Today’s Question: I have a list of external editors that appear in Lightroom Classic when I right click on an image and select Edit In. How can I remove an external editor from that list that I no longer use, or has been replaced by a newer version?
Tim’s Quick Answer: You can remove an external editor from the Edit In list in Lightroom Classic by deleting the applicable preset on the External Editing tab of the Preferences dialog.
More Detail: When you install a plug-in that supports operating as an external editor in Lightroom Classic, that plug-in will appear on the Edit In menu, which can be found on the Photo menu as well as on the popup menu when you right-click on an image.
If you later want to remove a plug-in from the Edit In menu, in some cases uninstalling the plug-in may cause it to be removed automatically. If not, you can manually remove the plug-in from the Preferences dialog.
To get started, choose Preferences from the Edit menu on Windows or the Lightroom Classic menu on Macintosh. Go to the External Editing tab, where you’ll find the Preset popup in the Additional External Editor section. Click that popup and choose the plug-in you want to remove from the Edit In menu. Then click the popup again and choose “Delete preset” from the popup. Note that this option will include the name of the currently selected preset as well. You can then close the Preferences dialog, and the plug-in you removed will no longer appear on the Edit In menu.
