To import XMP presets into Lightroom mobile on your iPhone, you will need to follow a few steps. Please note that this method requires a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud, as it involves syncing with Lightroom Classic CC. Here’s a detailed guide on how to do it:
1. Download the XMP presets: First, you need to download the XMP preset files onto your computer or iPhone. You can find a variety of XMP presets available for purchase or for free on various websites and forums. Make sure to choose presets that are compatible with Lightroom mobile.
2. Import the presets into Lightroom Classic CC: Open Lightroom Classic CC on your computer and navigate to the Develop module. In the left panel, you will find the Presets tab. Right-click on this tab and select “Import Presets.” Browse and select the XMP preset files you downloaded earlier. Lightroom will now import the presets into your library.
3. Apply the presets to photos: Now that the presets are imported, you can apply them to your photos in Lightroom Classic CC. Simply select a photo or a batch of photos and go to the Develop module. In the Presets panel on the left, you will find the imported presets. Click on a preset to apply it to the selected photo(s). You can experiment with different presets to find the desired look for your photos.
4. Sync the edited photos to mobile: Once you have edited and applied the presets to your photos in Lightroom Classic CC, you need to sync them with Lightroom mobile on your iPhone. To do this, make sure you are signed in to your Adobe Creative Cloud account. In Lightroom Classic CC, go to the Library module and select the photos you want to sync. Click on the Sync button at the top right corner of the screen. Lightroom will start syncing the edited photos to your Adobe Creative Cloud account.
5. Save the presets on Lightroom mobile: After the photos are synced, open Lightroom mobile on your iPhone. Make sure you are signed in to the same Adobe Creative Cloud account. You will find the synced photos in the All Photos section. Tap on a photo to open it, and then tap on the three-dot menu at the top right corner. From the options, select “Create Preset” and give it a name. This will save the preset on your Lightroom mobile.
Now, you can apply the saved presets to any new photos you import into Lightroom mobile on your iPhone. Simply open a photo, tap on the Edit button, and go to the Presets tab at the bottom. You will find your saved presets there. Tap on a preset to apply it to the photo and adjust the settings as desired.
