Install other LR presets, LR Mobile Only or older LR versions!

Here's to Install Develop Presets for Lightroom 2022. Start with this main video if you use Lightroom Classic or CC on Desktop. If you only use LR Mobile or an older version scroll down. NOTE: regardless of version, make sure you UNZIP your main downloaded folder before trying to install the folders, or zipped up presets packs that are contained inside  if it.

The below video is for Installing Lightroom Mobile presets in 2022 without a desktop.

Yes, directly downloading and installing presets for Lightroom mobile with no silly workarounds. (Note that you will need a paid version of LR Mobile, not a free version to use this feature.) NOT that this may not be fully working on IOS versions yet and you may still need to install via desktop as shown in the main video above..

Watch the video below if you're using an older version of LR, or you need to install Adjustment brushe presets.
This video is about updating your preset packs and deleting old presets you no longer need.

Index.dat file --- If after these videos your presets still won't delete are are doing crazy things, you can also delete the index.dat files that you find inside the /CameraRaw/Settings folder. These files can sometimes be damaged and cause odd lightroom problems. Deleting them will not cause you to lose any image files.

Camera RAW presets --- If you’ve installed the presets in Lightroom CC 7.3 or later using the method above for LR, they “should” show up in Camera Raw automatically. In Photoshop presets are used from the Camera Raw folder, not the action panel. If you have never used presets in Camera Raw see the "Photoshop help panel" for a video on using presets in Photoshop.

Develop Presets are stored here after LR 7.3

  • Mac: User / Library / Application Support / Adobe / Camera Raw / Settings
  • Win:  Users \ UserName \ App Data \ Roaming \ Adobe \ CameraRaw \ Settings

Note: There can also be presets in the /ImportedSettings directory in the same /CameraRaw folder.


Who is Seim?

I'm Gavin Seim and I started studying photography in 1997.

As digital arrived, I went all in. I got to study with masters like Ken Whitmire. In 2009 I founded the Pro Photo Show podcast and eventually my YouTube channel. I started creating the professional developing presets when Lightroom V1 launched. Then Capture One Styles, Photoshop Actions and photography courses.


20+ years in the trenches earned me a Masters (M.Photog) from PPA. I've been featured, won a few awards and now I live in Mexico exploring the magical light of the South while creating new tools and searching for shadows.

You're rightly skeptical on online photography tools in a market filled with junk. That's why all sales are NOT FINAL here. I guarantee every tool and workshops 100% with a 31 day No-Regrets Guarantee!  

There's lots of videos and free stuff on the blog too. Look around. If you have questions I'm here to help, just send me a message | Gavin Seim
