Install instructions in English for Adobe Lightroom Preset

My « Presets » for Lightroom (also called Presets) are for sale here … They are also compatible with Adobe Camera Raw (Photoshop ACR plug-in). I recall the installation procedure below, for the three Adobe software that allow you to use them :

• Adobe Lightroom Classic (after version 9.3 June 2020)
• Adobe Lightroom (Cloud)
• Adobe Camera Raw (the ACR module built into Photoshop)

If you have any question or problem, please do not hesitate to contact me here.  Thank you.

Warning: these Presets ans profiles are not compatible with Lightroom 6 and previous versions : in definitive licenses without subscription.

Installation in  Photoshop’s Adobe Camera Raw Module on Mac and PC : Manual method. WARNING : I recommend that ACR users preferably use the manual method, (described above for Lightroom Classic).

But if you do not have Lightroom: it is the same to manually drop the profiles (or the entire Profiles folders, it doesn’t matter) in the appropriate “Settings” folder, which was previously created by Adobe in your system. And here are the paths on Mac and PC :

On Mac :    UserName > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Camera Raw > Settings

Place the profile folders directly in it. Or profiles out of their file: it’s the same.

On PC :    C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\Settings

Place the profile folders directly in it. Or profiles out of their file: it’s the same.

The little trick :  in addition to the Presets which will be useful to you, you can download the « separator files » which are optional (depending on the case, they are already in your downloaded folder, or to be downloaded separately).

In this example on the right, they are named: 400.xmp, 416.xmp, 417.xmp, etc … (this example is for Profiles, but it’s the same for Presets).

Another example below, the aspect of separators in Adobe Camera Raw (020.xmp, 030.xmp, 100.xmp) …

In practice these « files » are useless … But they serve as « visual separator » in your list of profiles (possibly crowded). As you can see from my example (lots of profiles for other devices).

So, I recommend that you download and add these « separators »: so that they improve your navigation.

However, if you don’t like the idea: you can safely remove them.

If you have any question or problem, please do not hesitate to contact me here.

Thank you.
