Adding Presets To Lightroom CC Mobile Tutorial
Lightroom CC Mobile doesn’t allow importing of regular preset files, so we’re going to need to save our presets into DNG files, and import them that way. Here’s how:
Step 1: Open Lightroom on your computer.
Step 2: Apply the develop preset you want to copy to any photo
Step 3: Move your curser to the menu bar, and click file >> export with preset >> export to DNG
Step 4: Save your DNG and rename it with the name of the preset you applied
Step 5: Repeat for all the presets you want to add to Lightroom CC Mobile
There are two options for steps 6-10! The slightly easier one is to use Lightroom CC on your computer, but if you don’t have it installed, you can email / dropbox / airdrop your DNG’s to your phone, and then use Lightroom CC Mobile to get you the rest of the way too!
Step 6: Open Lightroom CC or Lightroom CC Mobile
Step 7: Import your DNG files
Step 8: Create a new album to keep your preset DNGs organized + easily accessible. Lightroom CC will automatically sync the DNG files to your phone!
Step 9: Enjoy your presets! Open up your smart phone and the presets + albums will sync straight across. To use on mobile or computer, simply select the DNG with the preset you want to apply, copy the settings, and paste on the photo of your choice.
And that’s how to get Lightroom Presets on your phone in Lightroom CC Mobile 2018.
Its too bad Lightroom CC Mobile doesn’t allow you to import your presets the way that Lightroom and Lightroom CC for your computer do. Fingers crossed this will be a new feature in future versions of Lightroom CC Mobile, but in the meantime, the process is doable.
