WHAT MAKES AURORA PRESETS UNIQUE?
The Aurora Presets go beyond standard editing tools, offering unique colorful masks that elevate your images to a new level of creativity. Each preset has been designed with color theory, allowing you to experiment with opalescent pastel overlays in a way that standard sliders can’t replicate.
HOW DO I USE THE AURORA PRESETS?
Choose your focal point, apply one of the 4 composition variations, and adjust the saturation slider to create the perfect balance. A video tutorial from Cara Mia is included to guide you through each step, so you can make the most of the Aurora presets with ease.
WHAT SOFTWARE DO I NEED TO USE THESE?
The minimal requirements to run the presets are Adobe Lightroom Classic 11 or higher and Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 14 or higher. We do suggest using our presets with the latest versions. Please note: These presets are only available as .XMP-files.
HOW DO I INSTALL THE PRESETS?
For Lightroom Classic (Desktop): Open Lightroom Classic and go to the Develop module. On the left panel, look for the Presets panel. Right-click on the Presets panel and select Import Presets. Navigate to the location where your presets are saved, select them, and click Import. Your imported presets will now be available in the Presets panel under the User Presets group or another specified group if they were organized as such. For Adobe Camera Raw (ACR): Open a RAW File in ACR: Right-click on a RAW file and select "Open in Camera Raw" to launch ACR. Access the Presets Panel: Once ACR is open, look for the Presets icon on the right-hand side of the screen. It typically looks like three sliders (shadows, midtones, highlights) – this will open the Presets panel. Import Presets: In the Presets panel, click on the three dots menu icon at the top right corner and select "Import Profiles & Presets." Select and Import Your Presets: Navigate to where your presets are saved. They will either be in .xmp or .lrtemplate format (though .xmp is more common in recent versions). Select the presets you wish to import and click "Import."
