A Preset is a predetermined configuration of slider positions to help you quickly achieve a certain look for your photos.
To get presets to your mobile device, you need to import them into the Lightroom Desktop App. Once imported, they sync automatically to the cloud and then to the Lightroom mobile app.
In the Lightroom Desktop application, click File > Import Profiles & Presets.
Navigate to the folder containing the presets you would like to import, select them, and click Import.
Once the preset has been imported, you can see it by clicking the Presets button which can be seen in Edit mode. Lightroom has created a folder called User Presets, which now contains the imported preset.
At this point, make sure that you are logged in with the same Adobe ID to both the Lightroom desktop and mobile app versions so Lightroom can sync the imported preset to the cloud and across your devices.
Open Lightroom on your mobile device and select a photo to edit. At the bottom, tap Presets.
Tap the downward facing arrowhead to see more presets categories and select User Presets.
Here you can see the preset that was imported in the Lightroom desktop app can now be used in the Lightroom mobile app.
