I don't see Radiant Photo plugin in the "Edit in" menu in Lightroom Classic

  • Updated

Occasionally, Radiant Photo may not show up properly in your Lightroom menu. This is evident if Radiant Photo does NOT appear when you select Edit In.


Here's how it can be fixed:

  1. Open up your Settings/Preferences menu (it's under Lightroom on macOS and Edit for Windows).
  2. Navigate to the "Presets" tab.
  3. Under "Location," you will have a checkbox for "Store presets with this catalog."
  4. It has to be unchecked. If it is, you should be able to see Radiant Photo as an option in "Edit in."

 


If Radiant Photo is still missing from the Edit In menu:
