STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO INSTALL LIGHTROOM PRESETS
1. Download the preset on your phone. It will usually be a .dng file.
2. Open the Lightroom Mobile app.
3. Tap the photo button at the bottom right corner to open up a new photo.
4. Choose the .dng file that you have downloaded.
5. Once that photo is imported, tap on it and then the three dots on the top right corner of your screen (pictured below).
6. Choose Create Preset.

7. Title this preset with whatever you prefer.
8. Hit the check symbol to save the preset.
9. All done! Now you will find this preset when you go into the User Presets in your app.
