Multiple presets in LR3

Is there a way to apply two different creative presets to one image in LR3? I want to use the PC vignette and the rounded edges.

Perhaps you could clarify the problem?
I mean, you can use as many presets as you want - but, one preset will overwrite anothers settings when they overlap. If that is your dilemma, then the only solution I know is to export back into lightroom - I do this occasionally to get "layers" of sharpen and or vignette settings.

  • The "My Mixology" is not Showing up in my Import or Develop Presets of LR3

    The "My Mixology" is not Showing up in my import or develop Presets of LR3. Do I have to download this?
    Thanks for your assistance.

    Hello dj_paige.
    Thanks for the reply.
    Here is a YouTube video which shows the presets in LR3, which is what I have.  At the 1:50 mark you will see in the develop module where he clicks on the Lightroom Presets drop down.  In a "LR4" Youtube video which I viewed (I can't find the dern thing!) a group called "My Mixology" was shown under which their were some other presets.

    I am unsure if My Mixology is available only in LR4 or if I can import these or what.  I have looked googled for the answer but have been unable to locate it.
    Thanks again for your assistance.

  • Any way to export with multiple presets at once?

    Hi! Is there any way to export with multiple presets at once? I do a lot of product photography, usually clients send me around 5 to 10 pieces to photograph, and from each photo requires to be exported to about 7 different formats and sizes for different uses. I have a preset for each export, but this requires multiple clicks per export, select the preset, the destination folder, etc.....   and at the end I end taking about 1 hour to just export files when if I could just select 1 time a folder of presets and the destination folder just once, then it will take no time to get all oft those exports.
    Thanks!

    Some of those other photographers have assistants they can task with doing the drudgery.
    I would describe what you're wanting scripted multiple exporting, not multiple export presets, because multiple-exports don't necessarily rely on presets, just initiating an Export and clicking on various things for each one.
    I assume you have a preset set for each of the 7 format-size-uses variations, and then most of the time consuming part is setting the Choosing the destination folder that gets mirrored to DropBox?  You can copy/paste most of the path into the Folder address area after clicking Choose.
    Without knowing what your master-photo folders and dropbox-mirror folder names and organization are it's hard to know if you've thought of all the shortcuts you might use or if things are organized in the most efficient manner.
    If you're on Windows, maybe something like AutoHotKey macros would help with what you're doing.

  • 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.

  • Lightroom 2.0  Apply multiple presets to selected images

    Lightroom 2.0, Windows XP or Vista
    Is it possible to apply multiple presets, e.g. General - auto tone and General - punch to a selected range of images in Library or Develop Mode?
    What are the steps to do this?
    Thanks in advance,

    I'll try to clarify my question regarding presets.
    1. Can I somehow apply more than one preset to images during Import?
    2. Can I select a group of images, in either the Library or Develop mode, and apply a preset to the entire selection with one or 2 clicks of the mouse. I'd like to avoid clicking on each image to apply the preset.
    I'm not concerned that the multiple presets may be additive. In fact that is exactly what I am trying to accomplish.
    Thanks much for your patience, I'm a newbie.

  • How to add multiple presets to responsive design view without having to resize the screen each time

    I want to be able to add multiple screen size presets to the responsive design view capability but don't want to have to resize the screen and add each one individually via the custom preset function.
    Have seen that some posts on the internet (http://g-liu.com/blog/2013/08/firefox-rdm-presets/) that say this can be done but cannot find where the config is held in ver 26.0?

    You can also do the opposite and create custom settings in the responsive design mode window.
    You can hold down the Shift key and drag the borders via the (right border, bottom border, bottom right corner) resize icons to get specific dimensions and give the current custom setting a name to add them as a preset.
    This will add the preset to the devtools.responsiveUI.presets pref.
    See also my post here for a bookmarklet.
    *[[/questions/957590]]
    You can paste the current value of the pref in the prompt to see a list of currently defined presets.<br />
    You can add a new preset by entering the width,height,name values in the prompt.<br />
    Copy the new preset list to the pref.
    <pre><nowiki>javascript:(function(){
    function rdObj(w,h,n){with(this){key=w+"x"+h;if(n)name=n;width=w;height=h;}}
    rdObj.prototype={key:"",name:"",width:"",height:""};
    var n={},p='<width>x<height> <name> OR width,height,name',rd=[];
    while(p!=null){
    p=prompt(p,JSON.stringify(rd));
    if(/^(\d{3,4})[,x](\d{3,4})([, ](.+))?$/.test(p)){
    n=new rdObj(RegExp.$1,RegExp.$2,RegExp.$4);rd.push(n);
    }else{try{rd=JSON.parse(p);}catch(e){}}
    }})()</nowiki></pre>

  • Can I edit the rounded corner preset in LR3, or how to make my own?

    Although I'm pretty much a LR newbie, I think I understand how presets are created. But I can't figure out how the rounded corner presets were done. I would like to have a much deeper rounded corner and I've made them in PS with the rounded corner marquee tool.
    But in LR3?
    Is there a way to display the "contents" of a develop preset?

    Is there a way to display the "contents" of a develop preset?
    Yes, you can open it in a text editor. Right-click a preset in Develop and choose "Show in Explorer".
    A rounded corner like this?
    Set Feather to 0. Adjust Roundness for radius and Midpoint for inset amount.

  • Set a Metadata Default Preset in LR3?

    I'm wondering if there is a way to set ONE "custom" preset to be the default metadata for all time - applied to every single image ever brought into LR3?
    I want to use these to help © my work and leave embedded contact information in the files - but it is a big pain to have to do it manually for every time I import files - also something I don't always remember to do all the time.
    I don't ever need different presets - just one main one.  As it stands it comes up as "NONE".    I'm stumped as to where one sets a default meta preset.  Within the preset editor -  the program preferences - nowhere that I can find.

    But I'm not aware of any place where one can set it to a default preset - so that it requires NO adjustment/setting - and no manual attention ever again
    If you set it in Import, it's remembered for future import sessions. How more much persistent than this should but be?
    Every time a new catalog is made.
    And it is valid for all catalogs.

  • 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.

  • Default Image settings - handling multiple presets?

    Default Image Settings allows for presets based upon camera serial number and ISO.
    How is ACR handling overlapping presets? Does the addition of choosing the ISO within prefs simply override the noise reduction and leave the remaining presets untouched?
    And, ( should be in feature requests ) would it then be feasible to add a pref in the future to make lens correction presets based upon embedded lens data. I realize that zooms often require multiple CA settings but primes can be relatively stable.
    thx
    pg103 seems to imply that its either serial number or ISO
    >Select the appropriate options in the Default Image Settings section of the Camera Raw preferences to specify whether to associate the defaults with a specific cameras serial number or with an ISO setting.

    >Default Image Settings allows for presets based upon camera serial number and ISO.
    Uh no...it is wrong to consider the per serial/ISO as "presets"...they are "Defaults"...big difference in implication if not concept. The "Defaults" that are set based on ISO/Serial are hard "all in one" defaults that are captured when you make the current settings the default.
    Presets can indeed use overlapping presets because you can save out subsettings as presets. That can't be done with Defaults.
    As far as the lens corrections thing, expect interesting developments on that front for the next version.

  • Still no option to include crop in User Preset in LR3...

    Can anyone explain to me why the developers of Lightroom insist on excluding the option of saving crop ratios along with the other adjustments in the User Presets?
    I see that new adjustments such as lens correction are now included as options in LR3 User Presets, so why has crop ratio not been added?
    I am a professional photographer, shooting mostly interiors and still lifes with the camera tethered to my computer.
    I switched from C1 Pro to Lightroom 2 due to unresoved software issues with C1 Pro and for the most part have been happy with switch, using the Auto Import feature to shoot directly into Lightroom and applying a User Preset automatically on the import.
    However, I have been frustrated by the inability of Lightroom to automatically apply a crop to an incoming image - frequently I am required to shoot for a specific layout and on many shoots art directors or clients are looking at new versions of images as they come on screen and to have to manually apply a crop before they can view an accurate composition is irritating for all.
    I realise that it is now possible with LR3 to shoot tethered 'natively' into Lightroom 3, which solves the issue of automatically applying a crop to an image on import by selecting 'same as previous' under Develop Settings. However, I am unable to use the 'native' tethered option as, although I normally shoot with a 5D II which is supported, when mirror-lockup is enabled, the Lightroom tethered control panel will not fire the camera shutter (this is similar to C1 Pro). Therefore, I need to be able to use the Canon Eos Utility to fire the camera, coupled with the Auto Import of Lightroom when using mirror-lockup, which means being unable to apply a crop on import.
    Adding the option to save a crop ratio with a User Preset would have two significant benefits in my opinion:
    1. It would mean that a crop could be applied automatically on import when shooting tethered and not wanting to use LR3's native tethering interface.
    2. Users of cameras not supported by LR3's tethering would be able to apply a crop automatically on import.
    The other solution would be for the developers to include the 'same as previous' option for those using the Auto Import feature.
    I really do hope that the option to save a crop ratio as part of a User Preset in Lightroom is included sooner rather than later, as I feel that it is a glaring omission in what is otherwise a very solid application.
    Any views would be appreciated.
    Regards
    Liam

    Thanks for suggestion Gary.
    Using Live-view on 5D II does keep the mirror in the lock-up position and therefore you could use this technique with LR's tethering controls. However, for me this is not a solution for a few reasons: Live-view shooting drains the battery; extended use of Live-view can have a negative effect on sensor noise due to heat; sometimes it is very useful to be able to use the EOS Utility to control camera settings e.g. changing length of exposure for blending purposes without the need to touch the camera at all.

  • Quick question about rendering and exporting with multiple presets

    Probably a very simple question but I'm pretty new to PPro, so I'd appreciate your help...
    I've got an uncompressed AVI video that I want to export to mp4 using several presets (that means several exports). What I intend to do is the following:
    I create a sequence and put my AVI file in there and then I just apply the preset and without rendering go to export media, select my export setting, and put it in the encoding queue at the Media Encoder. Then on the same sequence, I clear the preset and apply a new one, and again without rendering, go to export and then to the encoding queue. I repeat this for as many times as presets as I want to apply. At the end I have created (in no more than 2-3 minutes) several exports in the Adobe Media Encoder queue, that I can launch and go and do something else while encoding...
    My question: will the export files each have the different preset applied even though it was not rendered? if it does not work, would that work if I were to do this with each preset applied on a different sequence, even without rendering?
    Thanks in advance for your input!

    I create a sequence and put my AVI file in there and then I just apply the preset.
    Then on the same sequence, I clear the preset and apply a new one, and again without rendering, go to export and then to the encoding queue.
    Does "apply the preset" mean selecting an encoding preset
    before sending the Sequence to the Queue?
    If I understand what you are trying to do...
    It sounds like you want to do multiple, different format
    exports from the same Premiere Sequence.
    If so...
    I would Queue the Sequence to Media Encoder once from Premiere,
    then duplicate the entry in the Queue (Ctrl+D) and assign the
    different encode types to the duplicates in Media Encoder,
    (instead of Queueing the Sequence multiple times).
    ...will the export files each have the different preset applied even though it was not rendered?
    A Sequence will be encoded using the assigned settings.
    You can set multiple encodes in the Queue, each with different settings.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "even though it was not rendered...".
    Unless you have specified 'Use Preview Files' in your encoding,
    it will make no difference if your Sequence is 'Timeline Preview'
    rendered or not.

  • How do I add a caption to multiple images in LR3???

    I have a very simple need: To apply captions to multiple photos at once. How do I do this in Lightroom 3 AND PLEASE KEEP IT SIMPLE. There are places that purport to address this question but they in fact do not provide any solution. Thanks in advance.

    Folks, I wish this was the answer but it simply is not. I just did exactly what you suggested and nothing is added to anything but the first image I select -- all the others selected remain empty. Not being contrary -- I am on a deadline -- but no, this is not the solution. What am I missing?

  • Installing Presets in LR3 on New iMac

    I just installed Lightroom 3 on a new iMac and I am trying to install my presets from my old computer. I go to library>application support>adobe>lightroom and there is nothing in the lightroom folder. I'm not sure where the information is. The software is definitely installed as I can open and use it. I try to "open in finder" any of the presets already in lightroom but it is not allowing me to do this. Please help! I have several lightroom presets I need to install. I must be missing something.

    Next time, see here for file locations.
