Digital BW, The Print

It isn't entirely obviously and that was my first unexpected result. You can create a preset and when you save it, check "Process Version". But you can't tell later what process version you used when you created or modified it. So some of my images were reverting back to Process 2010.

This was a preset I use on import. I think the easy answer for me is to uncheck Process Version, resave and then new images will come in with the default (current) process version. I had not paid attention when I created it because the process has improved steadily and I use always use the latest.

If you want to save an explicit verseion you could create a preset after selecting that version you wanted on the current image. And then add that to the name of the preset.

Finally, it does not take much to manually edit your preset files. These are text files (to find them, Edit->Preferences->Presets and click on Show Lightroom Presets Folder...) in the Develop Presets\User Presets subfolder. Process version (matches Camera Raw!) is explicitly included like this:

	ProcessVersion = "6.7", << This is LR 4.1/4.1RC
	ProcessVersion = "5.7", << This is from LR 3.6

If you delete the line entirely, it is the same as unchecking the box when you save or update a preset.
