How to apply presets

Apply one or more XMP Lightroom presets to an image, by referencing preset file(s) stored on the cloud.

A preset file can be created by editing an image in Lightroom and exporting it as a .xmp file. Learn more about creating presets.

How to create an XMP file

To create an .xmp file from a set of slider values set directly by a user, start with the empty .xmp file template here and add the corresponding slider values.

In this example, the preset called "Aged Photo" is applied to automatically make the adjustments to achieve the desired effect.

What are Presets?

Presets are pre-configured sets of adjustments that can be applied to images. They allow you to:

• Apply consistent editing styles across multiple images
• Save time by reusing common adjustment combinations
• Share editing styles with others
• Create signature looks for your photography
