Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Make sure you imported the DNG files, not the ZIP.

  2. 2

    Open one of the DNG photos and confirm it loads correctly.

  3. 3

    Tap the three-dot menu and create the preset — importing the DNG alone is not enough.

  4. 4

    Save the preset into a group you can find easily.

  5. 5

    Close and reopen Lightroom Mobile.

  6. 6

    Open a regular photo and check the Presets panel for your saved preset.

Helpful tip

Always save presets manually after importing the DNG — Lightroom does not do this for you.

Common mistake

Most missing-preset reports happen because the DNG was imported but Create Preset was never tapped.
