Extract text from LRTEMPLATE files
To convert your LRTEMPLATE file to another format, you need Adobe Lightroom or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "Photo Editing Preset" file type, you need software like Adobe Lightroom or a similar tool.
The .LRTEMPLATE file is a legacy settings format used by older versions of Adobe Lightroom (prior to version 7.3) to store image processing presets. These files contain a specific set of instructions - such as exposure, contrast, and color grading adjustments - coded in a Lua-based text format. While effective in the past, .LRTEMPLATE files are now a downside for modern photographers because Adobe shifted the standard to XMP profiles in April 2018.
This transition means that newer applications like Adobe Lightroom CC and Adobe Camera Raw cannot natively read .LRTEMPLATE files without an internal conversion process. Users often find themselves locked out of their archived preset collections or unable to share older presets with colleagues using modern workflows. Furthermore, because these are purely instruction files, you cannot "view" them like an image; they must be applied to a raw photo to see the effect. To ensure long-term compatibility and cross-platform use, the best practice is to convert these legacy presets to the industry-standard XMP format. For users simply needing to inspect the adjustment values without installing legacy software, converting the file to TXT reveals the internal parameter data.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LRTEMPLATE file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted XMP, LRT, ZIP, DNG, CUBE, PNG, IR, XAPK, PDF, RAR, PRFPSET, JPG and AAE files.
If you want to convert LRTEMPLATE file to XMP, DNG, CUBE, LUT, INI, CFG, CONF, CONFIG, JSON, XML, YAML or YML, you can use Adobe Lightroom or similar software from the "Image Development Preset" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert ZSHRC, CONF, RCFILE, GITCONFIG, RC, PLIST, BASHRC, CONFIG, PROFILE, INI, PREFS or CFG files to LRTEMPLATE, try Adobe Lightroom or another comparable tool in the "Image Development Preset" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our LRTEMPLATE converter.
