This step-by-step tutorial will show you how to install VSCO presets in Lightroom. Follow these methods to use beautiful presets and transform your images.

How to Install VSCO Presets in Lightroom

You can use either the Presets Panel or the menu bar to install VSCO presets in Lightroom. Select the VSCO presets you want to install, then click import.

Lightroom comes with a collection of built-in presets. However, if you want, you can install and use other presets on Adobe Lightroom. Only with a few clicks can you add any number of presets to your Lightroom application.

Step 1: Download VSCO Presets

When you want to install VSCO presets in Lightroom Classic, you first download VSCO presets onto your computer. Like any other file, you can easily download the VSCO presets from their website.

Step 2: Install the VSCO Presets in Lightroom

Downloaded VSCO presets for Lightroom come in a zipped format. The recent versions of Lightroom do not require you to unzip this file. 

You can add them directly to your Lightroom application using the two methods below.

Install VSCO Presets Using the Presets Panel

I will discuss the first method of installing VSCO presets here through the Presets Panel. Once you have downloaded the VSCO presets, follow the steps below:

2. When you start Lightroom, you enter the Library Module. Switch it to the Develop Module. The modules are listed in the top right corner of your Lightroom screen.

3. As you open the develop module, you will see the Presets Panel on the left side of your Lightroom interface. You will also see a list of default presets under this section. These are the presets that come built-in with Lightroom.

5. From this menu, click on Import Presets.

6. You will then see a File Explorer dialog box. Navigate to your downloaded presets file location, select it, and click Import.

You will now see the VSCO presets listed within the Presets section.

Install VSCO Presets Using the Menu Bar

Another method of installing VSCO presets into Lightroom is through the menu bar. Here are the steps I have to follow for this method.

1. Switch to the Develop Module.
2. Go to the menu bar present at the top of your Lightroom screen.
3. From the menu bar, select File. This will open a drop-down menu for you.
4. Select Import Develop Profiles and Presets from the menu.
