Ummm WOW!!! So, if you follow me on Instagram you probably saw my over-excited story and IG post of our new adventures of editing presets. In case you missed it, WE LAUNCHED SOME PHOTO PRESETS!! We were so excited to launch our first set of presets after many many requests by you guys to share how we edit our photos. After tweaking our presets and perfecting them for our us here at White Cottage Farm we decided we were finally ready to share them with you. This preset page will be updated often with new presets & even another very exciting launch next week. We launched our first set of presets to be used with Lightroom and Lightroom Mobile Apps. Shortly after the announcement of the presets, we received a few questions that we felt we wanted to hop on here real quick and address… Hopefully we can answer some questions and make this a fun an easy tool to be used on your favorite photos. We love inspiring you with cozy decor inspiration daily & now we can help you make your photos the coziest they can be as well.
- What is a preset? A preset is a jump start to editing your photos. All photos can be “edited” after you take them. Common edits are done by adjusting exposure, highlights, whites, blacks, shadows, and contrast. There are many other areas to adjust but that gets very complicated the more you go down that road. We have edited a lot of photos over the years here on the blog. And in doing so, we found ourselves making the same or very similar adjustments to all our photos in order to get the cohesive look across the blog. Those adjustments can be saved, and thats is what how we made our presets.
- Can these presets be used on mobile and desktop? Absolutely! These preset can be used on both the Desktop version of Lightroom and Lightroom Mobile. We use these presets on our high quality images that we use on the blog AND we use them on our Instagram photos daily.
- What is Lightroom? Lightroom is a very popular photo editing application from Adobe. Its is unbelievable powerful, and is widely used across all the levels of photography. Lightroom comes in a desktop format and Mobile, and if you purchase a Creative Cloud Account you can sync them together, allowing for all you edited photos to appear on your phone or your computer at the same time.
- How do I get Lightroom? Lightroom can be downloaded on your desktop from Adobe and the mobile app can be downloaded from your Apple or Android App Store.
- I purchased the preset but the download went away. Its okay! Shortly after you purchase your preset you will receive an email with a link to your download. (We have had reports of the email taking a little over a 1/2 hour… please be patient)
- I purchased my preset, now what? If you follow the instruction link that is sent to you email, you will get a set by step process on how to get the preset into Lightroom. The best practice is downloading it from a Desktop or Laptop following the steps to unzip the file & import your .dng file into Lightroom. Here is the link you will you receive: INSTRUCTION GUIDE
- Do I have to buy all three presets? No you do not. We considered grouping them together and providing them as a pack, but we thought you may want to pick and choose. At the bottom of each individual preset page, you will see a split screen of before and after. You can move the split screen to the left or right to see what the entire image would look like with that particular preset. If you can’t decide… just get all three!
- Will you becoming out with more presets? Yes! I hope to add to the collection down the road. As the seasons change and different tones in our life are used, presets may need to be adjusted and new ones may need to be created. We are naming them after our farm animals, and we have a few more farm characters to name presets after.
- If I run into issues, how do I get them resolved? Its just Jose and I over here, so please be patient. If you download your preset, please be patient and wait for the email. It has taken some people around 30 minutes to receive the email. If you are having issues after the download, we can do our best to help, email us at hellowhitecottagefarm@gmail.com and title it Preset Assistance Needed.
- Can I change the strength of the preset? Yes & no. There isn’t a one step way to lessen the strength of the preset, but you can play around with the lighting, color, sharpness, & more to have it best fit every photo perfectly. I would start with the light tab if you want to make any changes to the presets.
- What prompted us to open up a little online shop? As we announced a few weeks ago we have started our journey with adoption. We have received a bunch of insight and recommendations. All have different stories, but the common ingredient across all of the adoption stories is how much it is going to cost. We have opened a dedicated adoption email and paypal (adoption.whitecottagefarm@gmail.com) and all items sold through our blog will go to that account. It is our hope that we can sell things through the journey to help fund our adoption, and any overage we can help fund another adoption in some way.
- Will you be adding more to your online shop? YES!! We are so excited to be launching more exciting things very soon. Be sure to subscribe to our email list to be kept up on all the latest launches!
- Can I exchange my item? All items are final sale.

Bear Preset
I need help with the presets please. I paid for mine, downloaded it to my files but when I get into Lightroom it won’t let me select it. It looks like it’s a lighter color then the rest of my files almost like it didn’t download all the way so I went back to my original email to download it again and it says I’ve downloaded it too many times? I just want to use my presets ?
Hello!
I am having an issue getting the file to download on my phone. When I click on the link it tells me that I have reached my downloading limit, however I was never able to actually download it.
Any advice on how to download it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Alissa Chapin
LOVE all of your presets and can’t wait to use them!!
I’m having the same issue with my desktop version and my mobile app!
As always, beautifully done Liz.
Is there a way to download the presets on your Iphone to use in Lightroom mobile app?
I love all three presets! Think my favorite is the Potter preset!
I think I like potter best. I’m curious how many of your photos are phone photos vs real camera. Your photos always have the perfect mood. it is sweet of you to make it available.
I love all these Lightroom presents! Beautiful. I love the contrast it creates and how it brightens up any photo!!
Bear is my favorite but it is so hard to choose. They are all beautiful!
Oh my gosh! Thank you for gifting us these beautiful presets! I am in love with all three, but I am a sucker for cozy warm vibes and my favorite preset has to be Bear! Once I get a little more money in my pocket, I will definitely be purchasinfg this preset!
My fav is the Beatrix.? I love photo editing and thank you for the offer to win! I am already a fan follower and always love your style, Liz!!❤️❤️❤️
I just bought one to start while I get used to using it. The email hasn’t come through yet with download instructions but I’m soooo excited to use them! I love your photos so I’m excited to have the amazing editing added to my own. Thanks for sharing with us its so fun!! Hopefully all this helps on the journey to adoption, I’ve loved following along with your story.
Has anyone been able to get these presets to work on Desktop? I have it on mobile, but I want to use it on Desktop, and this type of file is not working w/ the desktop version of Lightroom for me. Any advice would be helpful! Thanks!
I can’t imagine all of the work that went into this. I can’t wait to get mine. I think my favorite is bear! Thanks so much!
How long does it normally take until you receive the email with instructions and link to download the presets? It’s about three hours since I purchased (2) and still no sign of the email. Please advise.
The Bear preset is my favorite, but all are great!
I’ve never used any presets before but man what have I been missing?! SO EXCITED for these! I love “Bear”, it instantly elevates any photo!
I bought all three and LOVE them! I’ve had Lightroom forever and this gave me the nuge I needed to finally give it a try. I’m 57 and a little tech challenged but I was able to install on desktop and ipad with no problem. Thank you so much!
Can anyone or can you Liz, describe the difference between the three presets? Trying to decide which one will be the best investment for our rustic white Christmas mini sessions? They all look so beautiful, but its hard to figure out which one will be best.
Did you ever said who won the giveaway of the presets?? I’m always watching your stories on IG but maybe I missed it 🙁 ?? I’m broke right now so I was hoping to win hahaha … LOVE all three presets, they just make every picture look so cozy and warm!
I am so happy you are sharing these presets with us! Unfortunatley I am having a very hard time getting the presets imported into Lightroom on my desktop. I have watched tutorials on how to do every step to get it imported, but for some reason lightroom shows the folder is “empty” so there is nothing to import, but when I access my files outside of Lightroom, I click the folder and the preset is clearly in there. I am so confused on what the issue is. I know how to unzip a compressed folder. But this has me stumped.
Hi Liz!! Just ordered the presets but have not yet received an email. I have the confirmation order number if you need it. Please help me! Lol I want to get using these bad boys! Thanks! Xoxo
Liz, Jose help!
I downloaded but never recieved an email…
I purchased these presets and downloaded the zip files, but cannot upload to them to lightroom on my PC.
Does anyone have any tips on how to find the PC version?
I cannot upload to a PC either
i purchased all 3 presets and loaded them to my phone but by the time I wanted to load them onto my computer, the link had expired…can you help me with this?
I purchased the potter preset last month right before I hopped on a flight. When I tried to set it up a few weeks later it had expired ? is there anyway I can have it resent?
