How to Import Lightroom Presets: A Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Updated: 2 days ago

Want to make your photo editing easier? In this quick guide, I’ll show you how to import Lightroom presets on desktop, mobile, and Adobe Camera Raw. It’s super simple, and you’ll be up and running in no time!


What are Lightroom Presets?


Lightroom presets are pre-configured settings in Adobe Lightroom that apply a specific look or style to your photos with just one click. They adjust various elements to create a consistent edit across multiple images. Presets can save time by streamlining your editing process, allowing you to quickly apply a desired aesthetic without manually adjusting each setting.

What are Lightroom Presets NOT?


Lightroom presets are not a one-size-fits-all solution. They don't automatically make every photo look perfect, as their effectiveness depends on the original lighting, color, and composition. Presets are not a replacement for basic editing skills; you may still need to fine-tune your photos after applying a preset. Additionally, they are not the same as filters found on social media apps, which often have limited adjustment options. Instead, presets are startiing points that offer flexibility, allowing you to adjust and customize the look to suit your specific needs.
