Why Won't My Presets/Course Download?

  2. If you have any anti-virus software installed please disable it and try the download.
  3. Some of our courses (ie. The Lightroom System/Photoshop System/) are quite large and may take a few minutes to download depending on your download speed.

 

If you have a slow internet connection and can’t download please send us an email, we’ll work together to figure out a solution

Courses
Can I watch my course on an iPad or Tablet?

Yes. But you’ll first have to download the course to your computer. From there, you can transfer over to your tablet using several methods.

1. iTunes – you can connect our iPad to your computer and transfer the videos over just like any other video.

2. iCloud Drive – if you have iCloud Drive, you can put the videos on your computer on to iCloud Drive. Then go to iCloud Drive on your iPad and retrieve them. 

3. Dropbox – if you have Dropbox you can put the videos on to your Dropbox account and then retrieve them when you’re on your iPad. 

Can I download the course to an iPad or Tablet?
No. The courses are downloaded in a ZIP file and will not download correctly to your tablet. You’ll have to download them to your computer and transfer to your tablet from there.

If you’re on a Mac go to – [your user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Camera Raw/Local Corrections 

Sometimes operating systems will hide these folders. If you try to navigate to the local corrections folder and don’t see it please copy and paste the relevant link below into your browser and it’ll explain how to show hidden folders (you can find the links in the 0-Brush-Training-Video-Outline.pdf too).

How To Show Hidden Files:

If on Windows please show hidden folders by doing the following

  • Open File Explorer from the taskbar. 
  • Select View > Options > Change folder and search options.
  • Select the View tab and, in Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives and OK.

(if you get to the Camera Raw folder and there’s not a local correction folder, simply create a folder and name it Local Corrections inside of the Camera Raw folder.

4. Inside of the Local Corrections Press Ctrl-V (Mac: Command-V) to paste the brush files into that folder.

5. Restart Photoshop

6. Inside of Photoshop, open up a photo and go to the Filter menu and select Camera Raw Filter. Select the Adjustment Brush , Gradient Filter, or Radial Filter and then click on the hamburger icon next to the name of the tool you selection to open the menu.

How do I install Profiles into Lightroom?
Open Lightroom and go to the Lightroom Preferences (NOT Catalog Preferences) and make sure that the “Store preset with this catalog” option is not checked.

Then, navigate to the Camera Raw > Settings folder and copy the .xmp preset files to that folder. Here is an alternate method of locating that folder:

  • Mac: ~ / Library / Application Support / Adobe / CameraRaw / Settings
  • Windows: C: \\ ProgramData \\ Adobe \\ CameraRaw \\ Settings

Alternately, you can access the folder with this method:

  1. Open Lightroom (make sure it is updated to the new version)
  2. Go to Lightroom > Preferences
  3. Click the “Preset” section at the top
  4. Click the “Show Lightroom Presets Folder”
  5. Ignore the folder it highlights, and instead go up to the Camera Raw folder and open it
  6. Open the Settings folder and copy your .xml presets files into this folder
  7. Restart Photoshop or Lightroom Classic and the presets/profiles should be installed.
I get the "Wrong Preset Type" or "Invalid File Type"Error

This could mean a couple of things.

1. You’ve tried to put presets of one type (say Develop) into the wrong module (like Print). Please Note that Brush Presets, Print Templates are installed and accessed differently than Develop Module Presets.

2. You’re importing the wrong file. If importing the Preset System presets, make sure you’re importing the files located in Preset Files folder (City-Street.zip, Landscapes.zip etc) and not the Matts-Preset-System.zip file.

3. The presets are not compatible with your version of Lightroom. The Preset System and Brush and Gradient System presets are not compatible in Lightroom 6 and earlier versions.
