So you do not have to hunt through the growing number of uploads, posts and presets, here are all the presets (and actions) available in one convenient location. All presets work with LR2, all versions of ACR, Elements 6 & 7. Actions work for PhotoShop CS3 and 4. Please note: Presets are for RAW files, they are not the same as actions and will not load in the actions panel nor will they work well with JPEGs if you use LR or if you open your JPEGS in Adobe Bridge.
Mediafire note: We use Mediafire to host our files at ibfb. Some people have problems with the download. Others get their files as text files. You can still use the text files. You must manually change the file extensions to the correct ones (removing “.txt”). For ACR the extension is “.xmp” and for LR it is “.lrtemplate” – this should fix that problem.

Hi there! I sent you a message on flickr.
I cant wait to try your presets!
Mandy
Hi again! Forgot to tell you which one…. I need the Lightroom presets! Thank you again!
Mandy
I seem to have the same problem as Lila. Every time I download your fabulous presets I get them as text files.
Can you provide a work around?
Thank you
Jeffrey
hi Jeffrey. I figured out Lila’s problem. You need to go to the file you downloaded and change the file extension name from ” . txt” to “.lrtemplate” The problem is your computer thinks they are text files not templates, so that’s how it saves them. Do this now and in the future they should all download properly.
Cheers,
T.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have PSE 7 and I have downloaded the presets to my desktop but I cannot open them in elements. They are downloaded as dng file. Is this what I need. I went to your download information page but my elements does not look like the sample. Sorry to be a bother…
[…] Free Presets & Actions […]
Jenneil, the DNG Files are used with other RAW or DNG files – you need to be shooting in RAW to use them. They’re not like actions. You *may* need to install the ACR plug in – but I thought it came with Elements 7?
I can’t get these to download at all!!!=(
Which would you like, Tiffany, and for which program – acr or lightroom?
Lightroom, I would love the starbucks & the afterglow please!!Thanks so much.How do I give you my email?
I just sent them to you, Tiffany!

Hi..I am trying to work with the overlay but am unsure how to use a .png file in lightroom? Any help would be great. Thanks for these!

Hi Jenny. I’ll see if I can get Harold to answer your questions as I’m not a LR user!
Cheers,
T
Hi again, Jenny. Unfortunately you can’t use overlays in LR. You need Photoshop 😦
I know this will sound like the musings of a naive beginner but I’m just using Elements for the first time over the past month or so. If I download some of these presets, is there a “presets for dummies” explanation someone can give me as to how use them? ((ducks and cowers)) 🙂
Hi Leslie!
For Elements you need to be sure you get the presets for Elements – they are labelled as such. There are instructions on how to install them in this post, that should help. You don’t have as much control with Elements but you get the same effect to start with.
Cheers,
T
Hi Raceytray
You have a great colection of presets here on your sigt. fantastic job.
You might be interested in a few I have on my blog http://eseaphoto.wordpress.com/adobe-lightroom-presets/ I am slowly building it up and there will be more to come.
Forgive my ignorance…but….if I shoot in raw I can use the actions for PSE..right?…..but if I shoot in raw can I use regular actions for PSE still? I really love your actions and it is killing me…..I wanna use them…lol
Wonderful presets, very impressive. I was able to download most of them for Lightroom, but the one I want most – Starbucks – won’t work. Can you send it to me?
Thanks! Your hard work is much appreciated!
Oh dear, I think I figured it out ! I just got Lightroom today so I’m a little new to this :-).
loooooove the presets…thankyou!! totally what i needed!
Okay, I am ignorant. I see that these presets are for camera raw only. Then I saw a page where it looked like you wrote an action for jpg like a preset, as close as possible. I downloaded them and they played some on my pse 7…except that “make is not available” came up. Then I saw it’s for CS3 and 4.
Then I downloaded some of the PSE files. They are images with the camera raw. Open and they become an image for editing.
Are these just images to be played with?
I saw some awesome images on Flickr that were attributed to you, so thought they were actions.
Thanks.
Hi Betty.
Yes, the actions will only work with CS3&4. The Raw files (dng) for PSE are used to make other photos that look like the photo you downloaded.
I posted the instructions on how to use the raw / presets in PSE here:
Essentially you are opening a file I made using the preset, setting the defaults in PSE to those from the file / image. Closing that image, and opening your own raw image. The preset you opened previously will now be applied to the image you’re opening presently. And will until you open another and do the steps to reset the defaults.
I hope that makes sense!
T
Thanks,
I did find the instructions tonight before I found this reply. Now I am “digesting” them.
I do have one additional question.
There is a download available for Camera Raw and Photoshop Elements. Do I download both?
From your instructions:
If you want to apply a different preset, however, you will have to repeat step one. Presets themselves do not load into Elements, but dng files, which contain all the information found in RAW files will load. I suggest making a copy preset somewhere in the event you make a change to the preset/dng file and want to revert back to the original.
Please explain how to make a copy of the preset/dng file (are you talking about the download?).
Sorry to be so dense, but there have been too many summers! Betty
Hi Betty, yes, when talking about making a copy I mean the preset DNG file. If you make a change to a DNG (preset file) when it is in PSE then you change the preset. I would keep a copy of it somewhere – or come back here and redownload if you must.
I’m sorry, I’m not sure what plugin you need to download for PSE. I usually tell Photoshop to ‘check for new downloads / plugins” and let it to the work for me.
T
Thank you very much for all those nice goodies ! I’m waiting for my Lightroom to be delivered and I can’t wait to star playing with those. Thanks for sharing your talent and hard work !
You’re welcome, ninigoesdigi!

Hi borges. Which version – LR or ACR. And what is not working? The actual file or the download?
T
Lightroom, I would love the starbucks ,I’m so excited to see your message.Thanks so much.
I just sent it to you, borges!
Hi 🙂
I have downloaded one of your lovely presets [thanx by the way] and followed your instruction on how to load it. My question is after I open Photoshop where should I go to use the presets for ACR?
Thanx ^_^
Hi Rana!
When you open a RAW file in PhotoShop, the ACR plug-in will start, the presets are in the last tab across the top.
The instructions on where to load the presets for use can be found in this post:
Cheers,
Tracey
Wow! I have just come across your site and am in love with your presets. Thank you so much for your generosity and kindness of spirit to provide these for free.

Hello! I was sent to your lovely page by a contact friend of mine. Your presets are lovely and you’re so kind to offer them free-of-charge. 🙂
I’m wondering – will the presets work with the new version, LR3? I see that you’ve mentioned they will work with LR2.
Many thanks again! 🙂
Claudia
They will, Claudia. I believe all LR2 presets work with LR3 – but I’m using LR3 myself and have had no problems.
Thank-you very much! You’re very right! I downloaded and used “Afterglow” and it worked perfectly. 🙂
Hi

Hi,
I just found your presets and I am SO excited to use them. Unfortunately, the only ones that I have been able to download successfully are the Christmaseh ones. All others are downloaded as txt files. Would you please send me sunflared, faded blooms, afterglow and starbucks?
Thank you so much!
Jaye
Hi Jayne
You need to remove the “.txt” extension from the files and they will work – your computer is ‘seeing’ them as text files. From above:
“You must manually change the file extensions to the correct ones (removing “.txt”). For ACR the extension is “.xmp” and for LR it is “.lrtemplate” – this should fix that problem.”
hello i donloaded your preset but i cant use it.. i dont know how to change it from lrtemplate hope you help me thanx

Hi,
I can`t open the Preset for ACR /PS than i downloaded i get txt i trie change txt to irtemplate how you set but maybe i`m not undrstand there need make manual changes. Can you send me by e-mail please.
Dom
Hi Dom – for acr/ps you have to change the endings to “xmp” – lrtemplate (and that is an L not an i) is for Lightroom templates, not for photoshop / adobe camera raw. Can you try that and see if it works?
Tracey
Hello, Thank you for haveing presets to download for free. I am interested in your presets, however, do they work in photoshop elements 8? If so, is there a certain way I need to download the presents to work in elements 8? Michele
Hi Michele. The presets for Elements are identified as such – they are different from the ones for Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom.
The instructions for everything are here, scroll down for Elements:
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you, Racey Tay! It seems that the most successful are also the most generous. These actions took you time and creativity to develop. I really appreciate your sharing them.
Fab to find such inspiring presets after spending some time looking. I seem to only be able to download and install zip files – not using Mediafire. If there was any way you could send any vintage, destaturated presets to me via zip I would be hugely grateful. Keep up the generous spirit – rare and wonderful. As is your photographic talent, Kate.
Thank you so much for your actions! I seem to be having trouble getting them to work in PSE 9. I am able to download as a DNG file but when I try to use the action it says they are not compatible. Any suggestions?

I don’t know why, but I have trouble getting all of your presets into lightroom after DL them onto my desktop. They are txt files. I have no idea what that is or how to change it.
I have a Mac, does that make the difference?
Linda, here are the instructions for this problem (they’re also up at the top of this page for anyone else having this issue)

Yes:

Thank you for a quick reply Tracey, appreciate that. Do these presets work on Jpeg and Raw or are they format specific. I usually work only on Raw format. I have checked the file names and a few of them are prefixed with the word ‘Jpeg’, I am guessing the ones which are not prefixed with the word Jpeg can be used on Raw format ? Thanks
Hello again
Yes, JPEG means they have been modified for JPEG files, everything else is for use on RAW files (I only shoot in RAW but there was demand for the modified versions).
Cheers,
Tracey
Hi there…thank you for all of your amazing presets. It seems the ones in packages (the black pack and the magical pack) won’t download to my mac. I am using ACR. If you could help me out that would be great.
Wow, I just learned about ACR presets and then there was you!!!! Thanks for the awesome list!
Will these work with PSE9 and Lightroom3.2? I love your work and would love to try some…
Hi Nancy, Not sure -I do not use either of those, but they probably will.
Cheers,
Tracey
hiya, I’m having trouble with the presets, I think it could be because i use a mac, but then again so do a lot people.. so once i DL these, the txt box is appearing, but not the template’s themselves.. .. and I cant find it if specify’s if this is for windows or macs or both? any help would be much appreciated as Im really excited about DL some of the gorgeous presets you have
Hi there.
Do you mean you are getting text “txt” files? if yes, do this, as per the post at the top of the page:
Mediafire note: We use Mediafire to host our files at ibfb. Some people have problems with the download. Others get their files as text files. You can still use the text files. You must manually change the file extensions to the correct ones (removing “.txt”). For ACR the extension is “.xmp” and for LR it is “.lrtemplate” – this should fix that problem.
Amazing! thanks.
Thank you for the opportunity to download these presets. I look forward to trying them out. Your generosity is very much appreciated!
Great work. I am sure they will prove very useful. Thanks a lot for sharing.

THANK YOUUUUUU so so much for sharing your skills 🙂
Hiya! I just wanted to say thank you for providing these presets. I have been a fan of yours for quite some time. I never even thought of using ACR to begin the processing…well, process! I am so happy with the results already and I’m excited to learn more about this method. I’m finally getting the look in my photos that I envisioned in my head 🙂 Thanks again.
thank you ❤
Hi! I am new to the preset/actions world. I have successfully installed actions into my PSE program. Are presets installed the same way? Or do they go into a different folder? Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Mentioned this, here: http://www.msnowphotography.com/blog/2012/9/post-processing-and-400-likes
I see presets work best for LR2 … How about LR 4?
Thank you!
I was so excited to find this! Trying to learn ACR rather than buying LR, as I hear it’s basically identical! Anyway, when I download the files for ACR, they’re dl’ing as .xmp.txt files! How would I install such a thing? Do I resave without the .txt extension and drag to my folder with my other presets? Or am I doing something else wrong?
Thanks so much for sharing these links!
Hi there
Instructions on fixing the txt issue can be found at the top of the main presets page
cheers
tracey
Thank you! I read the last sentence of that paragraph…knew that presets should be .xmp… never read the rest! Thanks!
