How to install Presets to Lightroom Mobile

We are so excited to finally release our very own Presets store. Our presets are products of years of experience with perfecting our editing style. We are very proud to finally release them and have the confidence you will love them. In this guide we are going to show you how easy it is to install Lightroom Mobile Presets straight to your mobile device.

So you must be thinking “What are presets?”

Presets are a great starting base for editing images. They save time and make it easy to be able to edit on the go.

Presets are a predefined photographic profile setting that are designed to be applied to a photo. Photographic preset filters are used for Adobe Lightroom and can transform your photo in just one click. They are designed to give your photos a certain aesthetic or look and are created as a way of saving a set of editing adjustments so that you can easily re-apply the same adjustments to multiple photos. They add the polishing touches that make your content look professional.

Presets create a certain look and colour theme to your photography. Having a great set of presets to edit your images can be the difference between having professional looking photos or not.

The whole point of using presets is that they are hassle-free. They can be applied to images one by one, or to batches of similar photos. The best thing about using Lightroom presets over Instagram’s editing tools is that you can adjust individual colours, change the size of your image and save your photos in high quality.

How to install Presets to Lightroom Mobile.

Step 1.

First thing you need to do before starting the installation is to down- load the free Adobe Lightroom CC App from your mobile app store. You will then have to create an Adobe account if you dont already have one. This is very quick and free to do.

Select all the .dng presets files on your laptop and either airdrop or email them to your phone. You will not be able to “open’ the .dng files as they will appear on your camera roll as blank images. Dont stress this is normal.

If you dont have access to a Desktop/ Laptop you can download them straight to your phone into your Downloads File or apps such as iZip, Zip and RAR File extractor to unzip the preset folder.

A. Double Click on the Zip file to open. Open the unzipped blue folder.

You can scroll and tap on each individual preset and try out which preset works best on your photo. Once you have applied the preset that you want, to save the photo click the save icon (3rd from the right). Click on “Export to Camera Roll”
