Was wondering if there was a way to convert a LR3 develop preset to LR4. Yeah I know you can still use the preset - it will take you back to the 2010 process and then if you like you could then switch back to 2012. But it would be nice to skip that dance.
Really the preset is just a text file with some 2010 process develop settings defined. Adobe has obviously already worked out a mapping from 2010 to 2012 process, so the code already exists in LR. It should be simple to run a script over the old preset text files and output new files with the 2012 process equivalent settings. Of course some would map more accurately than others, some would be spot on, others unusable, etc, but all in all this would be a useful thing.
An enterprising soul could reverse engineer the 2010 (or earlier for that matter) to 2012 mapping and maybe have a window to sell a small tool to do this, but Adobe has already written this code.
I don't think this exists, but a number of people close to the action post here, so thoughts?
