XMP presets in CS6

[zlm]

Question for all the techies in here. I have PS CS6 currently and can't upgrade to CC without upgrading my Mac OS (so its not happening). I would love to get some new presets, but they are only compatible with CC. Technically they are .XMP files so shouldn't they work with my old school CS6?

That depends if they include data pertaining to functions which only exist in CC.  There aren't many such functions, but you might get stung all the same.

Honestly, don't waste your time with presets.  Just post here so I can help you do it yourself.

Now hold on.  That's not a job for presets.  That's a job for good clean processing.  https://www.damiensymonds.net/2012/09/what-is-clean-processing.html
