1. Installing Presets and Local Adjustment Brushes

Installing presets, in my opinion, is super annoying.
Because everyone has different systems and software versions, I don't give exact directions for everyone's systems because they are subject to change.
However, here are my quick links to Google searches that will help tremendously.

2. Installing Lightroom Mobile Presets with your .dng image files
Note that installing presets on Lightroom Mobile is much easier to do with a Creative Cloud subscription, but this is for those who don't have that.
These are my brief instructions, but you can also find great step-by-step instructions here, here or here, Google it and you'll find a ton of information on it.
Step 1: Install Lightroom Mobile App on Your Phone
It is available for both iOS or Android. A subscription is not required.
Step 2: Put the .dng preset files on your phone.
You can transfer them to your phone using the Dropbox app, Airdrop, Google drive, etc. Doesn't matter what you use, just get the .dng files on your phone.
I've created them as photos so it's whatever method works for getting them into you phone's photo roll.
Step 3: Open Lightroom Mobile and Import .dng Image Files
Open Lightroom
Hit the three dots on the top right
Select "select mode"
Tap on all of the dng photos:
Navigate to your photos:
Step 4: Create the Presets
You need to create a preset from each photo manually. It's easy to do, but does take a minute.
First, tap on the .dng photo you’d like to create a preset for. In this example, I will choose “Faded Black and White". The file names off each photo corresponds to what I've named the preset, but really, you can name it anything you'd like.
Next, tap the three dots in the top right corner and select “Create Preset”
Step 5: Repeat
Repeat the last step for every preset.
Step 6: Get Editing
Now that the presets are all added, you can apply them when editing your photos. Pull up whatever photo you'd like to edit, tap “Presets” on the bottom toolbar and you'll find them there.
