Folders and hierarchies

You can organize them as you see fit; right-click or Ctrl+click to open the presets popup menu to create a New Folder or rename an existing folder. You can drag and drop to rearrange presets in the list. (In all cases, the default folders and presets cannot be modified.)

Video presets

Lightroom 4 has a new set of default presets designed for editing videos.

Updating Develop presets

Update with Current Settings: replaces all the settings in the selected preset with all the current Develop settings. It’s not possible to update individual settings within an existing preset; you’d need to make a new one. Adjustments that were not saved in the original preset will not be added to the preset when you update it. Check your current settings carefully before updating a preset; otherwise, you might inadvertently modify the preset adjustments with values you didn’t intend.

Restore default presets

In Preferences➔Presets there are buttons, some of them new in Lightroom 4, to restore most types of default presets. Options for restoring presets can also be found on some menus, such as local adjustments.

Deleting presets

Delete or Delete Folder: immediately removes the preset from the list and deletes it from the Lightroom presets folder. You can’t delete the default Lightroom Presets.

You’ll get no confirmation when deleting presets and preset folders

Be forewarned that when you select Delete or Delete Folder from the presets contextual menu you will not get a confirmation dialog—the preset files will be deleted from disk immediately. They do not go to the trash or recycle bin! (Deleting presets or preset folders is undoable within the current program session, but if you quit Lightroom, those deleted presets will be gone forever.)

Find the presets folder on your hard disk

To show the Lightroom presets folder in Finder or Explorer, go to Preferences➔Presets➔Show Lightroom Presets Folder (see Figure 4–114).
