The following are installation instructions for Lightroom Versions 5.0 – 7.2 If you have Lightroom v7.3 or higher, then use the installation instructions at this link. The following are installation instructions for presets in previous versions of Lightroom (v5.0 – v7.2). I have been working on my presets for years and I have lots available for free on my website. If you wish to further your knowledge in using Lightroom or simply Lightroom presets, you can go to our article A Beginner Introduction to Lightroom Presets. When you restart Lightroom, all of the presets should be there for you to mouse through and they should be there nicely in folders for you. Go over to where Lightroom puts your presets folder and click paste. Select all of the files and hit control > copy. Step 3: Locate the file you just unzipped. Or use an unzip program if you’re using an older computer. To unzip them either double click the presets, or right click on the presets and mouse over the unzip option. When you find the presets you just downloaded, they are going to be zipped and you have to unzip them. Usually after you download something, you can find it by going to your recent downloads on your computer. Open up a new finder window or a new Windows Explorer window then find the the presets you just downloaded. Great! Now if we look at the folder trail, we can see where Lightroom saves any new presets. Right click on that > show in finder OR for Windows, it’s going to say show in Windows Explore. Now we should have the new preset that we made showing up in Lightroom on the left under Presets. Underneath where you name the preset, click inside the folder box to select a folder. Then hit the plus button and we’re going to call this “random”. It doesn’t matter what you do to alter the photo. Select a photo and go wild with your sliders.

When you want to import a collection of presets, however, we have to do it a little differently because we want the entire folder of presets to be imported so that they are nicely organized in your library.īefore you begin, backup your current Lightroom presets. Right click > import and you can import the preset you just downloaded. If all you’re doing is downloading one Lightroom preset that you’ve downloaded online or something like that, installing presets is really simple.
