Lightroom Classic (Version 7.3+) Installation

Importing presets into Lightroom Classic 7.3 or later is a breeze. To get started, download the preset files in a .zip format from your source.

Then, open Lightroom Classic and head to the Develop Module. Click on File and select "Import Develop Profiles and Presets" from the dropdown menu. Next, choose the downloaded .zip file containing your new presets or navigate to the folder where you've unzipped the .xmp files. Before importing, verify that your preset files are compatible with Lightroom and free from any corruption issues.

Once you've selected the files, click "Import" and voila! Your new presets will now be available in the Presets Panel on the left side of the Develop Module.

If you prefer, you can also import presets by clicking the + icon in the Presets Panel and selecting "Import Presets" from there.

The entire installation process is quick and easy, so you'll be editing with your new presets in no time! With this step-by-step guide, you'll become a preset importing pro.

Lightroom 4-6 and Classic Installation

For Lightroom 4-6 and older Classic versions, you'll need to extract the presets from the downloaded .zip file to access the individual .lrtemplate files.

Once you have the .lrtemplate files, it's time to copy them into the "Develop Presets" folder within your Lightroom Presets directory.

Don't worry, it's not as complicated as it sounds!

Extracting Downloaded Presets

Once you've downloaded the presets in a .zip file format, extract the files using your operating system's built-in tools. For Lightroom versions 4, 5, 6, or Classic versions before 7.3, the preset files must be in the .lrtemplate format to import them correctly.

Next, open Lightroom and head to the Preferences window. You can find it under Edit for Windows users or Lightroom for Mac folks. Click on the Presets tab and look for either "Show Lightroom Presets Folder" or "Show All Other Lightroom Presets." Give it a click to reveal the location of the Develop Presets folder.

Now, take those extracted .lrtemplate files and copy them into the Develop Presets folder. Once they're in there, restart Lightroom Classic to complete the installation process.

And voila! You're ready to apply those snazzy new presets to your photos and take your editing game to the next level. It might seem like a bit of a process, but trust us, it's worth it for the creative possibilities that await you!

Copying to Develop Presets

After extracting your downloaded presets, it's time to copy them into the right location for Lightroom to recognize them. Here's what to do:

• Open up Lightroom and head over to the Preferences menu. You can find this under Edit for Windows users or Lightroom for Mac folks.
• Once in Preferences, click on the Presets tab and look for the "Show Lightroom Presets Folder" or "Show All Other Lightroom Presets" option. Give it a click to reveal the Develop Presets folder.
• Now, take those unzipped .lrtemplate files you extracted from the .zip and copy them into the Develop Presets folder. This preps everything for the final installation step.

To complete the import process, simply restart Lightroom. When it fires back up, you'll find your new presets ready and waiting in the Presets panel.

It's that easy! With your presets installed, you're all set to start applying them to your photos and taking your editing game to the next level.
