BEFORE you download your files, check compatibility info on the product page!
Note: AI Toolkits will NOT work in older versions of Lightroom Classic. If you purchased AI presets and cannot update your software to the latest version on your computer, please reach out to support@theluxelens.com prior to downloading your files. 

If you have not purchased an AI-only collection, you will proceed to download the XMP files from your Luxe Download link as a .zip file. Unzip/Extract by right-clicking and selecting "Extract All" on Windows, or double click to unzip on Mac (Safari may auto-unzip safe files).

STEP 1: INSTALL YOUR PRESETS MANUALLY VIA THE ADOBE CAMERA RAW > SETTINGS FOLDER

Open the Camera Raw > Settings Folder on your computer via the following file pathway:

• Mac Users: Users>YOUR NAME>Library>Application Support>Adobe>Camera Raw> Settings

On Mac, you may need to press ⌘ + G or shift + ⌘ + G and paste the above path into the Go To sheet, as the User Library folder may not be visible.

• Windows Users:  C:>Users-[your user name]>AppData>Roaming>Adobe>Camera Raw>Settings

Once Step 1 is complete, go to step 2. If you have trouble finding the Settings Folder, go to Step 1B.  

STEP 1B: INSTALL YOUR PRESETS MANUALLY. AN ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF FINDING THE ADOBE CAMERA RAW > SETTINGS FOLDER 

• Windows Users: Open Lightroom Classic CC > Go to the Edit dropdown > click on Preferences.
• MAC Users: Open Lightroom Classic CC > Go to the Lightroom dropdown > click on Preferences.

Then, click on the Presets tab > click on Show Lightroom Develop Presets  

If the "Settings" folder isn't automatically highlighted, you will select the Camera Raw folder (not the Lightroom folder). The Settings folder will be inside of the Camera Raw folder. The Settings folder is where you will place your .xmp (not .lrt) preset files in the next step

Once Step 1B is complete, go to step 2.

STEP 2: PLACE YOUR PRESETS IN THE CAMERA RAW > SETTINGS FOLDER

Find the folder containing your .xmp formatted downloads. Take care to only select the preset collection folder and not the brush collection folder – your download will include both.

Add your selected .xmp formatted collection folder to the Camera Raw > Settings folder by using the copy and paste function or drop and drag function on your computer.

Proceed to Step 3.

STEP 3: CLOSE AND RE-OPEN LIGHTROOM

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

STEP 4: START USING YOUR PRESETS

To access your presets, go to the Develop module and you will see them in the left-hand menu. Click on the name of any preset to apply it to your photo. Please note that you must have a photo loaded in Lightroom in order to see your list of presets.
