Installing Lightroom Presets
Lightroom Presets are custom filters that make editing photos a breeze, creating consistency across your imagery and helping you to develop your signature visual style.
When installing Lightroom presets, you will be saving the preset from a .DNG file – an image that has the preset already applied to it.
This process can be done completely with just your iPhone by following the steps below. You can also download the preset file to your desktop, unzip and individually AirDrop them to your iPhone – start with step 3 if you choose this route.
