Help with Preset Importing Error "The preset file was the wrong type of preset"

[taylorallancreative]

Hello!

I am running LR Classic CC version 8.0 and am trying to send my presets to my editing team that is using LR version 6 (CC 2015). They are unable to import my presets and are getting this error. Can anyone help me resolve this? I have seen some comments having to do with brush presets, but this is not even able to import a preset that is strictly a label (Process version is the only thing checked in the preset).

If it makes a difference, I am working on a mac and they are working on a PC.

Thanks for your help!

They are trying to import an XMP preset into Lightroom CC2015. That old version of Lightroom does not support XMP presets. These were introduced in Lightroom Classic 7.3.
