How do I get my lost presets & profiles back?
If you lost your Kubota effects due to a computer or software upgrade, contact Customer Support and provide a purchase receipt or the email used to purchase the effects to receive a product download link.

Profiles are a relatively new feature in Lightroom and they appear in a different location than your presets. Both types of effects allow you to alter the image in beautiful (or questionable) ways. Traditional Presets make use of Lightroom’s adjustment tools to create the look. The new Profiles can be made using adjustment tools, but they can also take advantage of advanced color manipulation only available in separate color editing software, giving you looks that Lightroom just isn’t capable of creating on its own. Profiles are infinitely more powerful.

The other benefit to Profiles is that after you apply one, you can adjust the intensity of the entire look with one slider – something not possible with presets. In addition, you can apply a Profile AND still apply a preset, or presets, on top of it to fine tune the look. A Profile does not mess with any of your Lightroom adjustments, so you are free to set those as you see fit independently from the Profile. Artists like to adjust their images first for optimum exposure, color, and tone, and then drop a beautiful Profile on top of it to make it special.

Install the Presets & Profiles In Lightroom Classic

In Lightroom Classic, the easiest way to install Presets is via the Import Presets option:

1. Switch to Develop mode.
2. Under the Presets panel, click the “+” button and select Import Presets.
3. Navigate to the folder of your presets OR your profiles.
4. Select all the individual .xmp or .lrtemplate files in the folder.

Apply the Profiles In Lightroom Classic

1. Switch to Develop Mode.
2. Profiles will show up under the Basic menu on the right side of the window.

4. Scroll down to find the collection you installed.
5. Hover over the preview icon to see the effect live on your image.

Apply the Companion Presets In Lightroom Classic

These are designed to complement the Profiles, not to be used on their own.

1. Apply a profile of your choice first.
2. Open the preset collection folder.
3. Apply a preset to alter or tune the image further. You can undo the preset by immediately pressing CMD(CTRL)–Z.

• Presets will show up under the same Presets panel where imported.
• Presets MAY alter some or all of your normal Lightroom adjustments, so you may want to fine tune the adjustments manually at this point.
