Comments on: Friday Tip – Creating Folders for Presets http://lightroomkillertips.com/2008/friday-tip-creating-folders-for-presets/ Online Photoshop Lightroom Tutorials and Tips with Matt Kloskowski Sun, 14 Mar 2010 18:56:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: swankFoto http://lightroomkillertips.com/2008/friday-tip-creating-folders-for-presets/comment-page-1/#comment-2192 swankFoto Wed, 12 Nov 2008 17:41:49 +0000 http://www.lightroomkillertips.com/2008/friday-tip-creating-folders-for-presets/#comment-2192 This is fine and dandy but it doesn't organize the Develop presets fly-out that you see when right-clicking on a photo in the Library module. It should mirror the preset organization folders that this Tip descirbes. Right now they are show in a flattened list. Like a lot of people, I have many presets installed and I have to scroll the list to get at my most used presets. I'm surprised that this UAT defect got passed LR1 beta and release, LR2 beta and release QA. This needs fixed in LR2.2 IMO. Matt can you help us on this one? ;) This is fine and dandy but it doesn’t organize the Develop presets fly-out that you see when right-clicking on a photo in the Library module.

Just make sure to relaunch Lightroom for the changes to take place. You can also move them on a MAC

Just to make a more-than-one-level hierarchy of them? Like this: Prestes --> Matt's |--> Vintage |--> preset1 |--> preset2 |--> Another fantastic group |--> preset3 |--> preset4 --> BW |--> Group2 Tried to do that in Windows XP Explorer, but it didn't worked. Hi Matt,

Is there any option (I’m almost sure that there’s not….) to put folder of presets inside the another folder? Just to make a more-than-one-level hierarchy of them?

Like this:

Prestes
–> Matt’s
|–> Vintage
|–> preset1
|–> preset2
|–> Another fantastic group
|–> preset3
|–> preset4
–> BW
|–> Group2

Tried to do that in Windows XP Explorer, but it didn’t worked.

As a sufferer of preset abuse (hey, you started it) I thought, "Finally a source for a cure" but alas it is not to be. Now I reside in the Home for the Preset Abused and I'm only allowed one access per day to the internet. I still use it to look at lightroomkillertips in hopes of satisfying my addiction ... gotta go. They're coming for me. Sorry ... I just had to go there. I'm glad the book is doing so well.

I've got about 100G of photo mostly on my pc and some on an external disk. How do I migrate over all my photos and the Lightroom catalog with out breaking the links? Can you show a video of how to do this? I assume that the best thing to do is to move my photos and catalog all over to the external disk ( I already to that as a back up, but I've never tried to use that backup) and run the Lightroom from a catalog and photo directory on that external disk. Then I should be able to access that same disk from a Mac. Also if you could comment on disk management. Most internal disk drives are in the 100-250 G size. Shooting raw can quick eat up that disk. Thanks. Your blog is awesome! I look forward to your video on the next step in folder / photo management. Matt,

I have beome a preset junkie. I ahve an idea for you and a future avenue for preset type of uploads you could create using photoshop and light room. I saw a magazine add that had a great landscape and they had created a window frame overlay to make it look like you were looking out your kitchen window, I wondered if I could recreat that in photoshop and I made a overlay mask. It worked OK (my skills are not as refined as the Photoshop guru's). I then saw your tip on printing on a black background and thoutht that may be I could use this mask in Lightroom as a ID template. I works. I can quickly in the print module try a bunch of photos with my kitchen window as an overlay. You could create different ovelays, frames, borders each week. I put an example on my gallery at NAPP http://www.photoshopuser.com/members/portfolios/view/image/117600 Keep up the great work. Joe Hey Matt,

I was amazed at how fast and easy it was to use my presets to process the smoke. I was able to use two of your presets on what I consider my faves. Check out your Burnt Tone Preset here http://scottosmith.com/2008/03/12/fire-dragon/ Check out your cross process preset here http://www.flickr.com/photos/desertboy/2324837701/in/set-72157604093434539/ Matt,
