But with Adobe’s newly minted cross-platform support for develop presets, you can carry your presets with you wherever you go simply by clicking a button. So how do we get the presets from our computers to our Lightroom Mobile app? Until recently we could do it only by using some unofficial workarounds. This means we can take ALL of our develop presets (purchased and self-made) with us on our mobile devices, which is a huge deal for those of us who use presets for the bulk of our photo editing. But in June 2018 Adobe upped the ante by fully integrating develop presets into the Lightroom Mobile application. Even the means to post-process our digital images has been ramped up to the point where we can do it on our mobile device within minutes (if not seconds) of making the exposure.įor the past couple of years Adobe has done its best to keep pace with the need for mobile-friendly editing with Lightroom Mobile – the mobile device counterpart of the Lightroom CC flavor of our beloved Lightroom Classic.

Our actions are compatible with Photoshop CS6 and later (including CC and 2020), and Elements versions 15 and later. Actions are typically complex and because of this, the use of actions saves a user large amounts of time from having to make each change individually in order to achieve a desired outcome. Actions can be stacked, so that one is run after the other, in order to create more dynamic edits. On average, our presets change 30-50 settings.Īctions are prerecorded sets of multiple software commands, that play one after the other, to make specific changes to an image. Presetsare essentially a configuration of settings, designed to quickly achieve the look of hours of editing, making global changes with a single click.
