I am moving my Lightroom and other apps to a new desktop. I am assuming that if I replace the Develop Preset folder that Lightroom generates on the new machine with the one that I copied from my old machine that it should be a straight forward replace operation - 1. Copy Develop Preset folder on old computer to a thumb drive. 2. Delete Develop Preset folder that Lightroom created on the new machine - it doesn't seem to have anything in it (file is empty). 3. Copy "old" Develop Preset folder from the thumb drive to the appropriate folder on the new computer.
When I start Lightroom, all of my previous Develop Presets should be present on the new computer.
What I need to know is whether or not there are any problems with this process - any "gotchas" in moving the Develop Preset folder off the old computer and replacing the Develop preset folder created by Lightroom on the new computer with the one from the old computer.
Can I assume that a similar process works for any of the other folders in the Lightroom folder on the old computer that I will copy to the new computer's Lightroom folder -
C: \ Users \ [my username] \ AppData \ Roaming \ Adobe \ Lightroom \ .
Any insight that anyone can provide for this process will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
