The Quest Series of Presets & Profiles are designed for the newest Adobe Lightroom Subscription Versions of Lightroom Classic, Lightroom CC, and Adobe Camera Raw (ACR in Adobe Photoshop).
The Quest Presets & Profiles are also compatible with the current version of the Lightroom Mobile App however they MUST be installed in the desktop version of Lightroom CC first in order to sync to the mobile app version of Lightroom.
Quest presets & profiles will NOT work with older, standalone versions of LR/ACR.

How to install presets in LIGHTROOM
With the Creative Cloud Photography plan from Adobe (including Lightroom CC, Lightroom Classic CC, & Photoshop) you can now easily import presets or profiles.
1. Navigate to the Develop module in the Lightroom app.
2. In the Presets panel, click the plus (+) icon at the upper-right corner and choose ‘Import Presets’ from the menu. PLEASE NOTE, you will only be able to click the plus (+) icon if you have images loaded in the Develop module.
3. In the import dialog that appears, select the downloaded ZIP file. Please note, this needs to be the original ZIP file. Some browsers will automatically uncompress this ZIP file, but it needs to be a ZIP to install correctly. If your browser has extracted the folder automatically from the zip (Safari on Mac does this), you may need to right-click and recompress it into a ZIP, or download the file with a different browser.
That’s it! Once you have added the ZIP file, it will automatically extract the presets into the Develop module for you. They will also now be available in Photoshop ACR if you want to use your presets & profiles there.
How to install ACR presets in Adobe PS
Please note, if you install the XMP presets/profiles in Lightroom 10, they will automatically be installed for ACR as well.Otherwise, follow these steps to install for ACR only:
Open ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) in Photoshop (select a raw file to import to prompt it to open).
Select the 'Presets’ editing panel (shortcut is Shift+P).
Select the ‘…’ in the top right corner of the Presets panel to open more options.
Select ‘Import Profiles & Presets’, and choose the ZIP file of the presets you wish to import.
As in Lightroom, you must then select the downloaded ZIP file of the presets you wish to import.
Please note, this needs to be the original ZIP file.
Some browsers will automatically uncompress this ZIP file, but it needs to be a ZIP to install correctly. If your browser has extracted the folder automatically from the zip (Safari on Mac does this), you may need to right-click and recompress it into a ZIP, or download the file with a different browser.
That’s it! Your new presets are ready to use in ACR!
Adding presets to Lightroom Mobile
Adding Quest presets to Lightroom mobile is easy!
However, they MUST first be installed in the DESKTOP Adobe subscription Lightroom CC app version 6 or newer (not Lightroom Classic CC) in order to sync to the Lightroom mobile app.
In this tutorial video, we show you how you can sync your desktop presets so that they will work in Adobe Lightroom Mobile: WATCH HERE.
