How to install presets in the latest version of Adobe Lightroom CC (Mac & Windows)

Last Updated on August 5, 2019

So you want to install presets in Adobe Lightroom CC? It’s easy!

Please note that the presets downloaded from Contrastly are compatible with Lightroom 4, 5, 6, CC, and Classic CC as well as the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw (ACR 10.3+).

The presets can also be synced to the Lightroom iOS and Android mobile apps, but they need to be installed on a computer first in order to sync them

First of all, this document assumes you have downloaded the ZIP file that contains the presets from your Contrastly Account Dashboard. If you’re having issues with the Safari browser unzipping files automatically, please read this quick guide on how to prevent that.

Installing the presets in the latest version of Lightroom CC is very easy. Here’s how:

  1. Download the ZIP file from your Contrastly Account Dashboard.
  2. Open Lightroom CC (cloud-based, version 2.3) and click the Edit icon in the top right
  3. At the bottom of the screen you will see a Presets button, click it
  4. This will reveal the Presets panel
  5. At the top of the Presets panel, click the 3-dot icon and select Import Presets
  6. Select the Contrastly zip file and import it into Lightroom
  7. Once the import is complete, you will see all the preset folders in your Presets panel

I hope the installation went well! You are now ready to start using the presets. Of course if you have questions, please let us know.
