OLD NEWS, but it might still help someone so I’ll leave it here!
You guys! I just released my new presets! If you’ve just downloaded them and you’re looking at the (super unfamiliar) .xmp file and can’t figure out how to import them the way you’re used to, don’t be discouraged – we did the same thing – and failed. haha. SO we battled our way into Google and found the answer! THEN THAT DIDN’T WORK, so I called Adobe and got the answer straight from them. If you have any issues with setup, let me know ASAP- I want to help it get sorted and brainstorm with you!
