Hey guys, I got a couple of emails saying the inside-lightroom site is not accessible. So, due to popular demand 
, here’s the Lightroom 300 Presets that I created last April 2007. Just download the file, extract it and copy them to your Lightroom Presets folder.
Enjoy and let me know your feedback! Happy new year!

One thing,
Just like Mike K, these presets do not work on PC vista platform.
Can you “add” the same that will work on Win Vista?
Thanks
Ken

Hello Ken – I’ll check this out and give you an update.
Posted by alexis on January 21, 2008 at 1:31 am
I think I am doing something wrong here-Can you help?
Posted by Alan on January 24, 2008 at 3:32 am
I do also have a problem with vista regarding down loading presets
Please can you help
Alan
Posted by mikelao on January 25, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Hello Ken and Alan,
I tested this on Vista and it works fine. Extract the presets in this folder:
Adobe\Lightroom\Develop Presets\User Presets
Re-launch Lightroom afterwards.
Posted by Alan on January 28, 2008 at 4:19 am
Thank you for your help. Are you opening the presets with a unzip file if so what one
Thank you once again
Alan

DO these work in Lightroom 1.2. It doesnt have a develop presets folder and when i try importing them i get error message: “The template file is the wrong type of template.”
Any ideas?
Posted by mikelao on March 12, 2008 at 9:45 pm
Hey Katie – I had LR 1.2 and now 1.3 and they’re working fine. can you let me know what problems you’re encountering? Did you unzip them to the right path?
Posted by Hendri on April 6, 2008 at 2:23 am

I downloaded it; used unzip to extract the files, but there is no folder with the proper extension so it wont install; what am I doing wrong?
Posted by mikelao on April 12, 2009 at 9:59 am
Hey Bob – when you extract it, you should get 2 .lrtemplate files. you should put these files in your Presets folder in Lightroom.
Depending on what platform you’re using (Mac or Windows), they differ. The best way to see the presets folder is to go into Lightroom, go to the Develop module and then right-click on the Presets. Select the option – show in Finder or Explorer. That’s where you put the template files.
Hope this helps!
Mike

Posted by mikelao on May 14, 2009 at 11:13 am
Hey Kuba – the best way to do this is to do the following:
- launch Lightroom, go to Develop Module
- in your left side, you see the ‘Develop Presets’
- right click on any preset and click ‘Show In Finder’
That’s where you can extract the presets
Posted by Jennifer on May 12, 2009 at 9:03 am
Could I also trouble you to send me the download link. Your preset is fabulous!

[...] Einen der für mich interessantesten Effekte ist der sogenannte “300-Look”. Wer den Film “300” kennt, kann sich sicher noch an die Farbgebung im Film erinnern, sehr entsättigte Farben, nur die roten Bildbereiche bleiben vollständig gesättigt. Dieser Effekt bietet einen sehr interessanten hohen Kontrast und bringt gut verschiedene Strukturen zur Geltung. Bei Portrait-Fotos bringt das einen einmaligen Effekt.
