    Label-Text Overrides

    This preset includes label-text overrides for some metadata items. If you wish, you may download a version of the preset which does not include the label text overrides, such as when someone else has built this preset but you prefer the Lightroom defaults, or when you wish to set the label text yourself via Jeffrey's Lightroom Configuration Manager.

    Preset without label-text overrides: save this link to disk with a name ending with “.lrtemplate

  3. Install the file following these instructions.
    Instructions are also found in a comment at the top of the downloaded file.


You can also View and Edit this preset, such as to change the title, or use it as a base for constructing a different preset.

Sort Order

The way sort order works for these presets in Lightroom is a bit wonky, probably because it's a hidden, unsupported feature of these custom templates, which themselves are a hidden, unsupported feature of Lightroom. I suspect that support for a preset sort order exists merely to get “Default” at the top of the list of standard presets.

Anyway, here are the sorting rules:

  1. All custom presets with a sort order other than “Alphabetic by Title” appear at the top of the list, above “Default,” in the order specified. (If two or more custom presets have the same sort order, they are alphabetized in a case-sensitive manner: uppercase before lowercase)

  2. Then comes “Default”

  3. Finally, all “Alphabetic by Title,” custom presets appear mixed in with the other standard presets, alphabetized in a case-sensitive manner.
