All current preset collections are compatible with the newest subscription versions of Lightroom Classic, Lightroom CC, Lightroom Mobile, and Photoshop / Camera Raw (ACR).

Some collections require a desktop subscription to appear in Lightroom Mobile — they must first be installed on the desktop app, after which they sync automatically to mobile. Please ensure your Adobe apps are up to date before purchasing. Contact support to verify compatibility, and always back up your downloaded ZIP file as a precaution.

Full step-by-step instructions are available on our Install Page.

Yes — our presets and profiles are designed to work on any RAW file importable into Lightroom or ACR. They've been developed and tested on Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fujifilm, Pentax, and Leica files, among others.

While they can be used on JPG files with often good results, RAW files are their intended use.

Some collections include a dedicated mobile version installable directly into the Lightroom Mobile app — no desktop subscription required. Note that mobile presets do not include profiles.

Other collections require you to install on the desktop version of Lightroom CC first, after which they sync automatically to mobile.

Please check the specific product page to confirm compatibility for each set.

All Archipelago presets and profiles are designed for RAW files. You can use them on JPGs, but results will differ — it is not their intended use.

Yes — the included files work in both Lightroom and Photoshop / Adobe Camera Raw. ACR comes installed with Photoshop; access presets via the Camera Raw panel when opening RAW files. Note that some mask effects and tools won't be fully adjustable in ACR due to app limitations. These are not Photoshop Actions.

Unlike presets (which adjust slider values), creative profiles modify the underlying image rendering — affecting tonality and colour at a deeper level while still allowing full slider adjustments on top. An Amount slider controls the intensity of the profile effect.
