Please note: The presets listed in the article have .DNG, .XMP and .LRTEMPLATE formats.
What are Lightroom presets?
A Lightroom preset is a filter with predefined settings and can quickly get you closer to the desired effect. It helps in post-processing or photo editing, saves time and energy and most importantly it allows us to achieve certain looks that are difficult to achieve.
Remember, a Lightroom preset is not a magic wand. Sometimes, it might nail it out of the gate, and sometimes it might not. What it does do though is get you closer to the desired effect very quickly and then you can change it to your vision.
Lightroom Mobile Presets (.DNG) vs Lightroom Desktop Presets (.XMP)?
Lightroom Mobile presets are images that come with predefined settings. The free presets you download from the links below will have both .DNG and .XMP formats To use them on mobile, you need to copy the settings from the .DNG files and paste them into your photos that you want to edit in the Lightroom mobile app.
Where Lightroom desktop presets are not images they are files and exported in XMP format by Adobe Lightroom Classic. Mobile presets are created in Lightroom Classic and they are exported in .DNG format so that we can use them in the Lightroom mobile app.
Where Lightroom desktop presets are not images they are files and exported in XMP format by Adobe Lightroom Classic. Mobile presets are created in Lightroom Classic and they are exported in .DNG format so that we can use them in the Lightroom mobile app. Whether it's a mobile or desktop preset, they both work the same but the difference is that you need DNG files to use on mobile whereas Lightroom CC and Classic support .XMP format. Also, you need a Creative Cloud subscription plan to use presets on desktop but no subscription plan is required when using presets in the free Lightroom mobile app.
