Saved user presets in "drummer"

Hi
a few but not all saved "user presets "have disappeared in the "drummer" folders
anyone else experienced this??
thanks

Ans 1 - The User Presets folder is shared across all versions of Lightroom, so there's normally no reason why you would need to do anything after an upgrade.
Ans 2 - Yes, moving from one OS to another means you have a few hurdles to jump. Install Lr3 on your Mac then copy the Catalog and Previews across to the Mac. When you launch Lr3 on the Mac it will create an new default Template/Preset folder named "Lightroom" at /Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Adobe/ Next, copy the entire Lightroom Template/Preset folder from the PC to the Mac, thus replacing the original. Relaunch Lr3 and the old presets should now be accessible.

User Presets not saved correctly

I am trying to set up specific 3 User Presets to export files to a given file location.
But when I return to user presets LR only shows *one* of the 3 locations used and that is set against each of the 3 presets.
Q: This looks like a bug, as I cannot seem to save the different file locations to a different user preset... or am I doing something wrong ?
(LR 5.6 on Mac OS 10.9)

Even I try to Right Click the preset and use the UPDATE WITH CURRENT SETTINGS, this is not working.
I'm really puzzled by this.

Effects plug-ins, and user preset weirdness

Here's a headache for you.
I've noticed that when using VST/DX effects in Audition that it adds its very own load/save preset bar to whatever effects application is in use, and that when saving presets with this quick access bar that it doesn't appear to save the presets anywhere within said efx plug-in's program directory.
The end result is that user created presets saved in this way won't show up using said plug-ins in any other audio editing program.
Audition manages to associate the proper user presets with their respective plug-ins, which leads me to believe it's saving the information in specific files/directories pertaining to each plugin.
I've rooted around a bit in Audition's program directories and so far have come up with no helpful leads.
This leads me to my question: where the hell Audition is saving these presets on the hard drive?

Tell me, have you noticed AA not saving your VST/DX plugin settings from session to session? That is, it resets itself to a "default" setting when you exit the session and when you return to the session your effect settings are no longer in the state you left them, but in a "default" state.
(This doesn't occur in any Pro Tools or Acid Pro, both of which "remember" the state in which I left them...)
Your observation of AA adding its own preset bar is interesting. Pro Tools and Acid don't do that. I wonder if that has anything to do with the issue I described...?

Import Saved Document Presets from older PS to PS CC 2014

Is there a way to import saved document presets from older versions of Photoshop into Photoshop CC 2014? I have a fair amount of document presets I use almost daily and it'd be a pain to have to enter all of them again to save them.

If you create an action set with just the one action and save the set upload the uploade it to the web and post a link to the .atn file we can download the action and test that on our machines. You will get feedback from both Mac and PC users. It sound odd that it would work once then fail the second time. Was Photoshop CC 2014 up before you used bridge menu tools>photoshop>batch the first time or was Photoshop started because you used tools>photoshop>batch. If is was not up did you try closing PS down before the second batch?

Error loading/saving PDF presets

Error loading/saving pdf presets
I am using CS4 and Windows 7. I have a .joboptions file I want to load in InDesign, but when I try, I get the error message: Cannot create the file. The folder may be write protected.
I am a local administrator on the computer.
I have tried manually copying the .joboptions file into the folder C:\Users\<my profile>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings, but it doesn’t show up in the list of available presets.
I used the same version of InDesign with Windows XP and was able to load and save presets this way just fine.

Thank for the tip. But unfortunately it is only a partial solution.
When I 'run as administrator' in Windows 7 I have no problems, that is a bit of a solution, but for me it is a mere workaround.
I want to find out how I can load and save PDF export settings without running as Adminstrator, since we have 7 people using the presets and they don't want to run InDesign everytime as an Administrator.
I have all the rights (local admin) to all folders, therefore I was hoping somebody already fixed this in his/her system...
Hope Adobe comes up with some sort of solution for this apperently Windows 7 problem.

User Presets for Exporting Files

I want to create a user preset for exporting full size jpegs to a folder to be named later. Whenever I try and save it Lightroom defaults to email. How can I resolve this?
Here are my settings:
Lightroom 4.2
export to hard drive
choose folder later
jpeg format
Adobe RGB
quality=95
Thanks

So, where is the emailing part coming in? Is it not being saved with 'Hard Disk' as the export service ('Export To' field in Export Dialog Box). Or is it being saved OK, but then when you go to use it the problem presents.
Feel free to post the contents of the associated .lrtemplate file in the body of your next post. (hint: 'Show Lightroom Presets Folder' button in Lr preferences dialog box).

Store Print Output config in user presets

Hi, I use the 'print to jpg' option to prepare shots for submitting for external printing, and save the different output formats in user templates (e.g. '8x12 with 3mm border'). BUT, the user template does not seem to store the jpg ouput details - this means I always have to manually set the output file size etc.
Could this please be saved in the user presets too?

Hi
Check This table T685B and this view VN_T685B for output ..

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.

Saving Custom Preset "Administrator Error"

Hello Everyone.
I am trying to save a Custom Preset. I have created a new folder Inside Preset Folder for my custom presets. Also, I have selected the Effect and I click on Create a new Animation Preset. I get this Error message:
You do not have a Permission to save in this folder, contact the Administrator to obtain permission.
I have Window 8.1
Thanks.

Dear Mylenium.
I have tried saving the Preset in any folder, I still get the same Error. I created a custom folder in my presets and I got the error message, If i tried saving it outside the Presets folder After Effects gave me a Warning that
It would be better not to save outside the presets folder. I have Window 8.1.
As far as Permission, I don't know how to change the settings.
Thanks..
UPDATED:
I noticed The Error message telling me that Do you want to save it in the Computer/C:/Users/ Username.
and If I say yes, I can save the custom preset into my username folder which is wrong.
I did go back to After Effects, and I created a new movie clip and I Browsed to my username folder and I could attach the custom preset from the user folder into my after effects video. But I want to be able to save my custom preset in my After Effects Preset folder not In my C:/Username/ User folder
Thanks.

Apple Configurator - Updating to iOS 6.1.2 removed saved user data

We are currently managing several classroom sets of iPads using Apple Configurator. When updating to iOS 6.1.2 on the Supervise tab, about two-thirds of one classroom (about 20 iPads) and another 4 out of 6 in a special education classroom lost all previously saved data (application data, documents, pictures, etc.) during the update. We have another classroom that updated approximately 30 iPads following the same exact steps using the same configurator computer and none were erased so we're having a hard time figuring out the issue.
When I was watching the configurator run through the status updates during the iOS update (e.g. downloading iOS, decompressing iOS, installing iOS) there was another step on the iPads that lost data which was "supervising device." All of the iPads were already supervised so I don't know why this step occurred or what caused it to happen. With the grouping of 6 iPads, the 4 that were erased immediately started decompressing and installing iOS while the 2 that saved user data went to the downloading iOS stage first. I wasn't monitoring the grouping of 30 as closely, but I did notice the "supervising device" stage on the iPads that lost all user data.

I think for the teachers you are going to have to tell them to copy their data off the device.
Suggest dropbox or other cloud storage. Could set up a WebDave server.
A simple and popular way to copy files.
http://wiki.dropbox.com
Could set up sync-ing so they would come back in he fall. I'd be cautios and do everythig simple.
For syncing pc or mac folders to iPad applications.
"Using SugarSync, you simply designate folders that you want to “sync” to the cloud and it keeps everything in sync anytime you make changes. This is the way cloud storage should be done and especially if you are using your iPad for buisness or for school."
The only potential downside is that so many apps for the iPhone/iPad come with Dropbox sync built in which makes it extremely convenient.

"This can be done with Dropbox as well using one of the many Dropbox addons…"

Why can't I create a new user preset?

Hi there,
I recently got Adobe Lightroom 5 - upgraded to 5.6 but I can't seem to be able to make a new user preset. I have tried re-installing the program and upgrade but nothing seems to work. I've also clicked 'create' several times with the preset named 'test' but the preset is nowhere to be found.
I was previously using Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop CS 5 but decided to switch over because I read about the ease of use of Lightroom. Would appreciate some help on this.
Kindly advise, thanks in advance!

You are talking about the forward, back, mail and trash can icons in the Notes App - correct?
I've gone through restarting it and followed the instructions from the person last week.
Have you restarted the iPad - is that what you mean? Have you quit and then restarted the app? Quit the app, and restart the iPad. It's worth a try.
Double tap the home button and your recent apps will appear at the bottom. Hold down on the Notes app icon until it begins to wiggle. Then tap the minus sign to quit the app. Then tap the screen. Now restart the iPad.
Carolyn explained this above (restart) but here it is again....
Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logos appears then let go of the button and the iPad will restart. See if that helps.

User presets from history panel

Hi there
I lost my hard drive and have reinstalled LR4 and relocated files to the external hard drive. I can see the user presets I used in the history panel but not in the User presets menu, is there any way to 'find' these to use again. I have looked but cannot find my User Presets anywhere.
Thanks
Nat

Thank you, that was the problem. They were checked as stored with catalog in LR5, but not in LR6. Once I clicked the checkbox in LR6, I found all my export user presets. Now I assume that if I subsequently uncheck that box, LR6 will create a unique file to house those presets? Does it matter if they are or are not in the catalog? I've got a decent grasp of LR's functionality, but wasn't aware of this and don't know if there are pluses or minuses with either approach...

User Presets Gone From LR4 But Show in LR5

My user presets do not appear in LR4 since I installed the LR5 Beta, but they do show up in LR5. How do I get them back into LR4?

Try this: In Preferences / Presets tab / Location either uncheck the box <Store presets with this catalog>, or check it if it is unchecked.

User presets missing.

User presets not rendering in the LR2 app. They are still in the folders though. What do I need to do to get them to show in the application again?
I realize I need to upgrade, but it's not in the budget now. Have restarted the machine to no avail.
I have not used the app in a month, but the last time I used it, the presets were all available in the drop-down menus on the develop module. ??

Have you by any chance recently selected the option on the Preferences>Presets Tab to "Store Presets with Catalog". If so, uncheck it and see if your user presets appear again. If you're not sure, toggle that switch off and on (or on and off) and see if it makes a difference (Presets will appear/disappear instantly when toggling that switch).

User presets not working after LR5 upgrade

Just updated from LR3 to LR5 and my user presets are not working. They are visible, but do not do anything when clicked. How do I fix this?

We have found the same thing. Patch 5 and 7 did not fix the problem. We even got a preliminary patch 8 that did not fix the problem.
We're still hoping for an EBF.
