How to install your free Sleeklens presets and brushes
The presets and brushes in this free Lightroom Start Pack are compatible with Lightroom 4 or later, on both Windows and Mac OS X.
To install your presets: After you have downloaded your Starter Pack, open Lightroom and go to the Develop Module. In the Presets panel on the left, right-click over the existing presets and choose New Folder. Give the folder an appropriate name and click OK. Next, right-click on the new folder and choose Import. Navigate to your downloaded Sleeklens presets, Shift-click between first and last to select them all, then click Import. Now the presets will appear under the folder in the Presets panel. Click on any preset to apply it, and use the Reset button to revert.
To install your brush presets: Also included in the Starter Pack are five brush presets that work in combination with the Adjustment Brush to give you a variety of selective tonal effects. After you have downloaded your Starter Pack, open your Lightroom Preferences and click the Presets tab, then click the Show Lightroom Presets Folder button. This opens a Lightroom folder in your file explorer (in Windows) or Finder (in Mac OS X). Inside this folder, open the Local Adjustment Presets folder, then copy and paste the supplied .lrtemplate files into the Local Adjustment Presets folder. Now open Lightroom, go to the Develop Module and select the Adjustment Brush in the toolbar. Click the Effect drop-down menu to find the newly installed brush presets.
