About Our AI Preset Toolkits - Compatibility & FAQs

What are AI Presets?  AI presets are one-click tools that work from your presets tab in Lightroom to apply settings changes locally to a very specific attribute as detected by AI in the most up-to-date versions of the Premium (paid subscription) Lightroom Mobile App. These features detect for background, sky, subject(s)/people, and isolate very specific parts of each person (Face Skin, Body Skin, Eyebrows, Iris & Pupil, Lips, Teeth, and Hair) for refined & clean selection of these specific parts of your images. With our AI tools we have combined retouching settings that you would typically apply manually with a local adjustment preset or local adjustment sliders with this advanced AI detection for one-click retouching that feels like magic!

What does the AI do to my image? These presets are neither creative nor destructive. They are not meant to replace or alter the creative process, but rather speed up professional retouching processes via Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning which detect and adapt to apply settings to specific parts of each unique image. These presets utilize AI to replace manual brushing, dialing in and refining, they do not replace your intuition, your eye, or fundamentally alter your art. 

Can I use the AI presets in the free mobile app? Unfortunately, no. AI adaptive presets require a current subscription to Lightroom to function. Your software must be up-to-date to ensure that these presets will function properly and that all current masking features are present! 

My iPhone/iPad is older - will these still work? It depends! Some older devices cannot support these features as they do not have the processing power for the latest AI! 

These iPhones are NOT compatible:
6s, 6s Plus, SE, SE2, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, X, XR

These iPads are NOT compatible:
Mini (4th Gen), Mini (5th Gen), 5th Gen, 6th Gen, 7th Gen, 8th Gen, 9th Gen, Air (2nd Gen), Air (3rd Gen), Pro 9.7

Apple devices on iOS 15.0 and later not included in the above list should support these new features.

How do you install AI Tool Presets? Your new Luxe AI Retouch Toolkit presets will install just like your traditional/general presets with quick whole .zip import of XMPs! 

Do the AI Tool Presets work on iPhone/iPad? Yep! These will work in the Premium Lightroom Mobile app on iOS, iPadOS, and Android! 

How do I use this type of preset? These are super simple to use (they work just like regular presets)! However, we’ll walk through using this collection in detail just-in-case! 

 

How to use the Luxe AI Retouch Toolkit for Mobile

Simply download and import on iOS or Android! Our new Artificial Intelligence powered preset collections are considered retouching toolkits, but function with just one-click from your preset menu just like all your other presets! 

These presets apply localized background, sky, subject-specific corrections that can be applied before or after you edit your image with a global (or full image) preset, or custom toning in Lightroom. 

We typically recommend getting your ideal edit right first before applying the tools to ensure they correct tones and atmosphere in alignment with your ideal final edit! You can always change your full image edit or preset edit later, without it affecting any of your AI edits! 

Here's a quick walkthrough featuring an image from the amazing Sarah Dowell: 

 

How to use the AI presets in Lightroom Mobile (Premium, Paid Subscription App) 

If you are new to editing on mobile, or new to using AI or Adaptive Presets in Lightroom mobile, we recommend reading over the info provided at the top of this article that breaks down the collection tools and compatibility, in detail!

First, launch the Lightroom Premium App and open the image you would like to edit. Click "Presets" on the bottom toolbar and locate the preset group your created/saved your Luxe AI Retouch Toolkit presets to under "Yours"! 

1. Click through to preview and apply an AI Preset :
   
   
   Preset effect too strong or not strong enough? Adjust Preset "Strength" by clicking the preset thumbnail image and sliding the "Amount Slider" to taste, then click check to apply: 
   
   
   
2. Want to remove applied effects or change one?  You can Update/Compute Applied AI Masks Under "Masking".  After applying any desired presets with the checkmark, click the "Masking" icon on your bottom editing toolbar to view and adjust any applied masks:
   
   
   
   Applied an Adaptive Multi that adjusted face and body skin, but want to delete just face or just body adjustments? Or used the beautify preset but want to remove iris, sclera, or teeth masks? Click through the mask layers and the nestled squares to see the zones the specific masks cover highlighted in red, when you've found the one you want to delete, simply click on the little trash can icon on the left. Pull the Masking layers panel left to see the preset names and more detailed options. You can also hold down on a mask layer and toggle visibility temporarily! 
   
   See an ! Error on one of your masks, or it didn't show a preview you when you applied the preset to your image in the Presets menu? If you see a Mask with a ! error, it will reveal a buried square with that same ! error icon, click on that square to prompt a pop-up to explain what went wrong:
