Can’t find your email with your download link? Make sure you check your spam/junk folder.
• If your phone doesn’t give you the option to select Google Chrome to open your download link, you can instead copy and paste the link directly to Chrome and continue following the instructions.
• If you are not seeing Lightroom mobile as an option to open in from the Unzip app, make sure you are opening the individual DNG file in Lightroom, not the entire folder.
• Please make sure you are in the Edit module in Lightroom when you are editing images. You won’t be able to create or apply your preset unless you are in the edit module. You can look in the upper left hand corner of Lightroom to confirm that you are in the edit module when applying a preset.
• You may want to adjust the exposure after applying the preset in order to achieve your perfect edit. Look for the "Light" button and then move the exposure slider to the right or left.
1. Download the "Files by Google" app, and the Adobe Lightroom Photo editor app to your phone. Then click the download button in the email you received from us after purchase. Click "download now".
2. Select to open with "my files". In your notifications window, select your download once it has finished downloading. Select to extract or unzip the files.
3. Once the file is unzipped, click to open it. You will then see all the DNG files, which are your presets. Select all the DNG files, then click the three dots at the upper right corner, or the share button if you have that option (share button might have this symbol next to it < ). Select add to Lightroom.
4. The DNG files should now all be in "All photos" in your Lightroom mobile app. Select one of the DNG files, then make sure you are in the "Edit" module in the top left corner of the screen.

Using your desktop or laptop, open the zipped file folder from your download link. You will see several DNG files inside. DO NOT click on the DNG files to open them. They need to stay in the DNG format to work.
Airdrop the DNG images that were in the zipped file folder to your mobile device. Once transferred they will appear in the camera roll of your mobile phone. They will look like blank squares…this is perfect!
Once you have transferred the DNG files to your phone (via AirDrop) you can add them to the Lightroom Mobile App by following the next steps:

6. Your Presets will appear under the presets tab. If they are not there, restart Lightroom CC and they will show up.
Make sure the folder containing your .xmp presets is saved in a location where you can easily find it.
I suggest unzipping it and saving it on your Desktop.
You will want to copy this folder so that you can paste it into the settings folder later.
Read the step by step directions below to walk through the process.
1. Open Lightroom Classic. In the upper left hand corner, click on Lightroom and then click on Preferences.
2. A new screen will pop up. Look for the Presets tab.
3. Click on the white box (towards the middle of the screen) titled Show Lightroom Develop Presets.
4. Locate the Settings folder and double click to open it. Paste the entire unzipped folder containing your .xmp files ( the one you unzipped and copied earlier) into this folder.
5. That’s it! So easy and fun. If the presets do not show up automatically, go ahead and close Lightroom. Once you restart it, the presets will appear.
