FAQ: What is a Preset, or How do I get that same effect?

What are presets?
Lightroom presets can be your most powerful ally in making your workflow travel at the speed of light. While most of the time "presets" means Develop Presets, these saved settings fall under the following categories:
Auto Layout Presets
Develop Presets
Export Presets
External Editor Presets
FTP Presets
Import Presets
Local Adjustment/Graduated Filter Presets
Metadata Presets
Filename and Text Template Presets
Where are my presets stored?
From Preference and other file locations:
Mac OS X: Installed and custom presets and templates have filenames ending in .lrtemplate and are located in the [user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom folder.
Windows XP: Installed and custom presets and templates have filenames ending in .lrtemplate and are located in folders in the Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom
Win Vista/7: Installed and custom presets and templates have filenames ending in .lrtemplate and are located in folders in the Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom folder.
Where can I learn more about presets?

When you set  up your Mac you had to enter a admin password to set up your user account.
If you did not enter one then try using the  "blank window" as your password. ie Just hit return with nothing entered.
If that does not work try this reference:

    I found a post from Alope that told me exactly how to fix it.
    Go to:
    Settings   - General   - Restrictions    -    put your pass code in   -     Facetime      -  turn the switch to ON
    Worked perfectly to stop the message that said, Not authorized to do that!

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? For now I will assume Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace
    fx Effects Tab at bottom of workspace
    Styles
    Strobe Light
    If you want to make adjustments to the effect applied to the clip, then
    Applied Effects Tab
    Applied Effects Palette
    Strobe Light Panel expanded
    See further details of Premiere Elements Strobe Light in the Adobe document Effects Reference under Styles/Strobe Light

  • I have just sought  to update my lightroom and am now unable to access the develop function and get a note stating that I have reduced functionality what it this about and how do I get my product back

    I have just sought  to update my lightroom and am now unable to access the develop function and get a note stating that I have reduced functionality what it this about and how do I get my product back

    Hi there
    I have version 5.7 and every time I opened it I was told that updates are available and to click on the icon to access these.  Instead it just took me to the
    adobe page with nowhere visible to update.  I then  sought to download lightroom cc and this is when I could not access the 'develop' section due to reduced
    functionality  It was apparent that my photos had been put in cc but no way to access them unless I wanted to subscribe. 
    I have since remedied the problem as  my original lightroom 5.7 icon is still available on the desktop and have gone back to that.  I do feel that this is a bit
    of a rip off and an unnecessary waste of my time though.
    Thank you for your prompt reply by the way.
    Carlo

  • I put in my memory card to the left side of the computer, but I cannot find the file of pictures anywhere. Its not even on my desktop. What should I do and how can I get it to show up on my desktop?

    If your Mac is new-ish and has one of the Lions as its OS, the drives, cards, USB sticks no longer show up, even though they're there. Go to Finder's Preferences and tick the corresponding items in the General and Sidebar tabs.

  • I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod?

    I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod? And if I can't put it on my ipod how do I get my money back? I registered my ipod on iTunes, why was a song I can't put on my ipod even offered to me? What a rip?

    Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
    - Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
    - Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
    To move mdia to the new computer see:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

  • I am using an apple TV to show a slide show which is sent via WiFi from a mini computer.  The slide show repeats for a few hours and then stops and shows "no signal".  What's going on- and how do I get the show to cycle indefinitely?

  • What is Firewire?  What does it do? How do you get it to work on the MacPro-something I must purchase perhaps?

    What is Firewire? What does it do? How do I get it to work on my MacPro?  Do I purchase it?

    Firewire is a serial connector technology that Apple incorporated in its 1999 and later machines that can be adapted to Thunderbolt, Express/34, and PCMCIA.   It can't be adapted to USB.   Many hard drives have Parallel ATA to Firewire and Serial ATA to Firewire adapters.   Firewire in its 4 pin configuration was popular on Sony devices such as Camcorders in the iLink connector format.   Apple started with the 6 pin variety that has its own power.  In 2003 it started including Firewire 800 in the 9 pin format and shifted to all Firewire 800 until Thunderbolt became standard.  A few MacBook, iMac, iBook, and Powerbook models didn't have it at all.
    Mac Pro is a desktop computer from Apple.  MacBook Pro is a notebook computer.  Not knowing your computer's age, doesn't help us determine how to adapt it.  Go to your System Profiler and look for Mac Pro x,y or MacBook Pro x,y and tell us which you see, and what x,y values you see.

  • I can't log in to my computer- when it turns on it has a white/gray screen with a flashing folder with a question mark in it.  What does this mean and how can I get it to stop to log in?

    Hi
    I dropped my macbook yesterday and it turned itself off. When I tried to turn it back on all I got was a white/gray screen with a flash folder with a ? in the middle of it?  What does this mean and how do I get it to stop so I can log onto my laptop?

    Deev
    Normally the question mark on the gray screen means it can't find the operating system. Have you tried booting up from the installation DVD? Do that, and when you come to the screen where it wants to begin a system installation you'll notice in the menubar where it say's utilites. Click on that and choose disk utility. from there choose your disk and try to verify and repair the disk. If you can you may want to also try and new install of the system. I don't know how much critical data you have, but reinstalling is an option. did you purcahse you from an Apple store? If you did you may want them to look at it. Hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Joseph

  • What is this black dot on the side of my MacBook Pro? What is it for? How do I get to it?

    I have a MacBook Pro (2011 Model & 13") and I was wondering . . . What is this black dot on the side of my MacBook Pro? What is it for and how do I get to it?
    P.S.  I feel stupid asking this question  . . ..  . because I know those who answer will know exactly about it and what to do with it . .

    To be honest when I first got it, I thought I broke that hole . . . see I assumed it was a button to eject the CD slot, and I managed to either push it in deep enough, or smash it off. . .. .  I once got a tooth pick and fiddled around in there in atempt to find something. . ..

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10sec. or until Apple logo appears (Nothing will be lost, this is just a "Hard Reset")
    Hope that helps!
    If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
    Cheers!

  • I tried to save a video to IPhoto, and then when I tried to open IPhoto it told me I can't open the application because classic environment is no longer supported.  What does this mean, and how do I get back all my photos and fix this? thanks.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know some details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is you library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
