Grouping of develop presets in the 'Saved Presets' dropdown in Library module

I'm sure a lot of people download lots of presets from the internet to try, and end up with loads of them.
In the library module, they all appear as a single long, cumbersome list in the dropdown 'Saved Preset' in the quick develop panel.
This makes this dropdown totally unusable if you have more than say, 40 presets - often the most commonly-used presets are at the bottom, and you have to scroll for ages to get to them.
Would be great (and a simple solution) to be able to group them. You can group them in the presets folder, and they do appear grouped in the 'develop' module, but not in the library module.

+1 vote.
Presently, I just use the Develop Module if I want to assign a preset - because it has the folders.

  • How can I export the saved preset settings for Batch Renaming on Bridge?

    I've developed a few Batch Renaming presets and want to share them with my team, but couldn't find where they are saved.

    but couldn't find where they are saved.
    I can only provide you with the path for a Mac but Windows should be something similar
    User library (By default hidden per OSX7, use menu go with option to reveal)/ Application Support / Adobe / Bridge CSxx / Batch Rename Settings. Inhere are the saved files with the extension '.setting'

  • LR 1.3 cannot save changes to export preset - only create new presets

    So, in LR 1.2, I could change some parameters in a preset (export presets) and then save the changed preset. But the upgraded LR 1.3 export form does not seem to have a "save" option. I can create a new preset, I can remove a preset, but I cannot save a change to an already existing preset. I can get around it by ...
    . add, creating a new (ie. temporary) name saving my changes
    . open the original preset
    . remove (the old preset)
    . open the new preset (with the temp name)
    . add using the old preset name that I like to use
    . open the temporary (ie. new) preset
    . remove (to delete the temporary preset)
    - yuck! What an ugly work around :(
    Can we please have our save option back again?

    It's still there. Right-click the preset you want to update and select that option.

  • Saving Effects Presets and the new Mask feature-are masks supposed to be saved?

    I'm finding that if I put a new mask on a clip (say a mosaic) and then adjust the mask so it's over someones face, then save a custom preset so I can call up the effect faster when I need it again (ideally just moving the position of the mosaic and perhaps adjusting it's size), the mask IS NOT saved in the preset.  I'm referring to highlighing the MOSASIC filter, then right-clicking SAVE PRESET, giving it a name and having it show up in the EFFECTS panel "Preset" bin.
    Is the mask you create in a filter SUPPOSED to be saved as part of that preset you're saving as mine are not.  It does save the MOSAIC filter and any adjustments I've made to the horizontal and vertical blocks, but not the mask itself.  That seems like an oversight.  I find this interesting because if I've COPY  the clip that paste it's attributes to another clip, in that case it DOES take the MASK with it and I can manipualte, but not when saving as a PRESET.
    I'm trying to determine if I'm having a problem or if saving the mask you create in the mosaic (or any filter) is supposed to save with a preset or not?
    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    i have the same issue. i applied a mask to the color corrector (3 way) and when i saved the preset the mask did not save. anyone else? help on this?

  • PE4 Saving My Presets effects when saving the project

    I have created custom effects and saved them in 2 folders within My Presets Effects. I also exported the 2 folders in one ".prfpset" file. After I save the project and exit premiere, and reopen the project, My Presets effects are not present. I have to import the saved ".prfpset" file everytime. Is there a way to keep the My Presets effects as part of the project and/or premiere (just like the standard effects)????

    Steve,
    Thanks for your reply. Unforturnately the effects are not available in My Presets folder in any project that I open or create. So I have to import the exported ".prfpset" everytime. From what you are saying, the My Presets folder automatically becomes part of Premiere (and not only a project). Looks like I have a defect in Premiere or did something to unset an option to save.

  • Error message: The preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom sequence setting instead. To continue editing using the original preset, qu

    Hello all,
    I can't open a PP project without this error message appearing:
    "The preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom sequence setting instead. To continue editing using the original preset, quit the application without saving the project, reinstall any third-party components that are required and reopen the project".
    What I had been doing before this occurred was editing a PP project using ProRes sequences and multi-camera editing. Multi-camera was not working very well and after a few attempts to fix that I gave up and finished the job cutting 3 layers of video instead. AME refused to render the three finished sequences of over 1hr duration so rendered final videos from the PP sequences.
    I tried deleting plists for AME, PP and QT, repairing disc permissions and rebooting but there was no improvement.
    Client is satisfied for now but will want to come back to this job at a later date so decided to uninstall and re-install AME and PP in the hope both would be ready to work properly when needed again. AME works fine in conjunction with a different PP project but now I can't open the PP project in question without the above error message appearing.
    Having searched the net it would seem that the problem may be caused by ProRes but I haven't been able to find a definitive solution for the problem. Does anyone know either:
    1. How to fix this?
    2. If I chose the "modified using a custom sequence setting", can I be sure that my sequences will look the same even if they don't use ProRes? The final deliverable format will be mp4 so as long as the overall look doesn't change then I can  afford a change in the edit codec. It's just that with three sequences over an hour long, I don't want days of work to be ruined.
    Other older PP projects of mine open and work fine.
    Premiere Pro CC 8.2.0
    Media Encoder CC 8.2.0.54
    OSX 10.10.2
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Duncan.

    Adobe web chat come up with a solution.
    Open the PP project.
    Export your sequence or project as a Final Cut Pro XML file.
    Set up a new PP project.
    Import the Final Cut Pro XML file.
    This will get you back up an running.
    Since getting back to editing this project I have found that some things will be lost or change in using XML:
    You will lose position key framing, black video clips, dissolve fx, audio levels, audio dynamic fx, the ability to open a multi camera clip and change the camera view.
    You will keep cut points, crop fx.
    Not perfect but only took a couple of hours to save 3 days work.

  • FAQ: How do I migrate my saved presets from an earlier version of Photoshop or import/export them?

    You now have the option to migrate presets from a previous version, export presets and to save to a directory as a zip file (great for instructors).
    Preset Migration migrates your saved presets, not your preferences. The message says "Would you like to migrate presets from the following versions?"  It simply carries on the preset files you have already saved (things like Brush Tips, HDR Toning presets, Curve presets, Styles etc.)  to CS6.
    HOW TO USE PHOTOSHOP CS6 AUTOMATED PRESET MIGRATION
    Photoshop CS6 offers the great new functionality of automated preset migration for your custom presets from Photoshop versions as far back as CS3.
    When Photoshop CS6 launches for the first time, it checks for previous installations of Photoshop on the computer to see if there are custom presets that need to be migrated. Photoshop looks in each of these presets folders for your saved custom preset files that it can migrate.
    Preset migration script copies all the files in user preset folders of older versions. If there are more than one preset files with the same name, presets from the newer version will be given priority. These types of presets will be migrated by the script:
    3DLUTs, Actions, Black and White, Brushes, Channel Mixer, Color Books, Color Swatches, Contours, Curves, Custom Shapes, Deco, Duotones, Exposure, Flash 3D, Gradients, HDR Toning, Hue and Saturation, Levels, Lighting Effects, Lights, Materials, Meshes, Optimized Colors, Optimized Output Settings, Optimized Settings, Patterns, Render Settings, Repousse, Scripts, Styles, Tools, Video, Volumes, Widgets, Zoomify, and Workspaces
    If this is not your first launch and you would like Photoshop to look for presets,
    Choose Edit > Presets > Migrate Presets
    When Photoshop notices that you have custom presets saved in their appropriate folders it will give the message "Would you like to migrate presets from the following versions?"
    Choose Yes. Photoshop will begin the preset migration script.
    When the migration has completed Photoshop will pop up another message saying:
    "Preset files from older versions successfully migrated"
    In order to use your newly migrated presets, you must restart Photoshop.
    If you had Photoshop CS6 beta installed and have saved custom presets, you will need to export those presets before uninstalling the previous version and installing the release version of Photoshop CS6.
    HOW TO SAVE PRESETS
    For PS, check that you have saved all your presets using:
    Edit>Preset Manager... (in previous versions) Edit>Presets>Preset Manager... (in CS6)
    HOW TO IMPORT AND EXPORT PRESETS
    In the main PS menu,
    Choose Edit > Presets > Export/Import Presets
    In this dialog you can export the presets and then import them when you load the new version using the same Export/Import dialog.
    If you have gone through the automated preset migration and notice that some of your presets didn't get migrated with the rest, make sure you have exported your presets to their default folders.
    PRESET FILE LOCATIONS:
    (Note that there are two different folder locations for presets, one for application provided default presets, and one for user created preset files)
    These are the presets that are unique to each user on the computer. These can be migrated automatically: (this is the location that the user should save their personal presets in)
    Windows:  Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets
    Mac:  Users/[Username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets
    These are the default presets that ship with Photoshop.  These presets can be imported but will not copy over using the migrate feature because each version of Photoshop will install defaults for that version.

    Do you have an  iPhoto Library from the old machine? If you have then simply open it - there's no importing involved.
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    If you don't have an actual library there is no way to do what you want.

  • What are the different metadata fields for in the Metadata presets?

    The metadata preset box has a comprehensive array of metadata sections and fields. I just don't know what a lot of them should be used for. Some of them appear to duplicate headings in other fields, albeit with different names.
    Can someone tell me what kind of information the following fields are meant for?
    Basic Info
    Label - I've seen this used for the authors credit. The "Creator" and "Copyright" fields seem to take care of this though. Should it be used for something  else?
    Copy Name - ?
    IPTC Content
    Headline - I've read that this is for describing the content. Isn't the "Caption" field in Basic Info for this?
    IPTC Subject Code - ?
    Description Writer - The author/creator? If not, who?
    IPTC Image
    Intellectual Genre - Same as "Category"?
    ISO Country Code - ?
    IPTC Status
    Title - This may seem obvious, but the title often appears in the caption.
    Job Identifier - I'm assuming this is for applying information pertinent to the author's filing system. If I'm wrong, what is it for?
    Instructions - as above?
    Provider - Author again?
    Source - Author yet again?
    I'm sure there will be those who will argue that some or even most fields can be used for whatever information we wish to put in. My point is that they must be there for specific reasons.
    Oh yes, before someone points me in the direction of the IPTC website, I've been there already and it was full of gobbledygook!
    Thanks in advance.

    Also on the IPTC photo metadata site is a more approach able guide to using the fields:
    http://www.iptc.org/std/Iptc4xmpCore/1.0/documentation/Iptc4xmpCore_1.0-doc-CpanelsUserGui de_13.pdf
    This guide was written for the original 1.0 IPTC Core specification, but I think it covers most of the terms you want to understand better. Specifically, it talks about the different roles the Headline, Title and Description (aka Caption) play as well as the Creator, Source and Provider.
    Examples:
    Headline:
    A headline is a brief publishable synopsis/summary of the contents of the photograph. The Headline term should not be confused with the Title term.
    Description:
    The Description field, often referred to as a “caption” is used to describe the who, what and why of what is happening in the photograph. If there is a person or people in the image, this caption might include their names, and/or their role in the action that is taking place. If the image is of a location, then it should give information regarding the location....
    Here are three other places you might want to look for or ask about how other photographers are using the metadata:
    The PhotoMetadata.org web site
    http://www.photometadata.org/
    David Rieck's ControlledVocabulary.com
    http://www.controlledvocabulary.com/
    -See Resources > CV Forum to find the Yahoo! groups forum for the site.
    Peter Krogh's, the DAM Book site and forum:
    http://www.thedambook.com/
    http://thedambook.com/smf/index.php
    The "Label" field is used to control the colored label that's displayed for the file in Lightroom, Bridge and (when opening multiple files) in the Camera Raw plugin. Both Lightroom and Bridge ship with default values mapped to the six-standard label colors. In Lightroom choose the Metadata > Color Label Set > Edit... to change them. In Bridge, use the Label panel in the Bridge preferences dialog.
    You can really use this for whatever you need, but unlike the other terms defined by the IPTC, you should not necessarily expect others to use them for the same thing. Putting the photographer's name there probably doesn't make much sense. I know one Photographer who's assigned the name of a stock agency to each of the label colors so he can track what file was sent to what agency.

  • "Print Settings" are not stored in the print preset

    Hi everybody,
    It seems that, no matter how many times i save and update the profile, all the print setting (image size, sharpening, bit depth, color management, ...) are store within the preset, all but the Epson Driver settings, which have to be selected every single time.
    I really can't remember if this bug was present in 4.0 or not (I'm currently running 4.1 RC), but I'm quite sure it was working OK under 3.x. Here's the thing.
    I configure the printing settings and create. a profile: Profile1.
    I change all the settings and create a second profile: Profile2. The "Print Settings" settings are different, same printer, one for Color (Profile1), one for Advanced B&W (Profile2).
    I click on Profile1 (which was created with color Print Settings). Clicking on "Print Settings" or "Print", the printer settings selected under the epson driver is the ABW one (the one that belongs to Profile2).
    I reselect the correct setting from "Print Settings..." (Color).
    Click "Save" again.
    Righ-t click on Profile1 -> Update with current Settings. Setting seems to be saved.
    I then click on Profile2 and bam! The "Print Settings..." seems to be rverted to color instead of ABW.
    Update the correct settings, back to point #3
    Can you reproduce this? This behavior is vanishig the power of the "Print One" button, unless you constantly print with tha same Driver settings.
    Lightroom version: 4.1 RC [820174]
    Version: 10.7 [3]
    Application architecture: x64
    Physical processor count: 4
    Processor speed: 2,4 GHz
    Built-in memory: 8192,0 MB
    Real memory available to Lightroom: 8192,0 MB
    Real memory used by Lightroom: 2388,3 MB (29,1%)
    Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 4759,6 MB
    Memory cache size: 866,7 MB
    Displays: 1) 2560x1440, 2) 1680x1050
    Epson R3000, latest OS X Epson Drivers.

    I may have resolved the issue.
    The bug is there, because the name of the preset is kept as the last used, which is wrong.
    If you revert to the default "Default Settings" Epson preset, and change all the parameters as you like, then click Save and update the Lightroom preset, the settings are stored correctly.
    You'll have to check every preset (I have two dozens) and re-update with the new correct (or wrong?) Driver configurations, so that you could have faith again in the "Print One" button.

  • CS6 Three-Way CC not importing setting from CS5.5 Timelines or from Saved Presets from CS.5.5

    Hello,
    I had created two presets for the CS5.5 Three Way Color Corrector that I use in almost every project for dealing with sun shadows and hightlights on talents's skin and they no longer work in CS6.  I've tried loading the old project/timeline/sequence into Premiere CS6 but the TWCC just acts like it is at default settings. No changes to the video at all. 
    I also had saved my two TWCC settings as presets (from CS5.5) to the hard drive to I would not loose them.  I tried reloading those presets into CS6 but same problem.. they do nothing now.   I guess no one checked to see that the new CS6 TWCC was backwards compatible with CS5.5.   Major problem when loading / converting cs5.5 timelines to update client's projects.   Adobe, please take a look at this and fix as soon as you can.  Thanks!  Wayland
    Version info:
    CS6 Cloud (last update as of friday Sept. 28, 2012)
    CS5.5 Master Collection (previous version - now uninstalled)
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

    Hi Jim,
    I've spent the better part of the day trying to redo what I had before and frankly the new TWCC sucks!  The previous one was sooo much better.  I can't even get close to what I had before. Many of the controls show up when you select 'show' but have little or no effect on the real video.  I wish I could just delete the current one and replace it with the old one.  If I still had CS5.5 I'd try that.  Not happy at all.  I'll be up all night trying to catch up due to time wasted on this stupid redesign of the TWCC as I have a ton of work due tomorrow. 
    Thanks for the reply and Best Wishes,
    Wayland

  • 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?

    I still use Aperture 2.1.4.  I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile.  Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue.  Help?  Is there some way to add the CMYK profile to the list of choices that are available in the export preset dialogue such that I can choose it?

    leonieDF
    Thanks for your response.  My profiles are located within color sync utility as you can see here:   
    These profiles do not respond to clicking and dragging.  Since they are all in one place, more or less, I'm reluctant to make further attempts to relocate them.  Accessing the CMYK profile is the first difficult experience I've encountered with this arrangement.  I have never needed the CMYK profile until recently, and that need has now past.  However, it remains a mystery to me as to why it does not appear with all the others on the menu of export choices in Aperture 2, or on the menu of profile assignment choices in the Preview application (where again all the other profiles are listed as choices).  I'm beginning to think my current set up will permit me to view an image that was created in CMYK space, but does not easily assign, or convert to that space.  I don't face these restrictions with all the others, so it remains a curious circumstance for me.  I anticipate upgrading my computer and software in the near future which might alleviate this issue altogether.  Again, many thanks for your attention to this matter.  The reach of this community is astounding.
