Lightroom Presets Missing

My last Mac crashed, and I ordered a new one.  Went to install Lightroom 3 last night and the disc would not work.  I then downloaded Lightroom 3 online and entered my serial number.  When I go into Lightroom the Lightroom presets are not showing.  I have spent nearly an hour trying to find an e-mail or phone number for support.  Suggestions greatly appreciated!

In the Presets pane, is the list of presets empty?
Or, is the Presets pane missing?

  • 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.

  • Missing print templates - Lightroom preset ones

    All the preset Lightroom PRINT templates have disappeared.  I see the folder on the left that says Print templates and Lightroom templates and user templates.  If I import templates they show up in user templates as expected but the Lightroom Templates is completely empty - just pops up new folder box.  I have checked preferences and looked for the template folder.  I just has a folder for user templates which seems to be what the problem is.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times to no avail.  I also went back and deleted old versions (3,4) and the preferences files and every other file/folder I could find relating to lightroom including catalogs.  I have lightroom installed on both my laptop and Imac.  The problem is occuring on both so it seems that accidently deleting something is unlikely.  I've never looked at the print module before so this may have been going on for a long time.
    Any ideas on how to get these. 
    <moved by mod from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>

    I assume you mean, Edit / Preferences...  [presets tab] Location: [Show Lightroom Presets Folder]. If you haven't yet saved any print presets of your own, then LR has not yet had any need of a User folder to contain such. So one may not yet have been made.
    The easiest way to get LR to do that, (and to be sure that you are looking in the right place) : click the + icon next to Template Browser in Print module.
    IOW: save a dummy print preset, doesn't matter about its contents, but enter some very distinctive name and then click Create. By default this should go into "User Templates", which is made as necessary, though you can choose to make a differently named folder if you prefer.
    Full path on my Win8.1 is C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Print Templates\User Templates
    Then take a look in Explorer and see what has changed - if there's any problem, you can always disk search for whatever distinctive template name you have just entered. Copy your other bought templates alongside this new dummy print preset, restart LR and you should be able to start using any of those. Delete the dummy preset in due course.
    (Note that it is quite usual for built-in LR presets to be held somewhere quite different, than user created or user added items. The provided choices such as "(1) 4 x 6" and "custom 1 over 2" may not be findable anywhere on disk, for example.)

  • Lightroom presets

    I tried to add some new presets to my folder as the directions stated and now when I open my lightroom all of my previous presets I created are missing.  They were not deleted out of the files, I just cannot see them on my lightroom anymore.  Does anyone know what folder adjustment I need to make to get my presets back?  Im in the process of editing a session, and need HELP.  Please.

    Hi Joe, 
    That was the problem, I had adobe take over my computer and fix it back to default settings and then we found my presets and added the nee free ones.  They were a HUGE help and its all fixed and session was edited.  Yeah!  I can stop panicking.  Thank you for your help, and taking the time.  Have a good day.

    If you have multiple catalogs floating around (not normally a good thing), you probably want to separate the presets from the catalogs by making sure they are not linked:
    menu: / edit / preferences / presets / location
    make sure the check box "store with catalog" is UNchecked.

  • Using Lightroom presets in Photoshop?

    Hi,
    I apologize if this question has been asked before. I've been told
    that I can use my Lightroom presets in Photoshop CS4 and 5.
    Apparently by importing them into Camera RAW. Does anyone  have any instructions
    on how to do this. Can you apply the preset to JPG's as well?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Premiere CC presets missing and Can't Open Sequence error

    I'm having a couple problems with Premiere.
    I was working on a project that's been just fine for a while, but now when I try to open it, Premiere gives the error:
    "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type."
    Also, in any project when I'm creating a new sequence, there are no useful presets. I found the sequence presets folder, and they're all in there, but they don't show up from within Premiere.
    Also, when I import AVCHD .MTS files, I get video but no audio, even though they play ok in VLC
    Solutions I have tried but which do not solve anything:
    1. Sign out, restart Premiere, sign back in
    2. Recreate the Adobe Premiere Pro preferences and plug-in cache. (using shift/option combo)
    3. uninstall premiere, reboot, run cleaner script, reboot, reinstall premiere
    4. uninstall premiere, reboot, run cleaner script, reboot, create new user account, install premiere in that user account instead of original account
    I am aware of this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/features-presets-missing-premiere-pro.html
    and this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
    Some pages I've come across have suggested running the cleaner script multiple times, but you can really only run it once, because after the first cleaning, when you run it again nothing shows up on the list to be cleaned.  Are there still remnants of Adobe stuff left on my machine uncleaned by the cleaner script that I need to delete manually?
    Has anyone else had this problem but not had any of the adobe-suggested solutions work for them and eventually fixed this?
    This is Adobe Premiere CC 2014.  I'm running it on a Mac Book Pro that's less than a year old, running OSX 10.9.5 w/ 16GB of memory.
    This is INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING.  I've spent most of the day troubleshooting this issue and all I want to do is edit my video. A cursory search of the internet shows that I am far from alone in having this problem. Also, reinstalling is not trivial because the download speeds where I am are slow.
    dave

    Well, it took a long time, but I eventually got it working properly.  All of the presets and codecs show up, I can import AVCHD files properly with audio, and the project I couldn't open before now opens fine, so it turned out not to be a corrupt project. It looks like the problem was that the cleaner script didn't actually clean everything it should have, and I had to do it all manually.
    I uninstalled all of the Adobe Creative Cloud software, rebooted, ran the CC Cleanup script, and rebooted again.
    Then I uninstalled Flash and ALL other Adobe software I had on my machine.
    Then I used the Find Any File app to find every reference on my Mac to any file with "adobe" in the name--including system files--and deleted them and emptied the trash.
    The only Adobe things I left on my machine were the Adobe RGB color profile and any Adobe fonts I had.
    Empty the trash again, reboot again.
    Then I used the CC installer to install Premiere and only Premiere (I didn't even install Adobe Media Encoder) because I didn't want to go through all that download time only to have it fail on me again.
    And at long last it worked. Then I went back and installed Media Encoder, which didn't seem to break anything, so I went back and installed the other CC software I wanted on my machine, and things are working at last.
    The "cleaner" script leaves a LOT of Creative Cloud-related files on your machine, which, in my opinion, means it's not a very effective "cleaner."  It seems to want to leave a lot of preference files and other files whose purpose I don't know (but I deleted them anyway).  There should at least be a checkbox somewhere on the cleaner that says "wipe absolutely everything related to Adobe off of my machine".
    Thanks again for your suggestions, Neil.

  • Can I use Lightroom presets in Photoshop CS4

    HI,
    There are a lot of beautiful Lightroom presets out there, I do not have Lightroom but PS CS4, Is it possible to use Lightroom presets in Photoshop CS4?  If so how do I import them ..ie: do I need to change the extension to a filter, action, and lastly which folder do I place them?
    Thank you in advance
    Alayne

    While they're not importable, you can simulate your own presets to your liking, and store as many as you wish.

  • Can I convert a Camera Raw preset to a Lightroom preset?

    I have number of presets in Camera Raw that I use in PS compositing. However, I'd like to use some of them in Lightroom now for my photography. Is there a way to convert them? The Camera Raw presets are saved in an .xmp file, while the Lightroom preset have a .lrpreset extension. They have similar information, but the formatting is a bit different (the .xmp looks more like an XML file). Any ideas?

    Thanks David, that worked. I had been using Save Image in Camera Raw and didn't know why the .xmp sidecar wasn't being saved. I do wish there was a more automated way to do this, but my searches have come up empty. Lightroom puts a, presumably, unique ID at the beginning of each preset that the Camera Raw versions don't have, and who knows where it's generated from.

  • Where are Lightroom presets found in Finder on my Mac?

    I recently had to wipe my hard drive clean and start over.  Before this I had backed up my files on an external drive.  I have reinstalled Lightroom 5, but now I want to restore all my presents.  When I go to Time Machine where do I find those presets so I can restore them?

    Do Lightroom > Preferences > Presets > Show Lightroom Presets Folder.

  • I am trying to extract an .Irtemplate file to access a file of lightroom presets I just purchased online

    I'm trying to extract an Irtemplate file to access my purchased lightroom presets.  Each time I select it, I get an error saying I don't have an application to unzip the file.  Apple looked into it and says it is either a problem with my lightroom or I am lacking a plugin from you to do so.  Can you help me?

  • Using Lightroom Presets in CS4/5 Camera RAW

    Hi,
    I converted 50 Lightroom Presets I developed that work perfectly as
    presets that can be used in PS CS4/5 Camera RAW. You can even apply them
    in bridge by right-clicking on the image. Get some freebies and let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

  • Why can't I see the Lightroom Presets in the Develp Module without having an image open?

    Why can't I see the Lightroom Presets in the Develp Module without having an image open?

    If it's in the Spam mailbox, then Spam Mailbox would show there.
    In my example above, I'm looking in the Sent Mailbox as a whole (main mailbox, not the subfolder account) and it's showing the account I sent from. If I had sent messages from my other accounts, it would show those also. The only purpose of showing the mailbox in the message list is to know which of your accounts it's to or from when you have multiple accounts. If you only have one mail account, then it provides no use to have Mailbox shown in the message list.
    When you are looking at the Sent Mail, then the message list shows the person who it was sent to.
    All other mailboxes show the person who the message was sent from in the list.
    Unless you're moving recieved mail and sent mail to a common mailbox, then it's not a big deal.
    Maybe Apple will change it in the future to show the actual Fields in the message list.

  • Use Lightroom Presets in CS4?

    Hello.
    Is it possible to use Lightroom presets in Photoshop CS4?  I can open the text files and attempt a replication manually, but it's never too close.

  • Hiding Lightroom Presets

    Is there any way of hiding the default Lightroom presets? I never use them and they take up a lot of panel space. I have a feeling we can't and it would be nice to be able to.

    No, there isn't really. You can collapse the the panel by clicking on the small triangle - for instance the triangle at the heading "Lightroom BW Filter presets", or even on the triangle at the panel heading "Presets" but you can't remove the inbuilt presets.
    Others have tried this and somehow Lr re-builds the presets next time it is started.
    See screen shot:
    When the triangle is pointing to the right the Presets panel is collapses. When it is pointing down it is expanded.
    You most probably kew this already.
