Transform your photography with professional presets designed to elevate every shot. This comprehensive guide walks you through the installation process across all platforms, ensuring you can start creating stunning edits immediately.

Installing presets on Lightroom for Mac is straightforward and takes just a few minutes.

Step 1: Download and Prepare Your Presets

Download your preset collection from inFoqus. The files will arrive as a compressed .zip folder in your Downloads directory. Double-click to extract the folder, revealing your .xmp or .lrtemplate preset files.

Step 2: Access Lightroom's Develop Module

Launch Lightroom Classic and navigate to the Develop module (located in the top-right corner, or press 'D' for quick access).

Step 3: Import Your Presets

In the Presets panel on the left sidebar, right-click (or Control + click) in any empty area and select "Import." Navigate to your extracted preset folder, select all .xmp or .lrtemplate files, and click "Import."

Step 4: Organize Your Collection

Create a dedicated folder for your new presets by right-clicking in the Presets panel and selecting "New Folder." Name it appropriately (such as "inFoqus Collection") and drag your imported presets into this organized space.

Step 5: Apply and Refine

Open any image, click on your newly installed preset, and watch the transformation. Remember, presets serve as professional starting points—fine-tune the settings to match your creative vision.

Note: For Lightroom CC users, simply go to File > Import Develop Profiles and Presets, select your .xmp files, and import directly.

The Windows installation process mirrors the Mac workflow with identical results.

Step 1: Download and Extract

Download your preset package from inFoqus to your Downloads folder. Right-click the .zip file and select "Extract All" to access your .xmp or .lrtemplate files.

Step 2: Launch Lightroom Classic

Open Lightroom Classic and switch to the Develop module (top-right or press 'D').

Step 3: Import Process

Right-click anywhere in the left-side Presets panel and choose "Import." Browse to your extracted folder, select the preset files, and click "Import."

Step 4: Professional Organization

Maintain a clean workspace by creating a new folder in the Presets panel. Right-click and select "New Folder," then organize your presets by collection or style.

Step 5: Creative Application

Load an image, apply your preset with a single click, and adjust settings to achieve your desired aesthetic.

Lightroom CC users can use the same File > Import Develop Profiles and Presets method as Mac users.

Take your professional editing capabilities anywhere with mobile preset installation.

Step 1: Download and Prepare

Download your preset collection directly to your mobile device. For .zip files, use the Files app (iOS) or a file manager like RAR (Android) to extract the contents. Mobile presets typically come as .dng image files.

Step 2: Import to Lightroom Mobile

Open Lightroom Mobile and tap the "+" icon to add new content. Locate your .dng preset files (usually in Downloads) and import them into your library.

Step 3: Create Custom Presets

Open each .dng file individually. Tap the three-dot menu (top-right) and select "Create Preset." Name your preset descriptively and save it to a dedicated group for easy access.

Step 4: Professional Mobile Editing

When editing any photo, tap "Presets" at the bottom of the screen and select your custom preset. Fine-tune the settings to perfect your image.

Pro Tip: Lightroom CC desktop users can sync presets automatically to mobile by ensuring both devices use the same Adobe account with sync enabled.

Presets Not Appearing: Verify you're in the Develop module (desktop) or that presets were saved correctly (mobile). If they're still missing, restart Lightroom completely—sometimes the interface needs a refresh to display new imports.

Import Button Grayed Out: This happens when you haven't selected any compatible files. Ensure you're selecting .xmp files, not folders or other file types.

Presets Applied But Look Wrong: Check your image's color profile and camera settings. Presets are calibrated for standard sRGB profiles—images shot in Adobe RGB or other color spaces may display differently than intended.

Mobile Sync Problems: Confirm both devices use the same Adobe account and that synchronization is enabled in your settings. Poor internet connection can also interrupt sync—try switching between WiFi and cellular data.

Performance Issues After Installing: If Lightroom runs slowly after adding many presets, consider organizing them into fewer folders or removing unused presets to improve performance.

Essential File Management: Store your original preset files in a dedicated folder on your computer before importing. This creates a backup system if you need to reinstall or transfer presets to another machine. Name your preset folders clearly—"Portrait Presets," "Landscape Collection," or "Wedding Edits"—to maintain organization as your library grows.

These presets represent professional-grade color grading and tone mapping, designed to enhance your photography workflow. Each preset serves as a foundation for your creative vision—apply, adjust, and make every image uniquely yours.
