Dana Point Photography | How to use and apply my presets?
The presets I created a few months back have been a huge hit. All good reviews and with a little help they are super easy to work with. Super easy to turn your plain iPhone images to bright and airy! Here are some simple instructions for using these on your phone with the free Lightroom app.
Installing your New Presets
Step 1: Save image (Bright White Presets.dng) attached here to your phone photo gallery.
Step 2: Open the Lightroom Mobile CC App
This step is really easy. Just open your free Lightroom app. Once it's open, you can add the DNG/Preset files (next step).
Step 3: Add the DNG/Preset Files - To add a preset, click on the (...) Settings option in the top-right corner of the app.
Choose the Add Photos option.
On the next screen, choose the location you will be pulling your DNG/Preset files from. If you have saved them to your phone, choose "From Camera Roll". If you have saved them to a cloud storage option, choose "From Files".
Select the DNG/Preset file you would like to import. NOTE: Preset files are DNG files. When you initially open the image, you may get an error that says, “Cannot Load File”. This is normal. Press the check mark in the corner anyway.
Step 5: Create Lightroom Presets from the DNG Files.
Click on one of the newly imported files, then click on the three dots inside a circle in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. From there, choose “Create Preset” from the menu that appears. Give your preset a name. We recommend to type the same name that is on the front of the preset image (to keep things simple). You should also put the preset in a Preset Group. By default, it will be in the User Presets group. Creating a new group with your new collection’s name will keep the presets from each collection together.
Using Your New Presets
Now for the FUN part!
Select an image in the Lightroom Mobile App that you would like to edit. Swipe left on the bottom options until you see "Presets" and tap on that option. It will open with your most recently used preset collection. By tapping on the collection name, you can choose the new collection you just installed.
Click on the preset you'd like to use. When you are finished adding your preset, click the check mark in the lower right corner.
NOTE: Our presets will not change your exposure or white balance, since those settings can vary with each image. We encourage you to make those adjustments as necessary after choosing your preset. For this preset I suggest lifting your exposure quite a bit to give you the bright and airy look.
