Lightroom Brushes #

Lightroom Brushes do not work in Lightroom CC. The brushes require Lightroom Classic 6 or newer.


Brushes Import #

Mac or Windows

Download the folder that begins LRBrush- #

Unzip the folder and extract the files. Depending on your operating system you may be able to just click into the folder. #

On Windows double click into the folder, select all, copy and paste into a new folder outside the zipped folder.

On Mac simply double click into the zipped folder and Mac should extract the files into a new folder for you. If you downloaded via Safari
the zipped file may be unzipped already.

For organizational purchases it’s best if you can save these unzipped files in a folder together named by collection. For instance, I would
title my folder “LLP-HappyHour” and place all of my Happy Hour Collection presets in that

Open Lightroom Classic and open the Preferences panel. #

On Mac, Lightroom Classic -> Preferences.

On Windows, Edit -> Preferences.

Go to the Presets tab and click the button that says “Show All Other Lightroom Presets”. #

This is going to open and highlight a “Lightroom” folder, open that folder and look for Local Adjustment Presets. #

Leaving this window open, open another file explorer/finder window and navigate to your unzipped Lightroom Brushes. #

Copy the .lrtemplate files and paste them into the Local Adjustments Presets folder. #

Close everything and restart Lightroom. #

Locate your brushes: #

Older Versions of Lightroom- Click the local adjustment brush icon, then click next to Effect.

New Versions of Lightroom- Select the masking tool, click on “Custom” next to “Effect” or “Preset” when a mask has been selected and applied.

Your brushes are now ready to use! #
