Lightroom Presets Troubleshooting Guide - possible issues and their solutions!

Preset Download Issues:

1. If the download fails, try another Internet browser.
2. Do not select "open" the file after downloading.  Click Save to close the dialog box.  Then open the Windows Explorer window and find the zip file that will most likely be found in the download folder.  Follow the instructions in the video tutorial or cheat sheet below to extract the file.
3. Can't unpack?  If right-clicking on a zip file on a PC does not result in "extracting the file", then you need to download and unzip an external program.  I suggest you try WinRAR, a free program for unpacking files.

Are Your Presets Not Showing Up in Lightroom?

1. Try turning off Lightroom and then restarting it.
2. If the name of the preset collection is displayed in Lightroom and individual presets are not visible, click on the triangle to the left of the collection name to open the template.
3. Make sure that the folder you copied to the Preset Development folder actually contains presets, and is not a separate folder.
4. Make sure that you have copied the correct presets to the correct folder.
5. Do not check the box "Save presets in the catalog".You can find this setting on the left side of the settings menu "Show folder with Lightroom presets".  If you have multiple directories, the preset is not displayed in these additional directories.
6. Make sure you have extracted the Zip file.  You can access the presets by simply double-clicking on the folder (on your computer), but they are not extracted files, they are incorrectly copied/pasted and are not displayed in Lightroom.
