Import presets

Operating System

1. macOS 10.15 Catalina

I rarely open files using ACR. I created a new import preset using the new ISO Adaptive option LR. I decided to open a file using ACR and it did not apply that preset. I checked ACR preferences and my new preset was not there and I deleted these presets in LR long ago. I thought these days LR and PS worked together automatically. I know it worked when I used the old Default Develop method.

Lightroom and ACR share the same develop (not import) presets. Your screenshot shows that ACR is not using a custom preset, but the camera settings. That doesn't mean anything however, because we can't see what Lightroom uses and we don't know how you called your new preset.

I thought develop presets where gone as in using the Develop Default Presets to set it up. Here is LR and called R Adaptive.

 

[Johan Elzenga]

Develop presets are still develop presets. Camera defaults are gone. They were replaced by a default develop preset as shown in your screenshots. An import preset is something else. It's a preset that stores settings of the import dialog, such as the destination folder. You set/select them at the bottom center of the import dialog.

I noticed that in Lightroom you have 'Show serial numbers' checked, which means you have a setting for a Canon EOS R camera with a specific serial number. Do you have more than one EOS R camera? If not, setting the default by serial bumber does not make a lot of sense. In ACR you did not check this option, so here you have a preset that applies to every Canon EOS R camera. Maybe that explains the difference. Your ACR screenshot shows the contents of the User Presets groups, but that 'R Adaptive' preset may be stored in another group.

You've got store presets with catalog checked, so ACR doesn't have access to the preset.

Good catch! Don't do this unless you have a clear reason to do it.

Thanks everyone.

Should I move the ones stored with the catalogue?

 

[Johan Elzenga]

Yes. If you uncheck the option to store the presets with the catalog, then Lightroom will start using the ones in the CameraRaw/Settings folder again. It will not move any custom presets you made in Lightroom however, so you will have to do that manually.

 

[Zenon]

Thanks. Already unchecked.

 

[Zenon]

I re-started LR/PS and since unchecking the old presets showed up in LR which I deleted.

Thanks again.
