Lightroom Presets

Installing new presets

• Start Lightroom
• Open up the presets on the left (in Develop mode)
• All the adobe presets start with "Lightroom ..."
• Create new folder for the new presets (optional), otherwise, lightroom will put new presets in "User Presets" folder.  This is your way to group the presets.
• Right click on the folder and select "Import"
• Go to the location of your downloaded presets and import them (remember to unzip the zip file to get the preset files .lrtemplate)
• You can move the preset from one folder to the other
• Right click on the imported preset and select "Show in Finder"
• You can import the new presets, create new folder from here (need to restart Lightroom to see the result)
• You cannot create sub-folders and if you create sub-folder manually in the finder, the sub-folder will appear as a folder in lightroom
