If yous oasis't yet, take hold of your set up of our custom Desktop and Mobile presets here.

HOW TO INSTALL LIGHTROOM MOBILE PRESETS

Footstep #1 | DOWNLOAD ADOBE LIGHTROOM CC APP

To start off, download the free Adobe Lightroom CC App from your mobile App Store.

Once downloaded, if you oasis't already, you will then demand to create an Adobe account. This is quick and free to do.

STEP #two | DOWNLOAD THE DNG FILES TO YOUR Phone

The Common Wanderer mobile presets will come every bit DNG files which y'all can download directly to your telephone.

We find it easiest to unzip your presets on a desktop computer and ship them to your phone. We tend to do this via AirDrop, email or Google Drive.

AirDrop is typically the quick and easiest method for file sharing. Equally the files are in DNG format, they volition show up on your camera roll as blank photos. Don't worry, this is normal.

For the sake of this tutorial, nosotros're importing the 'Nepal' preset pack which consists of xi presets. The amount of presets in your folder will depend on the pack you purchased.


GOOGLE DRIVE (OUR PREFERRED METHOD)

To add together your DNG presets to your mobile phone using Google Drive, follow the steps below:

  • Drag your DNG files into your Google Drive folder and wait for the files to sync

  • One time all your files are synced, become into the folder you gear up up your preset in on your Google Bulldoze phone app and export each DNG file into your phone.

  • Salve each preset individually to your camera scroll

See detailed steps below in Step #iii


Note |If you don't take a desktop to unzip the preset pack, y'all tin apply apps like iZip to unzip the file straight on your telephone.

Footstep #three | IMPORT THE PRESET FILES INTO THE LIGHTROOM APP

At this signal yous should have all of your DNG files saved to your phone.

DNG files have the preset applied to them, so you need to add these to Lightroom mobile and save the presets out of them.

If you lot go into your camera scroll and see them equally blank picture files, don't be alarmed – that's how they should look.

Open the Lightroom app and and select the DNG presets from your photographic camera curl (or from iZIP) and import them into the newly created album in Lightroom.

In this case we'll name it NEPAL Presets (or any preset pack you've downloaded):

Footstep #4 | CREATE AND SAVE YOUR PRESETS

Go into the album containing your newly imported DNG files. Open the get-go file:

Side by side you will run into the New Preset screen (shown below) which contains all the options you lot can apply to customise your preset.

You can give your preset a name, or use the preset names we've suggested (highly recommended) and add it into a Preset Group in Lightroom.

Create a new preset group (ie. TCW NEPAL Presets) - we recommend this if y'all have a lot of presets and desire to keep them organised. Alternatively, if you're not worried nearly grouping them together, y'all can also salvage them directly to your User Presets folders

The checkboxes below determine which picture settings you'd similar to save with this preset. Simply the settings you choose hither will be applied to the pictures you edit with this preset in the future.

We personally check all boxes except for Tools, Eyes and Geometry - these parameters vary from pic to motion picture so at that place's no need to transfer these across.

When you're done with the settings save your preset by borer on the tick icon at the peak right corner.

Repeat this footstep for each DNG file every bit y'all will demand to salvage each preset separately.

When you've completed the actions for all presets, yous're washed and ready to apply your presets!

STEP #five | USING YOUR NEW PRESETS

To use your new presets only go back into your library and open whatsoever photograph y'all'd similar to edit.

Observe the Presets icon in the menu at the bottom of the screen and tap on information technology.

Brand certain the Preset Grouping that'south selected is the ane where you saved your new presets (ie. TCW NEPAL PRESETS).

If you saved them in the User Presets group, select that.

Now you can edit the photo by tapping on a preset from the list and so borer on the checkmark.

You can still go along to edit the photo and brand adjustments if yous similar (like exposure, white balance) after yous've practical the preset.

LIGHTROOM MOBILE PRESETS EDITING TIPS

Please note that considering every image is different, you'll most likely demand to tweak basic settings after applying a filter such equally effulgence, temperature/white balance and colours etc.

We typically increase exposure, change the warmth, and so tweak the green/magenta tint until a photo looks correct.

If y'all find that the peel tones look too orangish fifty-fifty after changing white balance, desaturate the orangish within the HSL sliders.

You can do all this within the Lightroom app, adjusting settings until you're 100% happy with the outcome.

We're confident that our presets should crave a minimal amount of editing to achieve our signature look though!

Once you're done, post to Instagram, Facebook or your IG stories!

Nosotros also highly recommend bankroll upward all of the presets up on your laptop or external difficult drive after downloading.
