presets do not have any impact on the photos

Hi All,


My friend shared presets via e-mail as Jpg format. I uploaded them to lightroom and tried to save as preset or coppied the settings and pasted on my photos but both ways I have no success. I also converted the Jpgs as DNG file but still don't work. She said that she also received the same e mail and it worked for her. 

My question is can a preset can be shared as Jpg format? Am i doing something wrong?

 

Thanks,

Merve

Hi Merve,

Thanks for reaching out. We are here to help.

 

That is a great question; let me see if I can clarify that. JPEG is a flat and lossy compressed file with minimal pixel information, and sharing JPEG as a preset does not work, while it can be used to showcase how a preset will turn out after applying to an image. Presets can be shared as DNG files which include the image and the values of a preset.

 

If you have the DNG presets, check this discussion thread and let us know if this helps: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-ecosystem-cloud-based-discussions/import-dng-presets-in-lightroom-mobile/td-p/10075090

 

We hope this helps,

It only works if you export a DNG from Lightroom. Lightroom will save the adjustment settings in the metadata of the DNG in that case. Lightroom does not save adjustment settings in metadata when you export to JPEG however, so converting this JPEG to DNG is useless. It won't bring back the settings.
