Import DNG preset

Last updated on Jun 5, 2026

Learn how to import downloaded DNG preset files to your Lightroom library.

DNG presets are preset files saved in Adobe’s Digital Negative (DNG) format. Before importing DNG presets into your library, unzip the downloaded folder and save the files on your mobile device or upload them to cloud storage.

DNG preset files may display a file load error when opened. Continue following the import steps to successfully add the preset to your library.

Note

If you create a preset with the same name as an existing preset in the same group, Lightroom displays the Duplicate Preset Name dialog box with options to Keep Both, Replace, or Rename the preset.
