    Hello folks.

    I recently had the problem that I couldn't find any decent software (online and on PC) to convert old LR (.lrtemplate) files to .XMP files for Adobe CameraRaw.

    I solved the problem with my own little program that you can use on MAC and WIN.

    You just have to download it and open it locally with a browser of your choice - The code is public for review.

    Instructions:
    1. download and use password to unzip: p-v.club
    2. double-click on the file or right-click -> Open with (select browser here)
    3. the program is opened locally on your browser and is not online
    4. drag all .LR files into the window.
    5. the program automatically converts all files into .xmp files.
    6. download. A complete .zip folder will be created which you can upload and use in Adobe CameraRaw, for example.

    Note: This doesn't work with LR Brushes, just presets. If there is a demand, I can perhaps add this again or maybe someone else wants to take on the task.
    Update: Version 2.0 added in post #8

    Have fun :)

    Oh wow, I didn't know so many of you would like to have this tool.

    Here is my Version 2.0 Preset Converter Mac & Win
    - added Mask Presets to XMP (convert LR brushes into masks/brushes for newer LR and Camera RAW versions)
    - added XMP to Global LRTEMPLATE
    - added DNG to XMP Extractor

    - No external servers or APIs: No data is sent to external servers. Everything happens locally in the browser.
    - External scripts used (libraries only):
    • tailwindcss for styling
    • jszip for ZIP creation
    • google fonts (Inter) for fonts
    These only load static files and do not send back any user data.

    -Local file processing: Uploaded .lrtemplate, .xmp, or .dng files are read and processed in the browser and downloaded as .xmp or .lrtemplate files—no upload to a server takes place.
    - No analytics, tracking, or logging: There is no indication of cookies, IP tracking, or logging of user actions.

    Please let me know how it works for you guys. And give a review of how to improve the tool or to add things :)

    Hello Ariel <3

    First of all thank you for updating the preset converter, its so cool you put these other option with it - love it!
    I usually used the Lightroom android app to convert the files to xmp - but unfortunately something got changed inside the app and now The files lose their original names and are renamed to a combination of numbers and letters after importing it, they are not even divided into different folders..

    to version 2: I couldn't open the file at first, so I checked the code in it (like I would know what im doin haha not!). but I saw that some lines were missing in the <style> part compared to version 1 - the missing lines was ".message-box {...." so I copied that into it and saved it to html, and then everything worked flawles like version 1 :)

    Thank you for your feedback. I will have a look on it, thank you.

    Yeah, I think your old way of converting the files has to do with the way Lightroom interprets the masks and brushes. It cost me some time to make it work: brushes <->masks
