HOW TO INSTALL
--------------
1. Quit Lightroom Classic completely. It only reads presets at launch.
2. Copy the "Lightroom Tools - Christmas & Winter" folder into your Settings folder:

   macOS     ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings/
   Windows   %AppData%\Adobe\CameraRaw\Settings\

   (On macOS the Library folder is hidden. In Finder press Cmd+Shift+G and
   paste the path above.)

3. Start Lightroom Classic. In the Develop module the pack now appears
   as a group in the Presets panel on the left.

Prefer not to hunt for folders? In Develop, open the Presets panel, click the
"+" button and choose "Import Presets", then select the .xmp files.


HOW THESE ARE BUILT - PLEASE READ, IT MATTERS
---------------------------------------------
They grade, they do not expose.

The entire Basic panel is deliberately left alone - exposure, contrast,
highlights, shadows, whites, blacks, texture, clarity, dehaze, vibrance and
saturation. White balance stays As Shot. Those depend on your individual file,
your camera and your light, so a preset that sets them would fight you on every
photo.

What each preset does set: colour grading, HSL, camera calibration, tone curves,
and grain or vignette where the look calls for it.

So the workflow is: set your own exposure and white balance first, then drop a
look on top. It layers, it does not overwrite.

One consequence worth knowing: on a flat, straight-out-of-camera RAW a look can
read subtle until you set your exposure. That is by design. It is a colour
grade, not a one-click auto-fix. Use the Amount slider to push any look further
or pull it back.


REMOVING THEM
-------------
Delete the folder from the Settings path above and relaunch Lightroom.
