Lightroom Classic: I want to go back to the old version please.

Question

There is a problem with importing photos to the new version of LR. i'm getting a message that i dont have a clearance to import. i want to go back the old version.

Steve Sprengel · Answer

Usually a message about not being able to read the photos means you have not chosen a valid location to copy the photos to and are doing a Copy rather than an Add type of import.  Can you give more details about what you're doing?  Can we see a screenshot of the message?

i solved the problem.another problem.when i got the new version,all the presets that i created has bee deleted. i have to do it all over again. it is a nightmare.

Victoria Bampton · Answer

Tell us what you did Raphael? It doesn't usually 'delete presets' but they could be hidden by the Preferences > Presets > Store Presets with This Catalog checkbox.

i've been upgraded my windows to 10 and replaced my old ssd flash drive to a bigger capacity and faster.

Victoria Bampton · Answer

Ok, so did you copy the presets over to the new drive?

Raphael Sabbagh · Answer

yeap. everything is there.

Raphael Sabbagh · Answer

why cant i get the old version? i dont like this new one.it cause me inconvenience.

Ruurd van Dijk · Answer

You can. If you are sure you want that.

Victoria Bampton · Answer

Right, go to Preferences > Presets tab > Show Lightroom Develop Presets. Are there XMP format presets in that location? If yes, check Preferences > Presets tab > Show Partially Compatible Develop Presets. Are they back?If not, click the Show All Other Lightroom Presets button and look in the Develop Presets. Are your presets in there?

Raphael Sabbagh · Answer

no,for some reason,the file is empty.

Victoria Bampton · Answer

If they're not in either location, then you haven't copied them over from the old drive yet.

There's one more possibility. Find your catalog. Is there a Lightroom Settings folder next to the catalog? If so, look for both a Develop presets and a Settings folder in there, and see if either is populated.
