Right-click on any any preset group (e.g. User Presets,
or Color)
Click Import
Select the downloaded .xmp file
Your new preset will be placed in a PixelPeeper group.
If you downloaded the "full" version of the XMP preset, you'll find it in the User Presets group.
Imported presets don‘t show up in Develop
Open Lightroom Preferences, select the Develop tab
Make sure to select Show Partially Compatible Develop Presets.
Without this setting, by default Lightroom will hide presets that can‘t be fully
applied. Most of the time it‘s because of a missing camera profile.
