2 Simple Ways to Install Presets in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR)

By Gayle Vehar on December 13, 2021 | No Comments

How to Install Presets in ACR

Adobe has recently made installing and using presets in Photoshop's Adobe Camera Raw much easier.  This post will share two simple ways to install your presets in ACR.

How to Install Lightroom Presets Directly in ACR

Recently, Adobe has added a very simple way to install your Lightroom Presets into ACR.  Just follow these steps to add any of your presets for use in Photoshop.

First, download your new Pretty Presets zip file. 

Then, open a photo in Photoshop. In the menus at the top of Photoshop, choose Filter>Camera Raw Filter.

Next, click on the presets icon on the right of Camera Raw (two interlocking circles).

Then, click on the three dots “...” at the top of the Presets Panel. From the options that open, choose “Import Profiles and Presets.”

Navigate to the ZIPPED preset file you downloaded.  Highlight the file and click “Import.” You’re done! Your presets will be installed.

It may seem like I typed the wrong Adobe program above.  However, when you install presets into Lightroom (not Classic—the desktop app), your presets will appear in several programs, including Photoshop's ACR and the Lightroom Mobile app.

To install presets into Lightroom, follow the instructions below:

Download your new Pretty Presets zip file. Then, open Lightroom CC and click on an image. 

Next, go to File>Import Develop Profiles and Presets.

Last, navigate to the ZIPPED preset file you downloaded. Highlight the file and click “Import.” You’re done! Your presets will be installed in three places at once!

How to Apply Presets in ACR

Open the Presets Panel by clicking the two interlocking circles on the far right of Adobe Camera Raw. Use the small triangle to open the folder. Click a preset in the folder to apply the preset to the image.

Adobe has made it so simple to have your presets available across several Adobe platforms.  Now that the process is so simple, It makes sense that your presets should be in all the places you can use them!
