Importing XMP presets on iPhone

From Files or iCloud Drive

Open the Presets screen and choose the Files route. The iOS document picker opens on whatever Files can reach: On My iPhone, iCloud Drive, and any other storage provider you have added to Files, which is most of them.

Select one .xmp file or several. They are copied into the app, so the look keeps working when you are out of signal — nothing is streamed at capture time.

From Google Drive or OneDrive

Both are an in-app sign-in rather than a hand-off: the app lists the .xmp files in your account, you multi-select, and they import in one pass. Neither the Google Drive app nor the OneDrive app has to be installed on the phone.

The token that sign-in returns is stored in the iOS Keychain on your device and is used to read .xmp files and nothing else. It never reaches a server operated by xMosaique, because there isn't one.

A whole folder at once

A preset pack usually arrives as a folder of dozens of files. Importing the folder takes all of them in a single pass rather than making you tap through the list, which is the difference between a two-minute job and a twenty-minute one.

If a preset does not look right

Check it against the compatibility page first. Nearly every colour and tone panel is read, but a preset built around AI masks, brush work or an Adobe creative profile will render without those parts — the rest of it still applies.

A preset that fails to appear at all is usually not a preset: Lightroom mobile also exports .dng files described as presets, and a profile (.xmp inside a .cube or .look wrapper) is a different thing again.
