2.3 Lightroom (Lr)
**The algorithm for importing photos into Lightroom is not the same as Lightroom Classic, so importing a zip file directly can sometimes cause errors. In this case, you need to unzip the zip file into a folder first.

- For more information about importing and synchronizing presets, please refer https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/using/add-sync-mobile-presets.html
2.4 **Use Lightroom Mobile on your phone/tablet
-
Complete the import steps of 2.3 Lightroom (Lr) first
-
After importing profiles, if you try to edit the raw files on Lightroom Mobile and found that an error was reported : Missing Profile.
Why does this happen?
-
Adobe currently only synchronizes presets, not profiles on cell phones and tablets. It's unfortunate when you apply a preset, you can't find the corresponding profiles on mobile. This is a policy of Lightroom, and hope in the future Adobe can open synchronization function of profiles to make cross-platform editing more convenient.
How to use a custom profile in Lightroom Mobile.
Solution:
We have to apply a profile in Lightroom (Lr) on the computer, export the JPG file and then import it back to Lightroom and sync it to your phone/tablet via Lightroom mobile so that you can use the profile in Lightroom Mobile.
Steps:
- In the "Desktop Version" of Lightroom, first apply the PerfeFilm profile to a raw file.
- File - Export
- More Options - All Metadata - Export 1 photo
- Afterwards, import the exported file back to Lightroom (Lr). Remember to sync the imported jpeg photo to your Lightroom Mobile on the mobile device.
Notes :
-
There might be more than one lens on your phone/tablet. Only one of the lens can be synced at a time with this export - Add Photos - Sync method. If you find that there is still profiles that has not been synced, please repeat the process again.
-
You need to repeat the process again for different "categories" of profiles. In short, if you encounter a situation where you can't find the profile on your mobile devices, just repeat the steps in this section again.
