Where Does Exposure X7 Store Catalogs and Presets?
Exposure X7 catalogs, presets and prefs on Windows and macOS for photo libraries.
Last updated
Exposure X7 keeps photos where they already are and tracks them in catalog files. Presets and prefs sit in per OS app data under Exposure Software.
Backing up edits means copying catalogs plus presets. Original RAWs need their own backup. Moving drives breaks links unless folder paths match.
Where Exposure X7 stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Exposure Software\Exposure X7\
Presets, textures and prefs. Catalogs default under Pictures\Exposure Software\Exposure X7 Catalogs\ unless relocated. Copy both trees with the app closed.
~/Library/Application Support/Exposure Software/Exposure X7/
Same split: support here, catalogs in ~/Pictures/Exposure Software/ unless moved. Use Go to Folder in Finder. Exact folder casing may vary by minor version.
Frequently asked questions
Where are my Exposure X7 photos?
Where they were imported from, usually Pictures or an external drive. Catalogs only reference them. If images show missing, relink the top folder instead of reimporting.
How do I move Exposure X7 to a new computer?
Copy the support folder plus catalogs and the photo folders with identical paths, then launch once. Keep a spare copy until edits and presets appear. Check app settings if paths shifted.
