How to install and use lightroom presets
Introduction
The following steps will help you to easily add your downloaded presets to Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic.
If you don’t use Adobe Lightroom yet, take a look at the Adobe CC plans here.
Also consider my presets packs that work for your RAW & JPEG files in Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic:
How to install presets to Lightroom Classic
- Open Lightroom Classic.
- Move to the Develop panel (Hotkey: D).
- On the top right under Presets click the + icon and Import Presets.
- Search the downloaded folder on your computer, select all files and click import.
- The preset pack appears on the left side in the app.
How to use presets in Lightroom Classic
- Import your photos.
- Adjust exposure and white balance first so your image is properly exposed.
- My presets will not affect exposure and white balance, which will make it easier to scroll through the presets.
- Scroll through the presets.
- Hover for a preview.
- Click to apply the settings to the photo.
- Depending on the lighting of the image, adjust the tonality (exposure, contrast, shadows, highlights, whites and blacks).
How to install and use presets in Lightroom CC and mobile
