Lightroom workflow for `.xmp` and `.lrtemplate` outputs
For photographers, Lightroom outputs can be faster than LUT-only workflows in photo grading pipelines.
Which Lightroom preset format to choose
Export both `.xmp` and `.lrtemplate` if your team has mixed versions. Import directly into user profile presets and keep naming consistent.
- Use `.xmp` for modular preset handling and metadata-aware sync.
- Use `.lrtemplate` for classic Lightroom preset workflows.
How to install in Lightroom
- Download the preset file from the generation page.
- Move to your Lightroom preset folder or import in the Presets panel.
- Apply to a non-critical image.
- Check highlights and skin regions before applying to full set.
