[QUOTE="wornish, post: 394516, member: 15434"] Its just a bit frustrating getting to know a new OS, and it is trying to protect you. By default Finder in OSX hides the Users library folder and all the associated files to stop people doing damage without knowing what they might be doing. I think Windows 8 does similar things to protect sensitive system files. [url=http://www.osxdaily.com]OS X Daily - News and Tips for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Everything Apple[/url] is a very useful site for tips on getting the most out of OS X. here is how to unhide the Users Library folder permanently. [url=http://osxdaily.com/2014/12/16/show-user-library-folder-os-x-yosemite/]How to Always Show the User Library Folder in OS X Yosemite the Easy Way[/url] Once visible in Finder click on your Library folder it contains all sorts of stuff ! click on Application Support then click on Adobe then click on Lightroom This is where all the LR presets, profiles and user templates are stored. There is a separate folder for each type. Its useful to make Finder show the Path Bar by clicking - View - Show Path Bar the path bar will appear at the bottom of the finder window and shows the full unix path to whatever file or folder you have selected. So for example I wanted the full path to the develop presets this would show on my system as Macintosh HD/Users/David/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets On your system it would replace David with your short user name. In OS X and all Unix systems you can use ~/ to represent your own directory so the above can be shortened to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets If you double click this folder in Finder to show its contents and then CMD - T to open a new Finder tab. In this new tab go to the Downloads folder. Then its easy to simply drag the downloaded file from downloads and drop it on the presets folder - bingo ! Hang in there its only day 3 [/QUOTE]
