How to Install Your New Lightroom Presets (iPhone, Android & Desktop)
📱 Mobile Users (iPhone & Android)
Use the DNGÂ Files
These are the files ending in .dng and they work on any phone using the free Lightroom Mobile app.
Step-by-Step (iPhone & Android)
- Download the preset pack to your phone.
- Open the .zip folder → find the DNG files.
- Tap each DNG file and choose:
- “Share → Open in Lightroom”
or - “Save to Files” → then import into Lightroom later
- Lightroom will open the DNG as a photo.
- Tap the three dots (•••) in the top right.
- Tap Create Preset.
- Give it a name (e.g., Dawn Chorus).
- Tap Save.
Your preset will now appear under:
Presets → User Presets
🎉 You’re ready to start editing!
🍏 iPhone-Specific Notes
- If your iPhone asks how to open a DNG: choose Lightroom.
- If the files save to Files/iCloud, just open Lightroom → Add Photos → choose the DNG.
🤖 Android-Specific Notes
- If the DNG doesn’t open automatically, open Lightroom → Add Photos manually.
đź’» Desktop Users (Mac & Windows)
Use the XMPÂ Files
These are for Lightroom Classic / Lightroom Desktop CC.
To Install XMP Presets
- Open Lightroom Desktop.
- Go to the Develop tab.
- On the left panel, find Presets.
