onwards.

Extract the ZIP file (desktop version) with the presets

that you downloaded from AAAPresets.
Open Lightroom CC and click on the edit icon at the top
right. The icon looks like three
sliders—three horizontal bars with circles on them.
At the bottom on the screen, you will see a Presets
button. Click this.
The presets panel is now revealed.
Click on the icon of three dots at the top •••
In the dropdown menu select Import Presets.
Navigate to the folder 'Lightroom and Lightroom
Classic since Apr 2018 (.XMP)', select the presets ZIP
file(s) and click Import.
All of the presets will now be listed in the Presets panel.
 INSTALLING PRESETS IN
LIGHTROOM MOBILE

Method 1: via Lightroom on desktop (using

XMP presets)

You must install the presets in the Lightroom desktop

application (not Lightroom Classic) on your Windows or
Mac computer first. Once they are installed, the presets will
automatically sync to your mobile device via the cloud. See
also: Step-by-step guide by Adobe.

Method 2: via Lightroom Mobile app

Below you will find installation instructions on how to

install Lightroom Presets in the free Lightroom Mobile app
for Apple iOS and Android for which you do not need a paid
version of Lightroom. However, this installation method is
very time-consuming on iOS devices, and method 1 is
clearly recommended if you have a Creative Cloud
subscription.

 HOW TO USE DNG FILE ON YOUR
PHONE

1. Get DNG Files on Your Phone

When you purchase or download Lightroom presets, you’ll

either get the individual files or a zip file. If you receive them
individually, simply open the email directly from your phone
and save the presets files.
If you’ve got the files already saved on your desktop
computer, there are several ways to transfer presets to your
phone.
You can email the files to yourself to then open the email on
your phone. You can use Dropbox to transfer presets files from
your desktop. Or you can use AirDrop if you have the files
saved on your desktop and you’re a Mac user.
Once you have the files on your phone, make note of where
the files are saved. This way, you can easily find them later.
If you receive a zip file, you can use an app such as iZip to
unzip it on your cell phone. Of course, you can also unzip the
file on your desktop and then use any of the above methods
to send the files to your phone.
2. Import DNG files Into Lightroom Mobile

The next step is to bring the DNG files into the Lightroom app!
Open the Lightroom app and create a new album to house
just your preset DNG files. To create the new album, tap the +
to the right of the “Albums” section title. Then tap “Album”
when it appears at the bottom. (as shown below)

Tap to
create
album
Once you have the Lightroom presets album created, tap the
three dots to the right of the album name. Select “Add
Photos”, and then select where your photos are saved.
If you used iZip, you’ll select “From Files”. If you brought the
files in individually, though, you’ll select “From Camera Roll”.
After pressing the three dots on the new album, tap here to
add photos

Tap
here

Select the location of the DNG files.

Next, select the DNG photo files to add and tap “Add”.
Select the DNG files to add.
3. Save Presets

You have the DNG files loaded into the Lightroom app, so let’s
go ahead and save those Lightroom presets! Open up one of
the photos from your folder of DNGs.
I recommend starting with the top left and going in order so
you don’t lose track.
Go into the album you created and select the first DNG file to
open.
With the DNG photo open, tap the three dots in the top right
corner. When the options appear, select “Create Preset”.

Select the
DNG file
Tap the
three
dots
Once open, you can easily save
the settings of the DNG file as a
new preset!
A list of options and checkboxes
will appear. These let you select
which settings you want to
include in the presets. This
screen is also where you name
the preset and can create a
separate folder for it.
If you purchase presets from
multiple sources, I recommend
having a folder for each source.
When you have selected
everything, you want, tap the
checkmark to save the new
Lightroom presets. Next, repeat
this process with each DNG file
in the folder!
Here you name, organize, and
select settings for your new
preset.
4. Use Lightroom Mobile Presets

Now that you have the presets

saved in the Lightroom app,
it’s very easy to use them.
Open a photo that you want to
edit.
At the bottom of the screen,
you’ll see the sections with
settings you can adjust. Scroll
to the far right to reach the
“Presets” section.
The presets section at the
bottom of the app screen
houses all your saved
Lightroom presets.

Presets section

Tap into the Presets section, select the folder with the preset you
want to use. Then tap the preset you’d like to apply. Lightroom even
creates mini thumbnails showing a preview of that preset applied!
When the preset is selected and you want to keep it, tap the
checkmark to finalize.
 BEOFRE AFTER

Select the presets

Some Minor Adjustments can be required like lighting condition

changes from photograph to photograph, so that can be too
done easily!
 FAQ

What Are Lightroom Presets?

The simplest way to think of them is like a filter that give

your photos a professional and beautiful look in 1 easy click.
They are called presets because they are made within Adobe
Lightroom and are “pre” decided “setting” that can give
your photos a certain look and feel.
A preset is a lot of different actions — like adjusting colors,
exposure, white balance, and saturation — all saved into one
action, called a “preset”.
The benefit of presets is they are much quicker than
manually editing every photo, they create consistency in
your photos, and anyone can use them—whether you’ve
ever edited a photograph or not!
