How to install presets in Lightroom Classic Version 7.3+ (.XMP Files)?

Step 1: Download the Lightroom Presets from Preset Studios. They will come in a .zip file.

Step 2: Open Lightroom and go to the Develop Module. Then, click on "File" and choose "Import Develop Profiles and Presets."

Step 3: Find the .zip file you downloaded, or if you’ve already unzipped it, find the folder with the XMP files.

Step 4: Go to the Presets Panel, expand the folder, and click on any preset to apply it to your photo.

Alternative Method (if the above doesn't work):

  1. Open Lightroom Classic.
  2. In the Presets Panel, click the small "+" icon and choose "Import Presets."
  3. Find the .zip file with your presets, and they will install automatically.
  4. Make sure you’re in the Develop Mode to see the Presets tab.

Follow these steps to easily install and start using your Lightroom presets!
