All the DxO Optics Pro presets are recorded as individual files, typically called « NameOfThePreset.dxo » and stored in the Presets folder on the hard disk.
It is possible to add original presets to your collection, by directly copying the corresponding file into the Presets folder before starting DxO Optics Pro.

If you want to try one of the proposed presets:

1 - Download the zip file by clicking on the available link.

2 - Unzip the downloaded file and put the "name_of_the_preset.dxo" file inside your Presets folder, which you will find (depending on your platform):

- for Windows users:
C:\Program Files\DxO Labs\DxO Optics Pro v4\Presets

- for Mac OS X users:
Library › Application Support › DxO Labs › DxO Optics Pro › Presets V4

3 - Launch DxO Optics Pro.

4 - Select your images as usual, and open one of them in the Enhance tab. The name of the new preset will appear in the Preset list, that you visualize by opening the Presets palette.

5 - Select the Preset, and click the "Apply" button on the right: the current image will be corrected according to the parameters recorded in the preset.

6 - Even faster, you can apply the preset when importing images into your project. In the Select tab, a dedicated button named "Add Images + Settings..." brings up the list of all available presets: one single click is enough to apply a preset to all selected images while adding them to your project.
