How to Use These Free Lightroom Presets

Once you download your presets, using them is simple. After installation, you’ll be able to apply any preset with a single click inside Lightroom.

To apply a preset:

  3. Locate the Presets section on the left side of your workspace.

  4. Click on the preset you want to try.

Presets are meant to be a starting point—so feel free to customize after applying. Each photo is unique depending on lighting, camera settings, and color profile, so a small tweak can make a big difference.

How to Install Free Lightroom Presets Using .XMP Files

Your download includes an .XMP file, which works for both Adobe Lightroom Classic and the desktop version of Lightroom CC. Below is a simple step-by-step guide to installing your presets quickly and correctly.

Installing .XMP Presets in Lightroom Classic

  1. Open Adobe Lightroom Classic on your desktop.

  2. Navigate to the Develop module.

  3. In the left panel, find the Presets section.

  4. Click the + icon next to the Presets panel.

  5. Select Import Presets.

  6. Locate and select the .XMP file(s) you downloaded.

  7. Click Import.

Once imported, your presets will appear under User Presets or in any folder they were organized into. From there, you can apply them to any photo with one click.

Installing .XMP Presets in Lightroom CC (Desktop)

If you prefer editing in Lightroom CC instead of Classic, the process is equally simple:

  1. Open Adobe Lightroom CC.

  2. Click on File → Import Profiles & Presets.

  3. Select the .XMP files from your downloads folder.

  4. Lightroom will automatically import and organize the presets in the “Presets” panel.
