Lightroom Mobile allows you to organize presets into groups. Here’s how to create preset groups:
a. Go to the Presets panel.
b. Tap the three dots icon (•••) at the top of the preset list.
c. Select Create Preset Group and give it a name.
d. You can then drag and drop presets into this group for easy access.
6. Adjust Presets After Applying Them
