Hi, I recently switched my labtop (macbook), I want to export my negative pro presets from my old laptop to my new one. I’ve tried exporting Lightroom presets but it does not contain negative lab pro presets, and I didn’t find a solution online. Is there a way to back up my negative lab pro presets? I’m thinking hard copy the whole negative lab pro plugins but it looks like the preset locate at somewhere else. ---

The NLP presets are in the following folder: **On Mac:** `/ Users / { username} / Library / Application Support / Negative Lab Pro / Presets ` **On Windows:** `C: \ Users \ [username] \ AppData \ Roaming \ Negative Lab Pro \ Presets` If you want to move the presets you’ve created to another computer, you just need to copy them from the folder on your old computer and move them to the same location on your new computer. -Nate ---

Thank you for replying, however I failed to find “Negative Lab Pro” under “Application Support”. I did found “Adobe” folder and located several Negative Lab Pro official presets but none of my User Presets are there. ---

Nvm, I found it. The “Library” folder is hidden in MacOS, I previously located to a wrong one. ---

@nate Hi! I do not see the folder Negative Lab Pro within C: \ Users \ [username] \ AppData \ Roaming And I do have hidden items/folders visible, so I can navigate into Roaming and see subfolders. Is there another location that I can find my NLP presets? All of my other regular LR folders seem to be in normal locations. LR presets are where you would expect. I am looking to back them up before wiping my hard drive and reinstalling windows. Thanks! ---

I’m wondering if the edit presets I have modified -in other words an edit of a NLP preset( NLP lab,Kodak Gold, Superia ) can be saved. Also in NLP what are the LUTS ,what kind of lut file ? MY NLP says "can’t find LUT folder. _Thanks_, everyone . ---

> [@Fred\_EL2](#): > > MY NLP says "can’t find LUT folder. Make sure you have not hidden the NLP Presets on the left pane… if you do this, the system won’t be able to use the LUT files, which are able to provide very precise adjustments to Hue, Saturation and Luminance levels in ways that are difficult to do otherwise. > [@Fred\_EL2](#): > > I’m wondering if the edit presets I have modified -in other words an edit of a NLP preset( NLP lab,Kodak Gold, Superia ) can be saved. Yes, they can be saved. If you want edit “NLP Standard”, just make your edits and then click the preset dropdown and select “Update NLP Standard” - you could also select “Create New Preset” and create your own, like “Fred Standard”. ---
