
New point (and probably key) -- The ones that I am having trouble with are RAW+JPG and I just realized that in the new installation, even thought both RAW and JPG files are present, the JPGs are being displayed. So the JPGs are getting all of the edit steps that the NEFs should be getting.
I just caught that now, not sure what I will do next.

Save crop in develop presets

I've been using LR's auto-import feature for tethered capture. It would be extremely helpful to be able to save the current crop (exact location - not just ratio) to a develop preset that I can than set to be applied to all auto-imported images. I am often shooting to fit a specific layout and have to resort to sync and/or previous to get things where I need them to be. Interestingly, I find that sometimes the crop will carry over to new images, but it isn't consistent or predictable.

Add me to the list.
Using the 'original' size for a D300 is not what I want since the frame ratio 1.5056 rather than 1.5. This can cause some confusion later when printing. There should be a way to create a cropping preset or, lacking that capability make the crop ration 'sticky' until it is changed again.
