How to Install Your New Lightroom Presets (iPhone, Android & Desktop)

📱 Mobile Users (iPhone & Android)

Use the DNG 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)

1. Download the preset pack to your phone.
2. Open the .zip folder → find the DNG files.
3. Tap each DNG file and choose:
   
• “Share → Open in Lightroom”
  or
• “Save to Files” → then import into Lightroom later
4. Lightroom will open the DNG as a photo.
5. Tap the three dots (•••) in the top right.
6. Tap Create Preset.
7. Give it a name (e.g., Dawn Chorus).
8. 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.

💻 Desktop Users (Mac & Windows)

Use the XMP Files

These are for Lightroom Classic / Lightroom Desktop CC.

To Install XMP Presets

1. Open Lightroom Desktop.
2. Go to the Develop tab.
3. On the left panel, find Presets.
4. Click the + icon next to Presets.
5. Choose Import Presets.
6. Select the .xmp files included in your pack.
7. Click Import.

Your presets will now appear under:

Presets → User Presets
