How to Install Lightroom Presets PLUS Review of Fix The Photo Presets

Lightroom Presets.  There’s no doubt that you’ve heard of them, maybe tried some of them, and possibly even created your own.  Presets can help speed up your workflow as well as help you create a consistent look among your photos.  They are relatively easy to use and in this post, I’m going how you how to install new presets into Adobe Lightroom and share my experience using a set of Landscape Lightroom Presets provided by a company called Fix the Photo. 

Recently I had a representative from Fix the photo (www.fixthephoto.com) reach out to me and ask me if I would give some of their presets a try and share my experience using them.  In the spirit of transparency, Fix The Photo did provide me with a free set of their Landscape Presets that cost $29 on their website and can be found here:  Landscape Presets  There are also some FREE presets that you can try out here:  Fix The Photo FREE Presets

Who Is Fix the Photo?

Fix the Photo (www.fixthephoto.com) is a company that has been providing photo retouching services and professional photo editing since 2003.  They have a wide variety of services to offer that include things such as portrait retouching, wedding photo editing, photo restoration, product retouching to name a few.  Check out their website to see all of the services they offer.

Lets Get to the Presets!

Presets are a great way to get started editing your image.  They speed up the editing process by applying specific settings to your image.  Many times when editing a set of photos there are some basic settings that we use as part of our image style.  Instead of having to select all of these develop settings manually, the preset can apply these settings in one click.  From there, I’ll usually make some additional tweaks to an image before I’m finished.

If you’re new to presets, the first thing you need to do is download the new presets.  Once you’ve downloaded them, the next step is to get them into Lightroom.  I’ll be using Lightroom CC  on a MacBook Pro and there are several different ways to import them.  Adobe Lightroom has now switched preset files from .lrtemplate file types to .XMP file types for presets and I’m going to show you how to import the .lrtemplate files.


02_Preferences Menu.png

Step 1:

Open Lightroom!  Once in Lightroom, select β€˜Lightroom’ from the top left of the menu bar.  Then select β€˜Preferences’.

Step 2:

Next, select the tab that says β€˜Presets’.  About half way down the window under β€˜Location’ select β€˜Show All Other Lightroom Presets’.  We need to use this option since the preset files we have are in the .lrtemplate format.  Finder will now open with the location you need to place the presets.

Step 3:

You should now be in the β€˜Lightroom’ folder in Finder.  Within that folder, select β€˜Develop Presets’.   Simply Copy (Cmd + C) and Paste (Cmd + V) the entire folder of presets you want to add into this location.  Close Finder after you paste in the presets.

Step 4:

Converted to XMP Message.png

Jumping back into Lightroom, close the program and reopen it.  Go back into the Develop module and to the β€˜Presets’ tab.  Lightroom will likely give you a quick message that it is converting the new preset files from .lrtemplate to .xmp files.  It will also copy the new preset file types into the new preset directory for Lightroom CC.  When Lightroom is finished, you will see the message that all presets were converted to XMP.

Step 5:

Give the new presets a try!  You should now see the folder of presets you added under the β€˜Presets’ tab.  For me the folder is called  Landscape Presets_Fix the Photo_Paid


Using Fix The Photo Presets

My first impression of the Fix The Photos Presets is that they are pretty well organized.  They are numbered from 1-30, titled as β€˜Landscape’ presets and have a brief description of what the preset does.  The descriptions are clear and pretty straight forward.

The best way to try the a preset is select a photo, apply each preset to the photo, then see how it looks.  One great feature in Lightroom is the ability to hover overtop of a preset name and then Lightroom will show a preview of that preset without having to apply the preset to the image.  This allows you to quickly move through a variety of presets to determine which you like best.  

Generally you will find certain presets you like and certain presets you don’t like so much.  Maybe you like the faded desaturated look.  Or maybe you like the bright airy look.  I always look at presets as a good starting point for your images.  It helps the image go from flat and boring to having some style to it super quick.  Then to make it your own, further tweak the image based on how you want the image to feel.

I tried the presets on a bunch of different photos and I chose several photos to show you here.  I kept coming back to the β€˜Film’, β€˜Cinematic’ and β€˜Drama’ presets.  Once I selected these presets, I’d go ahead and apply a few more corrections to get the image just where I wanted it.

When using presets, you will find that not all presets will work on all images.  Some presets work better on bright sunny photos while other work better on dark moody photos.  Trial and error is the only what to see what will work on a particular photos type.  

If you are looking to give some presets a try, I’d recommend stopping by www.fixthephoto.com and downloading some of their free presets to try.  If you like the free ones, trying picking up one of their paid sets of presets.  Here are links to both the free landscape presets and the paid landscape preset package that was provided to me.

I’d like to thank Fix The Photo for reaching out to me and sending me some of their landscape presets to try.  I enjoyed trying the different looks on my images.  I think they are quality presets that deliver value to any photographer and help speed up your editing workflow.
