Basically, you just go to the Develop Module and on the left, under Presets, right click to create a New folder for your presets (maybe call it the name of the person who created them or just something like "Free Web Presets" or somthing). Then Right click that folder and choose Import and navigate to the template file you downloaded. That's it.

Yes. When you right click on the folder, you should see this:

No, the trial version is the full version.

It won't work if you're right-clicking the folder called "Lightroom Presets." You have to first right-click and create a new folder, then right click your new folder to import.

That's exactly what I did. I don't think it's a case of not knowing what to do, it won't do it. It's simple, right click on it and a menu pops up, that does not happen on my computer...must be broke. My computer is brand new so it has to be somethign went wrong in the download.

Maybe so. Just to make sure . . . and I am not saying this to insult you . . . on a Mac, if you don't have a mouse with a right click button, it's Control-click instead. I thought I should mention it just in case. It's the control key, not the command (apple) key.

OMG!! I love you! Thanks for telling me that. It worked. I love my Mac, but it's like learning how to use a computer all over again. I've only had it for only about 2 weeks or so.
