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...

Lightroom 6 doesn't migrate Export User Presets from LR5

Tonight I upgraded from LR5 to LR6 (standalone, not CC). My catalog migrated successfully and generally the library and develop modules seem to work fine. But when I go to export, all my User Presets are gone. Any advice on how I can recover my export user presets so that I don't have to manually recreate them all? I'm on a Late 2012 Mac Mini, 2.6/i7/16GB, OS X 10.9.5.

Export and import user presets

How to import metadata user presets from another Lightroom catalog?

Metadata presets are stored in folder inside of your user settings. Depending upon your operating system, this location may vary.

It is as simple as copying them.

Copying user presets to other computer

We use FCP and STP in our broadcastin company for video- and soundediting. Earlier the sound has been processed on another computer, and have found the perfect presets for our voiceover. Now we would need to copy STP:s user presets from one computer to another (G5), so that I also could do the compressing. How should we proceed to do this? Weve tried to find the presets in STPs documents and copying projects and so forth, but havent managed to get the user presets copied...

I suspect that you are talking about copying a query to another DB (or local system)... - Daniel correctly stated that the queries are stored in the DB - no need to copy a query from one PC to another when you are working on the same DB / server.
DI API has an object UserQueries that you can use for that purpose (which actually is also used by the Copy Express SAP Add-On).

User Presets in Lightroom?

I currently have Lightroom 2 and am thinking of purchasing Lightroom 3. Can I transfer my user presets from Lightroom 2 to Lightroom 3?
Also, does it matter that I'm switching to mac from PC when transferring my catalogues etc.?

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.

How to remove "Blue filter" from multiple images in the History Panel

I am using Lightroom 4.3 on Windows 7 pc. I have a collection with approximately 650 images. I was working in the collection and had all the images selected. Somehow I inadvertently must have hit a keyboard shortcut that effected all the images. All of the images are negatively effected and they now look terrible. When I go to the History Panel, all the images have "blue filter" as their most recent entry. If I select one image and go back to the step before the "blue filter" everything looks fine again. My problem is I have this effect in 650 images. When I try and do the change in one image and then synch to the rest, I don't know what box to check to remove this "blue filter" that has been added to all the images. I know I can do them one by one, but with 650 images, it's a long and tedious process. Any way I can remove the "blue filter" from multiple images in a collection?
Thanks,
Matthew Kraus

If you’ve just done it, then an Undo operation would reverse things on all the images, I think. But if it took you a while to see the problem, then you might have done something to cancel the undoability.
Isn’t Blue Filter a built in LR preset that modifies the HSL settings: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/924/cpsid_92473.html
Open the HSL panel and step back into History on one of the affected images so the effect of the Blue Filter preset has been undone and notice what HSL sliders change, and then if the 650 images DON’T already have any HSL adjustments you should be able to sync JUST the pre-Blue-Filter HSL adjustments (perhaps all zeros) to the other 650 images.

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 removed from right-click menu? Why???

I updated to LR CC 2015 yesterday and it appears that User Presets are no longer available in the right-click menu under Develop Settings. Am I missing something? Why in the world would they do this? I am used to being able to grab a series of exposures for an HDR and apply a pre-export preset before sending them to Photomatix Pro. I don't want to do this on import, because I shoot a mix of single exposures and bracketed sets, and I use different pre-Photomatix settings depending on the type of image and the style I'm going for in the final result. Without the right-click option (which was already causing issues in 5.7), I now have to move my cursor over to my presets on the left side of the screen, apply the desired preset to the selected image, then move all the way across the screen to Sync the rest of the highlighted exposures, then go back to the right-click menu to export them to Photomatix. What a complete pain. The new HDR merge is nice for doing very natural HDRs of static subjects like architectural interiors, but it falls far short of the versatility and look of Photomatix Pro, and the deghosting is woefully inadequate compared to the robust options available in PP. And, frankly, the whole program runs a whole lot slower than 5.7 did. I'm feeling like my subscription was a huge waste of money.

Metadata View User Presets NOT Plugin Author Tagsets

Sorry, but I really don't like how the metadata viewing options work.
Metadata viewing presets should be definable by users, instead of the plugin author defining tagsets.
In my opinion, plugin authors should be able to give structure to their metadata, but its the users that should decide which of it they want to see with what...
For example, a plugin author can't define a tagset that includes all the adobe standard metadata, plus whatever the user wants from other plugins, plus his/her stuff with some structure - nor can the user.
Maybe just have the different sections of metadata be collapsible, just like the top level items in the panel, then we'd hardly need tagset/presets at all, just collapse the ones you want out of your way...
Maybe user tagset/presets just exclude some items that aren't of interest, to keep it a little cleaner, rather than plugin authors having to specifically include stuff, and that being the only way to structure the metadata that's presented.

Oh yes, I would find that very useful, too.

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.

Apply user preset to a batch of user

How to apply a specific user preset to a batch of photos in Grid mode in Library section ... this option aren't present.

It's the same number of mouse clicks to invoke from the right-click menu or from the Quick Develop panel. You can collapse the Quick Develop panel to save space, and the presets dropdown will still be visible.

I want to expand the size of the history panel

I just upgraded to v. 34 from v. 17.0.1. In the old version, I could open History as a full panel, and see the sites and dates in chronological order. Now, although I have the "View > By date and site" option selected, I see only the sites. Also, when I try to expand the size of the History panel by pausing the cursor over the edge, the double-arrow icon does nothing.

There is a minimum (min-width: 14em;) and maximum (max-width: 36em;) for the sidebar and you can't drag the resizer icon beyond that limit.
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#sidebar { min-width:0px !important; max-width:none !important; }
</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
*Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
*Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
*Make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
*Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css. Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file

How do you know if users have a history of marking answers?

In Stack Overflow, you can easily see if a user is going to acknowledge your help by looking at their acceptance rate. I am finding it frustrating, however, that my answers on the Adobe forums are often ignored in favor of answers I feel are leading the user in a wrong direction, simply because the other person giving an answer had more red "bars" under their name.
I have helped many users, and many of them have come back and thanked me. However, none have marked my answers as correct or even helpful. I would like to concentrate on helping users who are willing to mark answers as correct or helpful, so that those bars reflect the amount of help I am actually giving. Where can I look to find out which users have a history of marking answers?
Thanks;
Amy

Hi, Amy. I'm not sure why I'm persisting in this, but:
This thread seems to have wandered off a bit. Just so it's clear, I was asking a technical question (how to see who does and does not mark answers as correct)
That wasn't clear...just to be clear in return:
This forum provides no summary reporting of a user's marking of answers.
However, if you are truly inspired, there are some things you can do.
If you look at a user's page, under Stuff > Discussions, you will find a tabulation of the threads started by that user. E.g: http://forums.adobe.com/people/Amy%20Blankenship?view=discussions
Those are, of course, the only threads that a user could have awarded points in. The tabulation shows which threads are designated as Answered () and which are not (). Whether a user marks a question as Answered is not the same as whether they award points, but I think you will find that there is a reasonable correlation.
If you are even more interested, a script to open all those threads and determine whether they have offered Helpful or Correct answer designations is not very difficult, if you are experienced at writing tools that scrape web pages. Given that most users have less than 100 threads, it is probably not a violation of this site's terms of service (either implicitly or explicitly) to suck down those threads in an automated fashion, and certainly should have no appreciable effect on the server (a question one should always ask when considering automated retreival of data from someone's web server).
So, to summarize: I) This forum software does not keep a running total of this information that is available to us II) You can get a pretty good proxy for it by taking a quick look III) You could write a simple script to calculate it for you with a little bit of work.
Also, there is a moral hazard: Users who do not mark answers as Correct or Helpful are no less deserving of help than those that do. Many are unfamiliar with the cultural/social protocols of this site, and that should not be held against them. That is, however, merely my opinion, and certaily it is arguable.

How do I change the folder that Photoshop gets my presets from?

First and foremost, I'm using Photoshop CS6, and I'm running Windows 7. I have a boatload of presets (brushes, styles, custom shapes, et cetera). I'm currently running Photoshop from a second, internal hard drive which has more space. Currently, Photoshop gets my presets from C:/Users/[nameredacted]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets. But all of the presets I've acquired are in E:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets. I need Photoshop to point there.
How do I do that? Thank you in advance!

Get a bigger hard drive. They're laughably cheap these days.
Whatever you do, don't point Photoshop to a secondary or additional plug-ins/presets folder. Ever since CS6 was released that can totally cripple Photoshop; just do a forum search.

Does CS5 enable the history panel in code view?

I saw an old thread from last year (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1038491#1038491) where people confirmed that the history panel is only enabled in "design view", and is disabled in "code view". I'm wondering whether that feature has been changed in CS5. Does anybody know?
The reason I'm wondering is I'm trying to create keyboard shortcuts to quickly comment code (either /* */, or //) and remove comments. I know there's a button available on the toolbar that will add a /* */ comment, so getting a keyboard shortcut for that isn't such a big deal, but I'd really like a way to remove comments that's faster than right-clicking on a text selection to bring up the context menu, go down to "Selection >", and click on "Remove Comment". From what I've read, it seems like the best way to make a keyboard shortcut for that would be to select some text and do "Remove Comment" through the context menu, then create a macro/command using the history panel, and finally assign a keyboard shortcut to that command. However, this doesn't seem possible since for me the history panel is disabled when I'm in code view (in Dreamweaver 8).
If anyone has a better solution to my real question, of how to create a keyboard shortcut to remove comments from code, I'd be very grateful to hear it!

Wow, I didn't even realize that button to remove coding was there. I was looking at the /* */ button on the PHP tab of the Insert toolbar, and trying to find another button there that would remove comments, and didn't realize there already was one on the coding toolbar. That's perfect, thanks a lot! And thank you also for the info on the CS5 history panel.
