How to Install Lightroom Presets in 2025 (The Fast & Free Way)

Installing Lightroom presets shouldn’t feel like a chore — yet the old method involves too many steps, folders, and file types.
Let’s be honest:
Digging through Adobe folders…
Manually importing .XMP
or .DNG
files…
Doing it all over again on every device…
It’s frustrating, especially if you just want to start editing.
