We waited what seemed like forever to get the ability to use presets in Lightroom Mobile. And we had to wait even longer to give you the ability to use Lightroom presets in the free version of Lightroom Mobile!

With this new collection of Lightroom presets, even MOBILE USERS can now use presets to create gorgeous Light & Airy professional edits from their digital devices. No matter if your photos were taken with a phone or DSLR, your images will look beautiful.

Step 1: Unzip the Files

The first thing you will need to do is unzip the folder of presets that you downloaded. You can easily do this on a computer. On a PC, just right-click on the zipped folder and choose "Extract All" from the menu of options. On a Mac, just double-click the file and Mac's unzipping utility does the rest.

How to Unzip Files on a Windows computer

If you need to do this step on a iPhone or iPad, just tap on the zipped file and it will unzip. If you need to do this on an Android phone, you will need to download the Files by Google or WinZip app (Android app) to your phone.

Step 2: Save the Presets

If you unzipped the presets on your computer, you will need to save the preset files to your favorite cloud storage option, so you can access them on your mobile phone. You will also need to be able to allow access to those files on your phone through that same cloud storage app.

If you unzipped the preset download on your phone, you can skip this step. Make sure you know where the unzipped files are located on your phone or device.

Step 3: Open the Lightroom Mobile CC App

This step is really easy. Just open your free Lightroom app. Once its open, you can add the DNG/Preset files (next step).

Step 4: Add the DNG/Preset Files

To add a preset, click on the (...) Settings option in the top-right corner of the app.

Choose the Add Photos option.

On the next screen, choose the location you will be pulling your DNG/Preset files from. If you have saved them to your phone, choose "From Camera Roll". If you have saved them to a cloud storage option, choose "From Files".

NOTE: Preset files are DNG files. When you initially open the image, you may get an error that says, "Cannot Load File". This is normal. Press the check mark in the corner anyway.

Step 5: Create Lightroom Presets from the DNG Files

Click on one of the newly imported files, then click on the three dots inside a circle in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. From there, choose "Create Preset" from the menu that appears.

Give your preset a name. We recommend to type the same name that is on the front of the preset image (to keep things simple).

You should also put the preset in a Preset Group.By default, it will be in the User Presets group. Creating a new group with your new collection's name will keep the presets from each collection together.

Do these same steps for each DNG/preset file.

Click through the presets until you find the one you like. When you are finished adding your preset, click the check mark in the lower right corner.
