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.
Cheers, E.

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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I am thinking about purchasing the CC for Photography monthly plan. Will I be able to use Lightroom Presets that I have already purchased previously?

    I have Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS2. I am thinking about getting the monthly plann for CC. I just wanted to know if I can use all the Lightroom Presets and Photoshop Actions that I have already purchased?

    Yes, they will transfer across to the new version of Lr when you install it.

  • Unable to see D800 raw files - using Lightroom 3.6 & CS4

    Hi,
    I have just purchased a Nikon D800 and I am unable to see the .NEF files within either Lightroom 3.6 or CS4. Can anyone help me? I have read on other forums that you need to install ACR6.7 but those users were all using newer versions of software.  I have downloaded ACR 6.7 - are my programme versions compatible and will LR & Bridge pick up the new version automaticaaly or do I need to do anything? I am running Windows 7.
    I'm not sure if this will make any difference but within my camera menu I chose NEF (RAW) recording to be Lossless Compressed.
    Thanks
    Jo

    ACR 6.7 can only be used with PS CS5. You will have to use one of the following options.
    1. Use the latest Adobe DNG converter 6.7 to convert your .NEF files to dng (retain a copy of the .NEF's) then you can import into LR 3.6.
    2. Consider upgrading to LR 4, you can download the LR 4.1 RC2 and run for the trial period untill the Final LR 4.1 is released.

  • Why Process 2003 when using Lightroom-Preset on Import?

    Hi,
    When I choose one of the predefined sharpening presets ("Sharpening - Narrow Edges (Scenic)" or "Sharpening - Wide Edges (Faces)") on import, then my process version gets set to 2003. When I choose "None" for the preset, then the process is 2010. When I choose one of these presets after import then the process remains at 2010. I did not try other presets yet. This seems to be independent from the catalog, I also tried this in a newly created catalog.
    Since these presets are predefined I cannot even update them with the new process version.
    Does anybody have the same experience? Seems like a bug to me.
    Thanks, Robert

  • How do I apply a preset to multiple photos at once using Lightroom CC

    This is a feature I used to use a lot within Lightroom 5, in the grid view, I used to select all the photos I wanted to apply it to, right click, Develop, then find my preset and apply it.
    This seems to either have moved or gone from Lightroom CC?
    Here's a screenshot of what I mean...
    If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
    P.S I don't want to use sync as that's not exactly what I'm after which other people have suggested.

    When you installed LR CC 2015 did you upgrade your earlier catalog? Normally everything should transfer including presets but you may need to copy from your previous version if third party presets have not installed.
    From LR CC 2015 click the menu:
    Lightroom >> Preferences >> Presets (tab)
    To show the system location click the button “Show Lightroom Presets Folder”
    You can then double-click on Lightroom and again on Develop Presets. Drag your Kellie Hatcher folder into Develop Presets.
    On Mac the default location is usually:
    Macintosh HD\Users\User Name\Library\Application Support\Adobe\Lightroom
    Windows – go to:
    Edit >> Preferences >> Presets (tab)
    Default location:
    C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom

  • I'm using Lightroom cc, I'm trying to create a develop preset. I'm making changes to one photo that I want to apply to many other photos, one of the changes is to blur the background using the adjustment brush. When I am blurring I am going over the photo

    I'm using Lightroom cc, I'm trying to create a develop preset. I'm making changes to one photo that I want to apply to many other photos, one of the changes is to blur the background using the adjustment brush. When I am blurring I am going over the photo several times, when I go to create the preset the adjustment brush is not an option to check. How do I add the adjustment brush to the develop presets. Thanks Ron.

    The adjustment brush cannot be added to a develop preset.
    If you can replace the adjustment brush with a gradient filter or radial filter, you can add those to a dev preset.
    If a gradient filter or radial filter is not an option for you, you can at least create an adjustment preset to remember your brush settings.

  • With the left panel, trying to use the Presets, in the tutorial to the left of the commands there are square icons, for example "Lightroom B

    With the left panel, trying to use the Presets, in the tutorial to the left of the commands there are square icons, for example “Lightroom B & W Presets”. On my program they are arrowheads pointing to the right. When I click on any Preset, it does not work.
    Also, Right Panel, Color, White Balance, “As Shot” only has 2 options (auto & custom) vs. tutorial that has 9 options.

    You are not supposed to connect a pair of speakers(as in left and right in a stereo pair)to two separate out jacks on the sound card.the place on the card where headphones/speakers with the mini jack goes is the right place.

  • Images printing too small using Lightroom

    I have an image that is 316x x 2317 pixels that I am printing using Lightroom 2.3 on Windows XP SP2. I use the Picture Package and add one 4x6 image to the sheet. I am using the Maximize template from the browser. The photo borders are minimum. The image nearly fills the page in the Lightroom viewer just as I expect. The image appears the same in Print Preview. However on my Epson 3800 the image prints about 30% smaller and offset to one corner of the 4x6 sheet.
    The problem also occurs when printing from Photoshop CS4.
    I am not scaling or resizing in the print driver. I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer using the latest driver.
    Please help!!
    Michael

    Oh my...
    It seems that, embarrasingly I was tripple checking everything for 4x6 prints but actually had 5x7 loaded in the printer!
    Thanks for helping the hopeless.

  • Using lightroom 5.7.1 not all the meta-information is copied when exporting pictures

    using lightroom 5.7.1 not all the meta-information is copied when exporting pictures: city and country are not copied, although this information appears if i open the original file in photoshop. if i export this file via lightroom, the information dissappears.
    does anyone know how to solve this problem?

    thank you!
    although i did not change anything updating from lightroom3 to lightroom5, this box was automatically checked in all presets. now i unchecked it and everything works fine.

  • Can't open RAW file when moved from Lightroom to Photoshop CS4

    I have a Canon 6D and recently purchased Lightroom 4.4 so that I could open my Canon RAW files. They do open in Lightroom, but when I move them to PHotoshop CS4 I can't open the files. I get a message telling me I can't open them. Any suggestions?

    I don't know Macs so can't give you advice if CS6 will run on your Mac.
    But since you have Lr5 you won't need to open Raw images in Photoshop. Lr5 gives you all the Raw editing capabilities that you need. I don't think CS6 will add anything to Raw editing capabilities that Lr5 doesn't have - although I don't know CS6 since I am still working with CS5.
    You still can send images from Lr5 to CS4 for editing but you have to select <Render using Lightroom> in the dialog that says that the "Camera raw plug-in 8.1 may be required   ...". BTW: what this means is that the Camera raw plug-in 8.1 is required for Photoshop, not for Lr.
    When you select <Render using Lightroom> Lr will create a TIFF / PSD from the Raw image and send it to CS4 for editing.
    If you had CS6 Lr would send the Raw image to CS6 but on saving the edits in CS6 a TIFF / PSD would be created.
    The only drawback with using CS4 is that the options <Merge to Panorama ...>, <Merge to HDR ...>, and <Open as layers> will be greyed-out and are not available.
    If instead of selecting  <Render using Lightroom> in the dialog box you would select <Open anyway>, nothing would happen. CS4 would open but the image would not be displayed in CS4.

  • Import using develop presets won't work!

    Hi all,
    I just upgraded from LR2 to LR3. A lot to hate in this new version. But I suppose one needs to adjust and no doubt I will, but there is one thing that is about to drive me up the wall. Something I haven't been able to fix, so here I am, looking for a bit of help.
    Here's the problem:
    Because I don't like Lightroom's Sharpening & Noise Reduction settings, I used a preset in LR2 that I applied automatically when importing my images into LR. Now, with Lightroom 3 this just won't work properly and I get exclamation marks, indicating those images are not in the 2010 develop environment. I realised I was using my old presets, created in LR2, so that made sense. So I first deleted all my old presets and to make sure, I also deleted my metadata preset that I also apply on import. I couldn't find a way to delete those presets from within Lightroom by the way. So I just went to the library and trashed them manually...
    Next:
    I open LR3. Now I have no user presets anymore, of any kind. I then import the first image of today's shoot. In the develop module I make sure that I'm working in the 2010 process environment. I set Sharpening and Noise Reduction to what I want them to be and make them a preset. Then I made another preset for my metadata. But after importing the rest of today's shoot with the presets I have just created, it will not accept the 2010 settings and I get the exclamation mark with every image. I have checked that the culprit is not the metadata file. If I use only that to import an image and leave the Develop Settings on None, all is well, and the image is regarded as being in the 2010 process state. If I then *manually* apply my earlier created Noise Reduction/Sharpening preset, it accepts it and all is well. But as soon as I try to apply that same preset again when importing my images, then, when I go to the develop module, the image is suddenly in the 2003 environment again and I get the exclamation marks. I have tried everything I can think of but I cannot escape it any longer: I have been defeated by Lightroom 3. What on earth am I doing wrong here? Anybody?

    Yes, I get the same thing with the sliders being greyed out. Funny thing is that the sliders *are* set exactly as in my preset and when I click 'yes update' to 2010 standards, the settings don't change but only the sliders become accessible. The thing is that I really don't want to be doing that with every import, even if you can do the whole batch at once. What I don't understand is that when I import with the preset turned off and apply it in Lightroom's Develop Module, it accepts it without a problem but that when I use the same preset on import, it won't work properly.
    Now what the poster in the other thread said was:
    "When I saved a new preset and selected to also save the process version,  a line in the preset was created:  ProcessVersion = "5.7".  When I cut  and paste that into all my other presets then the sliders were all  active when I used them."
    I have no idea what he is talking about or how one would do that. When I create a preset I simply click the + sign and in the pop up window select what I want, give it a name and that's it.
    Edit: Sorry, I apparently overlooked the Process Version box in the preset panel! Must have been a case of not seeing the forest for the trees. Problem solved. Thanks.

  • 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.
