This preset feature is especially useful when you need to edit images on the move. When you don’t have access to your Laptop or pc, You want to make sure you have the same presets on your mobile device as well that you had on the pc.

Here is a quick guide on how to export Lightroom presets and how to install them on your other device 👇

1. Export as DNG

  • Open Lightroom on the device from where you want to export the preset.
  • Edit your photo the way you want and create your preset (pc or Android).
  • Now export that edited image with presets as a DNG file. A DNG file keeps the edit information intact in the Image itself. So you only need to export that image as DNG for it to save your preset externally.
