Installing Your Pretty Presets in Adobe Lightroom CC

Installing Your Lightroom Presets in the Lightroom CC Desktop App

Installing Presets in Lightroom CC

Adobe recently released a new version of Lightroom - Lightroom CC.  This version of Lightroom has a web-based application, mobile application, and a desktop version.  Currently, this version (Lightroom CC) is not as powerful as Lightroom Classic (the desktop version we have used and loved for many years)!

Even though it isn't quite as powerful as Lightroom Classic, we have found that you CAN use your Lightroom presets in this version AND in the mobile versions of Lightroom Creative Cloud as well.  This version of Lightroom still does NOT have the ability to use adjustment brushes or brush presets.  We are definitely hopeful that this feature will come soon.

Step 4.

To apply your presets in Lightroom, select an image and click on the three horizontal lines on the right-side of the screen.  Click the Presets button at the bottom of the panel and use the small arrow to the left of the collection name to open the folder of presets.  Click a preset in the folder to apply it.
