BEFORE you download your files, check compatibility info on the product page!
Note: AI Toolkits and XMP-ONLY collections will NOT work in older, perpetual license versions of Lightroom Classic. If you purchased presets offered only in XMP format and do not have an up-to-date Adobe subscription to Lightroom, please reach out to support@theluxelens.com prior to downloading your files. 
 
If you have purchased a collection with LRTEMPLATE files available, you can proceed to download! Here you will find video instructions for manually installing your presets, and text instructions to explain the process.

STEP 1. INSTALL YOUR PRESETS MANUALLY

With Lightroom open, go to:

If you have a PC: Edit > Preferences. If you have a MAC: Lightroom > Preferences.

This will open a new window. In this window, you will see a tab labeled “store presets with this catalog”. Make sure this is unchecked.

Go to the “Presets” tab and click on the “Show Lightroom Presets Folder” button. This will open Adobe folders on your computer.

Click to open the “Lightroom” folder. Then click to open the “Develop Presets” folder.

STEP 2: PASTE IN THE PRESETS

If you have not installed any presets in the past, you will only see a folder called “user presets”. Do not install your presets in the "user presets" folder. If you have installed other presets in the past, you will see them listed in the "develop presets" folder. Copy the presets that you downloaded in step 2 and paste them into the “develop presets” folder. This includes tool and layer presets, but not brushes.

STEP 3: CLOSE AND RE-OPEN LIGHTROOM

Now, completely close Lightroom. When you re-open Lightroom, your presets will be installed.

STEP 4: START USING THE PRESETS

First, make sure that you have a photo loaded, otherwise your presets may not show up in the menu. To access your presets, go to the develop module and you will see them on the left hand side. Click on the name of any preset to apply it to your photo.
