Moving presets from lr3 to lr4

I upgraded from lr3 to lr4.4. 3rd party develop presets [datacolor spydercheckr] are showing up in lr3, not lr4. how do I move and redirect these presets from 3 to 4?

You can download the 30 day trial version and install it. But when it comes time to purchase there will not be any way for you to purchase Lightroom 4. Adobe only sells the current version. That download is provided primarily to enable users of the older version to download if they have a computer crash or purchase a new computer.

LR4: Where is the BW-presets from LR3?

Hi all
I have just updated to the LR4 - and misses the BW-presets from LR3. What happened to them? I think especially of the Creative - Look 1-4. I don't think that the new "Look 1-5" is the same - or is it?
Can I export the old presets into LR4?
Morten

The LR preset to which you are refering makes heavy use of Recovery, Highlight, and Brightness (among other things). Those sliders are not available in PV2012. The new presets in LR4.x use the new sliders and the new Look 5 is close.
You could export the old presets reimport them into LR4 but realize the effect relies on Sliders from PV2010 and you will revert to the Process Version and the old slider set each time you apply them.
You could probably reverse engineer the look by creating a LR3.x edit and importing it into LR4, updating the PV and then tweaking it to match. Then you could save that as a new preset.

Import Keywords From LR3 to LR4.

I have just upgraded from LR3 to LR4. My LR3 keywords are not showing up in LR4. Found Import Keywords dialog but cannot find the folder/file with the LR3 keywords in it. Is there a folder/file name I can search for to locate LR3 keywords?
Thanks.

Importing files is not how this is done.
You want to open PSE4, then select File->Open and point to your LR3 catalog. This will upgrade the PSE3 catalog to PSE4, and all your photos will have all their keywords and other metadata.

Import Collections From LR3 To LR4

Is there a simple way to import any collections from LR3 to LR4? The import function of LR4 doesn't me see the collections so would I have to go back and grab all my "Picks" from the folders and re-create a collection?

The normal procedure is to upgrade your complete LR3 catalog to LR4, which will of course include all your collections.

Upgrading from LR3 to LR4?

Is there a difference upgrading via download or disc when going from from LR3 to LR4? I have heard people mention that it is better to download the upgrade and enter your registration code from your retail packaging later ?

As mentioned above the d/load will be the current release whereas the disk version will be 4.0 and need updating.
There are many differences between Lr3 and 4 though including catalogs (Lr3 catalogs will have a copy made and upgraded) and processing (a new process version) which can alter image appearance of existing files. So don't update the process version on existing files before you have experimented - I do it only when reviewing a file if I feel I can work it better with the new version, not updating the whole lot at once!!

Question regarding upgrading from LR3 to LR4

I currently have Lightroom 3 installed on my PC and want to upgrade to Lightroom 4.
I have not had Lightroom 3 all that long and not too many files are there. I have two questions:
1. Is it better to uninstall Lightroom 3 and then install a fresh copy of Lightroom 4 or could I just upgrade the current Lightroom 3 to Lightroom 4.
I know I have heard in the past is is usually better to to a fresh install. As I have only had Lightoom 3 for a few months and few files I wondered if
this was the way to go or would an upgrade be ok.
2. I actually have the full version of Lightroom 4 (as opposed to an upgrade edition). Luckily for me, my father-in-law purchased it but turned out it was
not what he wanted so he gave it to me. Can I use this full version to upgrade (if that is the solution to my first question)? I know I can use it to do a fresh install.
Also, if you can recommend any links to directions or video tutorials on migrating from LR3 to LR4 that would be great as I am very new to Lightroom.
Thanks for the advice.

Yes, it is very easy, as your existing LR3 installation will not interfere with the new LR4 installation.
Just download LR4.3 from Adobe.
Then start it, and go for File-Open catalog, and point to your exsiting LR3-catalog. The program will tell you that it needs to upgrade the catalog, which you confirm. This will create a new version-LR4 of your latest LR3-catalog.
You might not like the name automatically chosen by this upgrade process, so close LR4 and use Windows Explorer to rename it into something meaningful like "LR4 Master Catalaog" or some such. Then double-click on it and work from there.
Your previous images will show an exlamation mark in develop module for LR3's old process version 2010. Do not do anything on a batch basis for it, as this is not needed.
Only for images, for which you do not like your previous LR3-develop results so much, click on the exclamation mark and upgrade it to LR4's process version 2012, and manually tweak from there.

Upgrade from LR3 to LR4

Hi,
I have a few questions before I install and migrate my LR3 Catalog to LR4.
Is there an Adobe Read Me document that discusses the do's and don'ts?
Will my settings for LR3 transfer to LR4? Currently my "Lightroom Settings" is saved with my LR3 Catalog.
Will LR4 save a new LR4 Catalog based on the previous LR3 version?
Finally, can I run both programs, LR3 and LR4 on the same Mac OS X 10.7.2? I plan to do this just for the next few months and LR3 Catalog will not point to the same photos as LR4.
Thanks so much for your help.

Ian,
Thanks, yes I started to watch Ms. Kost videos, they are always very helpful. I also looked over the read me, http://www.adobe.com/support/lightroom/read_me/Lightroom4_Readme.pdf
Just a follow, can I keep and run both LR3 and LR4 on the same Mac? They will point to two different catalogs and photo folders. I want to run a couple of comparisons.
Thanks again,
If
Upgrade Notes
 To update your Lightroom 1, Lightroom 2 or Lightroom 3 catalog simply launch Lightroom 4 and you will be able to select and upgrade your previous Lightroom catalog.
 The Lightroom 4 catalog upgrade process does not erase or remove your previous Lightroom catalogs. If you wish to try the Lightroom 4 30-day trial by upgrading your existing catalog, you may always return to earlier versions of Lightroom and continue using your previous catalog.
o NOTE: Any changes or work completed in your catalog once it has been upgraded to work with Lightroom 4 will not be available in previous versions of Lightroom.
o NOTE: The upgrade process will modify the image preview information of an upgraded catalog.(This information is stored in the .lrdata file that is located adjacent to a catalog file in the file system) Returning to a previous version of Lightroom will require that the previews be re-rendered. This can be a lengthy process for those with hundreds of thousands of images.
 Upgrading a Library from Photoshop Elements 6, Photoshop Elements 7, Photoshop Elements 8, Photoshop Elements 9, or Photoshop Elements 10 for Windows requires that Photoshop Elements be installed on the computer at the time of upgrade.
 Upgrading a Library from Photoshop Elements 9 or Photoshop Elements 10 for Mac requires that Photoshop Elements be installed on the computer at the time of upgrade.
 Lightroom 4 Beta catalogs may be upgraded using the same methods available for Lightroom 1, Lightroom 2 or Lightroom 3 catalogs.
 If you attempt to upgrade the same Lightroom catalog more than once, Lightroom will inform you of the location of the previously upgraded catalog.

Moving a single catalogue from LR3 to LR4

Hi -
For some reason, one of the catalogues in my library did not transfer when I upgraded from LR 3 to LR 4. The metadata date shown in LR 3 suggests the files were imported two days before I made the upgrade, so I'm pretty sure I didn't import the images to LR 3 on autopilot having already installed LR 4.
How can I move this catalogue into LR 4, along with all the editing I did to the files in LR 3.
I've searched all the forums but they only seem to deal with updating the entire catalogue and, like I said, everything else seems to have moved over fine (I did have to make the upgrade quite late at night though and have no recollection of any of the steps involved!).
Any help in moving the catalogue along with the adjustments I've made would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks...

Thanks - I had seen that in another thread (posted by you, I think) but assumed that would reset LR4 to the LR3 library only (ie then not include work done on images imported into LR4).
But no, that's it all sorted.
Thanks again.

Moving presets from old Mac.

I just got a new computer. I re-downloaded Lightroom 2 from my Adobe purchase history. Now I need to be able to access my old presets and library. How do I move these over? NEED HELP ASAP.

Copy the Lightroom catalog(s) you're using, including the Previews folder to save time, as well as the presets folders from your old computer to the new one (while LR is closed). You can find the appropriate folder locations here for LR2.

How do I upgrade from LR3 to LR4 on both my MAC and my PC?

I have LR3 installed on my PC desktop and my MAcbook Pro. How can I download and upgrade both without buying it twice?

As long as you do not run both LR versions at the same time the Adobe license allows you to intall it on 2 machines.
You need 1 download only, as the program is identical on Windows and on Mac.
It is sufficient to let one of the machiens do the actual upgrad work and copy the reults over to the other.
From then on you have the usual challenge of keeping overlapping catalogs apart and knowing exactly, which portion is newer on which one, so you can export this portion as a catalog and import it into the other.
But I assume you have figured this out in a good workflow for you?

Requirements for upgrading from LR3 to LR4

The processor requirements for LR4 reads "Multicore Intel processor with 64 bit support." The processor description in the iMac I bought in early 2009 reads "2.8 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo." Will my processor handle LR4?
Thank you
Jim B

Opening an image from LR3 or LR4 into Ps

I still have Ps 4 on my computer and installed Ps 6 Beta. Now when I am in LR (I have both LR 3 and LR 4 full versions) and right click an image to "edit in Ps) I only have the option of editing in Ps6 Beta. What happened to the "edit in Ps 4" option. I'd like to be able to choose while in transition between Ps4 and Ps6.

Take a look at this FAQ regarding associations and Bridge, it may help with Lightroom also.
FAQ: What do I need to know about file associations when I load the Photoshop CS6 beta?

Problem in moving files from LR4 to Photoshop CS5

I have recently upgraded from LR3 to LR4. I have not changed my workflow between LR and PS. However, when I try and open a file I'm working on in LR4 in PS using "Command + E", a dialogue box appears stating "The version of LR may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 7 for full compatability. Please use the Camera Raw Plug-in using the update tool available in the Photoshop menu".
However, when I check for updates using the PS update tool, I am told all my software is up to date!?
I have gone onto the Adobe site to check the current version of CR and do not see Version 7?
if I move the file from LR to PS regardless of the above, the image rendered bears no similarity to the adjustments already made in LR.
I would appreciate any ideas.
Thx, Denis

search the forum.. was answerd a dozen times.

How many computers can I put LR4 onto? (it would be upgrade from LR3)

Before I upgrade from LR3 to LR4, I need to know how many computers I am allowed to put this on (I have desktop and laptop).

Hi,
two computers owned by you and you are not allowed to use lr at the same time (both running) on these computers.
