Lightroom Brushes

Lightroom Brushes do not work in Lightroom CC. The brushes require Lightroom Classic 6 or newer.


Brushes Import

Mac or Windows

Download the folder that begins LRBrush-

Unzip the folder and extract the files. Depending on your operating system you may be able to just click into the folder.

On Windows double click into the folder, select all, copy and paste into a new folder outside the zipped folder.

On Mac simply double click into the zipped folder and Mac should extract the files into a new folder for you. If you downloaded via Safari
the zipped file may be unzipped already.

For organizational purchases it’s best if you can save these unzipped files in a folder together named by collection. For instance, I would
title my folder “LLP-HappyHour” and place all of my Happy Hour Collection presets in that

Open Lightroom Classic and open the Preferences panel.

On Mac, Lightroom Classic -> Preferences.

On Windows, Edit -> Preferences.

Go to the Presets tab and click the button that says “Show All Other Lightroom Presets”.

This is going to open and highlight a “Lightroom” folder, open that folder and look for Local Adjustment Presets.

Leaving this window open, open another file explorer/finder window and navigate to your unzipped Lightroom Brushes.

Copy the .lrtemplate files and paste them into the Local Adjustments Presets folder.

Close everything and restart Lightroom.

Locate your brushes:

Older Versions of Lightroom- Click the local adjustment brush icon, then click next to Effect.

New Versions of Lightroom- Select the masking tool, click on “Custom” next to “Effect” or “Preset” when a mask has been selected and applied.

Your brushes are now ready to use!
