Lightroom Export  Presets Missing!

I have tried the restore presets under preferences and doing a repair as an installation option but neither restored Lightrooms presets. I am using V2.6.  Any ideas on how I get the Lightroom export presets?

I assume that "OP" is slang for "other person."
I am experiencing two problems:
1.  Firstly I am missing presets
  a.  By presets I mean
                a. keyword presets,
                b. filter presets, and
                c. custom develop presets.
  b.  "Just missing presets"  constitutes a great deal of effort for me, and it should be for you, since it's an issue that has been raised since to LR 2 and has been raise in CS4 as well.
2.  I've also lost all my watermarks and am unable to recreate watermarks that actually appear on export files.
For the record I am using LR 3.2 64 bit beta with Windows 7 64 bit
I've been using them for months.
This problem occured yesterday for the first time.
I have backedup, as recommended by LR, several times.
Restores have not helped.
There have not been any recent system updates.
The only plug-in I use is the export to zenfolio.
The watermark problem is not related to the zenfolio plug-in, I have the same issue exporting to hard disk without the plug-in.
The watermark editor does not show the choosen graphic as it last time I checkede (several days ago.)
I don't understand why keysets are not part of the backup...
Are they not part of the catelog?
Feel free to ask me all the questions you want, but please help me resolve this issue.

  • Some export presets missing after Upgrade to LR5

    I recently upgraded from LR 3.6 to LR 5.6 (Windows 7)
    Upon opening LR 5.6, I noticed that while my catalog has successfully migrated, SOME of my customized export presets are missing. I see all of them in the C:User/Appdata/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom folder, but only some appear as options in LR5. (They all appear in LR 3).
    How do I restore these?
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    >> Is it necessary to the developers to run the export/import process after an upgrade or is the a script in the install process that should take care of this.
    You shouldn’t run any export/import. All your application should be in place.
    You should check the patch installation log for any reported errors. The file is called apxpatch.log, and it should be found in the directory where you unzipped the patch distribution file.
    Regards,
    Arie.

  • Two computers: how to sync plugin export presets?

    Apologies if this question has already been dealt with, but I did not find it from the forum.
    How should I deal with the following situation. I have two computers (desktop and laptop), and the desktop works as my "master". I want to copy export presets to my laptop for on-the-road work, including the presets that include settings for the export plugins (namely LR2/Mogrify and MetadataWrangler)?
    I can easily deal with having identical versions of the plugins in both computers, but how to sync the export presents? Is it as simple as just copying the contents of ...\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\Export Presets\User Presets? Before just testing it I would prefer to hear if the solution is that simple, or if manually copying presets would mess up the LR setting on laptop?
    Running Windows XP and Lightroom 2.3.
    Thanks is advance.

    Thanks. There should not be problems with the drive-letters due to "managed" setup on both computers. Have to test if I could set SyncToy for easy copying of setting while on home network.

  • Edit export presets

    Is there a way to delete export presets? Using 1.1 on iMac intel G5

    Make note of it's name and go to User/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Export Presets and delete it.
    Most all such items are in one of the folders in User/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom
    The is an equivalent folder/Directory on Windows.
    After deletion restart LR an it will be gone.

  • How to find old export presets on an old Mac backup?

    Hey,
    I have just bought a new computer MBPR and have started from scratch with everything, instead of loading it from my last backup from my last MBPR. However, I had a load of export presets with different watermarks etc that I would like to load onto my new machine.
    How can I do this?
    At first I thought I could find where the presets sit on my current system: /Users/Mikeys/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Export Presets/User Preset).
    So I tried finding this folder on one of my backups, but there is NO Users/Mikeys/Library folder?
    The only similar folder is this: /Volumes/Mac Mac/Backups.backupdb/Mike’s MacBook Pro/2014-01-07-204958/Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom
    Which doesn't house the presets, only the Registration information
    Help please?

  • Lost my Lightroom Export User Presets

    I wanted to export some of my files and noticed that my user presets are missing.  I was able to find the .lrtemplate files but I don't know how to bring them back into Lightroom.  I'm also missing some custom keyword sets that I created.  I am currently on Lightroom 2 and running Windows XP.

    I lost my export presets and then I realized I had changed my preferences. Specifically under Edit->Preferences tab I had unchecked the "Store presets with catalog" check box. When I rechecked this box, my export preferences re-appeared.

  • Presets Missing in Lightroom 4 on my Mac

    Hi!
    When I am in the develop mode on my Mac in Lightroom 4, the presets are missing.  I am new to LR4, and also to my Mac, however, I am very familiar with LR as I was using LR3 on a PC prior to this purchase.  How do I get them to show up?  It appears that they are there, but, I cannot open them or expand them.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!!

    Hi Victoria,
    I tried to reply to you, but, it looks like it didn't go through.  Anyway, I think I have figured my issue out.  My issue was this, when I was in the Develop module and wanted to use the Lightroom default presets, such as Lightroom B&W presets, I could see the group headings and an arrow, but, could not expand it to see the actual presets.
    So, I went under the Lightroom dropdown and into Preferences and then into the Presets folder and clicked on the button that says Reset all default develop settings. 
    I am not 100% sure that this is what worked, but, they are now there and available.
    Thanks for your question.  I am relieved that they are now there.

  • Is there any way to export or save my Lightroom 5 presets and keywords/tags to an external storage drive prior to a program and data wipe due to a corrupt registry? Thanks.

    Look at these instructions for how to move your LR to a new computer and copy things to a backup device until your computer is reformatted and you reinstall LR:

  • 1.1 not keeping export preset folders

    I have 3 export presets I use on a regular basis and I have a folder on my internal raid that has 3 subfolders-one for each preset. Whenever I launch Lightroom and try to use an export preset it asks me which folder to use. I know I'm saving the preset properly because I've tried resaving a preset a couple of times and it works properly until I shut down the app and relaunch it. Is the folder location not saved with the exports or am I missing something else?

    Hi,
    Have you used "PersistAllDeviceInstalls" setting to keep the drivers from the reference PC?
    The unattended-Setup setting: Microsoft-Windows-PnpSysPrep\PersistAllDeviceInstalls
    can save time by preventing Windows Setup from removing and reconfiguring the device state for identical hardware.
    Meanwhile, the hardware must be connected to identical locations and must use the same drivers, and the drivers must have a consistent, unique naming scheme. If the hardware is not identical, it would be problem result.

  • Is there a way of setting up one more than one export preset to a funcion key?

    Hi
    is there a way of setting up Lightroom to export images in using more than one export preset at one time? When I have edited my photos I very often want to create a full res JPEG to upload to Zenfolio with no watermark, a medium res JPEG to go to Flickr and a 1500px image with a watermark for Facebook (I normally upload these last). I'm hoping Lightroom would also have a an option to set Function keys to trigger export presets for example.
    I'd like to be able to stack export presets to help with my workflow.
    Thanks

  • Premiere CS6 does not remember some settings when saving custom export presets.

    When I save a custom export preset in the export window, some settings are not remembered, and I need to change them every time again and again! The settings so far I found to not be saved are:
    Key frame every ... frames
    Limit data rate to ...

    Interesting...
    When I create and save an a H.264 QT preset
    using the Export Settings dialog from within Premiere,
    it does not save the key frame interval or max bitrate.
    However, when I create a H.264 QT preset from within
    Media Encoder and save... the missing settings are saved
    and can be recalled from within the Premiere Export Settings dialog.
    EDIT:
    Re-tested this a bit more, and now the kf interval & max bitrate are
    being saved with the presets created in Premiere Export Settings dialog.
    Odd... my first 2 tries didn't take?

  • Lightroom Export Action and Automator

    Hi. Have an interesting anamoly that I hope someone an explain to me. I am trying to leverage Adobe Lightroom's export preset post-processing option to help in importing photos into iPhoto (where I can make easy use of the .mac photocasts). I created an Automator workflow comprised of the following actions: 1) Get Specified Finder items (with the export folder from Lightroom selected) 2) Get Folder Contents 3) Import Photos into iPhoto (with the delete source option selected).
    I placed the Automator app, named "Import to iPhoto" into the Lightroom "Export Actions" folder and selected it in the post-processing drop down in my export preset. When exporting from this preset, the file(s) are exported as expected, however, for some reason the Automator action imports duplicate files into iPhoto for each photo exported. If the photos are exported separately without the post-processing export action, and then the Automator action is run manually, there are no duplicate files imported. Does anybody have any ideas what might be occuring here?

  • Where is the LR5 export presets folder located on Mac Mtn Lion?

    I cannot find this folder?

    On Windows I can get to this folder with:
    LR -> Edit / Preferences / Presets (tab) / Show LR Presets Folder (button) and this highlights the Lightroom catalog folder because I have my presets stored with my catalog.
    Once I click into this highlighted folder, the Export Presets subfolder and all the rest of the presets subfolders are under a folder called Lightroom Settings.
    With LR 5.2 RC, at least, it appears that the Adobe presets are internalized in LR, and only the User presets are in this folder structure.

  • LZW won't stick in export preset

    When I set up a TIFF Export preset, I cannot get LZW compression to stick. It's always Compression = None.
    Building a new preset or updating an existing one -- doesn't matter.
    Is this a Lightroom bug or just me?

    I get the same thing. Looks like a bug to me.

  • HELP - lost pdf export presets?!

    Help! This morning I began work in ID and suddenly discovered that my long list of PDF export presets (which I use for work daily) was simply gone. I have only the default list - screen, print, press, etc. These are very complex presets that I need on a daily basis to produce files for my clients - I really need them.
    What happened?? Nothing is different about today; I went through my standard work process this morning. Nothing traumatic happened to ID. I repaired disk permissions and restarted yesterday, but that was a standard maintenence procedure for me - nothing unusual.
    This morning I noticed that the files in the user>library>pref?Adobe InDesign folder all showed as being modified at 8:30 this morning, when I started work.
    I back up my files and can probably (I hope) recover any missing file - but where exactly is it? I can simply replace the entire preference folder in my user folder...
    thx

    Just checking: I think this is what I do now: open Export PDF dialog; set all options,
    and click Save Preset... in bottom left? they then all appear permanently under File>PDF Export Presets and in Export PDF dialog. Is that what you mean?
    (don't mean to bug you, Buko; I appreciate all the help as ever. just trying to collect all new info.)
