I tried to follow the folder tree to where the presets were located for a PC however I am running Vista on the laptop, So the tree you showed didn’t work for me so for those who are running Vista, this is where the presets are stored.
Explorer>username>AppData>Roaming>Adobe>Lightroom>Develop Presets>User Presets

Hope this helps

Matt
This is great to know as I was wondering about this stuff as I recently, (last week) just purchased a new laptop and I was also wondering about how to transfer 3000+ images I have cataloged in Lightroom on my desktop machine and transfering to my laptop.
I have a 250 Gb external drive which I use for backing up my photos during the import into lightroom from the Compact Flash card.
Where do I find all the files with images I have worked on in the develop module so that Data can be backed up and then downloaded onto the laptop and then correspond with those pictures.
Your help is appreciated

Good tip – but I notice you’ve got l;ots of presets. Under ‘Develop Presets’ you can create folders and sort your presets at that level. I have Matts preset in one folder – soon to be subdivided, there’s so many. Then I have ‘My presets’, and some others – all in different folders. Much less scrolling….

Rocking the Houseski,

The way there is Scott Kelby’s book Photoshop For Digital Photographers, I would like to see a general Photoshop book in the same style possibly called Photoshop for Digital Designers or whatever name, you get my point. It should be written by you and Scott Kelby together. It will cover the entire other side of the fence on Photoshop and be a great book. I would also like to see Corey Barker write a vol2 of the The Photoshop Classic Effects book (I know he didn’t do the part 1). When is Scott Kelby going to release his CS3 version of the Down & Dirty Tricks book? I would like there to be an Illustrator Killer Tips podcast by you or Corey Barker. Looking forward to seeing these things soon.

Hey Matt,

First off, and most importantly – I just got home from work to find an autographed copy of the new book in my stack of mail. Thanks again, the autographing of people’s orders is a very nice touch, and I am super glad to have one of the signed books. Haven’t had a chance to check the book out, but I am sure its going to be great.

I agree with the above comment about a video/tip on how to use Lightroom to create a camera setting for each of your individual cameras. I have done parametric tests on all my film/camera combonations (Im a grad school geek), I would love to have this type of control with my digitals…. I have seen stuff around the web using complex actions and scripts and all that, any of you guys from the photoshop/lightroom crew have an easy way to do it???

Anyway, thanks for everything, and I am very grateful for all that you do in the imaging world.

Hi Matt!
I really enjoy your videos since they light up new features that I havn’t discovered on my own yet, and probably never would have…

But there is one thing that bothers me:
When I whant to edit a photo in Photoshop via Lightroom (this is for both JPEG and RAW) I can only choose to edit as TIFF or PSD.
I perfectly understand why the option is TIFF and not JPEG, but is there a way to open the photo as a smart object, so that one can return to the RAWconverting at a later time?

If there is no way, do you have any idea why?
For me it seems unnecesary to use Bridge if the only other Adobe applications used are PS and Lightroom, but since the smart object option isn’t available via Lightroom I have to find the photo via Bridge, PS or finder/explorer…

I hope you can decipher my lousy english.

Please, if you have an answer, send it to my email [Jidder.fk.se(at)gmail.com], since I mostly only watch the videos and don’t come here that often.

Many thanks in advance,
Hampus Haara
