I have created a few presets in Lightroom CC and, now, I wish to rename them. How can I rename User Presets in Lightroom CC?

Please, note the question is specific to Lightroom CC and not Lightroom Classic, thanks.

One possible way is:

  • get not edited image
  • apply preset you want to rename
  • create new preset with desired name
  • delete preset with old name

Next idea is a bit speculative as I don't have this software installed:

  • find in the filesystem where are stored these files. they have extension .XMP

  • open the files with your presets in text editor

  • search for structure like:

     <crs:Name>
  <rdf:Alt>
   <rdf:li xml:lang="x-default">The name you search for</rdf:li>
  </rdf:Alt>
 </crs:Name>

  • change the text and save the file.

  • start Lightroom CC and eventually you will have your presets renamed

  • \$\begingroup\$ @smn.tino, I edit my question and add another (possible) way. DO not forget to make a backup of the file you edit. \$\endgroup\$
