Well hello there. Today we are going to tell you how to download presets into your Lightroom app on your phone. We also have a free preset to give you! We understand that not everyone has DSLR camera and you just don't have time to deal with taking photos that way. You just want to use your phone, but still have a professional look to your photos. Today we are talking about one thing you can do to make that happen, all on your phone!
Use the Lightroom app and presets to edit your photos. The Lightroom app lets you edit so many different things on your photos that a lot of other apps don't allow you to do. And bonus, you can use presets like our free one- 'HW Rainbow 1'. For a while you weren't able to use presets very easily on the app, but you can now. So if you don't already have the app on your phone, search 'Adobe Lightroom CC' in your app store and download it. Oh and bonus bonus, the app is free to download and use!
Download our free Rainbow 1 preset. Lately, this preset is the one we have been using on almost every photo. It works well on naturally lit photos (i.e. pictures that are lit by the sun not artificial light coming from light bulbs or fluorescent lights). Soon we will have a collection of Rainbow presets that will work on a variety of different types of photos. With this free one, it will work best if you steer away from artificial light and direct sunlight. But if we are being honest, you should steer away from both of these things anyway to get the best photograph.
Now, once you have joined our newsletter group above, you will be taken to a google drive link where you can download the file. Follow the instructions below to make sure you correctly install it into your Lightroom app on the phone. How To Install A Preset Into Lightroom On Your Phone
1. Download the preset file.
2. Unzip the file. If you have an iPhone, you won't be able to do this on your phone. Just unzip the file on your computer and either Airdrop it to your phone or e-mail to yourself. If you e-mail it to yourself, just save the image.
3. In the Lightroom app, click the button to add a photo. Select the .DNG file(s) and import into Lightroom.
4. Open the .DNG file.
5. Slide to the right on the bottom and click 'Presets'.
6. Click the three dots in the top right corner.
7. Click 'Create Preset'.
8. Name the Preset according to what preset it is that you are importing. If you are installing our free preset, you will write 'HW Rainbow 1'.
9. Select what Preset Group you would like this new preset to live in. You can create a new Preset Group if you'd like to keep all your HW presets in one folder, or you can just keep everything in 'User Presets'.
10. Click the check mark to complete the process.
Once your preset is installed, it will be there forever! Just open the photo you want to use in the Lightroom App and apply the HW Rainbow 1 preset to it and voila! There are some adjustments you may have to make in order for the preset to look the best on your picture, and we will talk more about this in another post. For now, make sure you check out the exposure to see if you need to change it according to each photo's needs.
There will be more content coming involving editing photos and even taking photo for Instagram, so be sure to just our e-mail list by clicking this link.
And if you do download our preset, be sure to tag us in your photos by using the hashtag- #heywandererpresets Don't forget to pin the image below for later!
Well hello there! Today we are celebrating Dolly Parton who will be turning 73 this Saturday, January 19. Is there a person on the planet who doesn't like Dolly? Is that even possible?!? Not only are we bringing you four of our favorite Dolly Parton quotes, but we are bringing you this adorable rainbow letter board DIY. This is a Savannah genius idea. And as soon as she told me about it, I said yes, we must have this.
***Save this Instagram template to your phone and share on IG! Tag us so we can see!
What we love about Dolly is she doesn't take herself too seriously, and she is proud of who she is. She doesn't seem to care what people think of her and carries herself with such confidence. She came from nothing and through talent + determination she is a record breaker. She seems kind and down to earth while being uber famous.
1. Cover the felt on your letter board in a layer of mod podge. It's feels a little strange when you start painting it on, but once you get the first layer down it'll be easier.
Add a second layer of mod podge if needed. Hint: you probably will need a second coat.
2. Cover the frame in painter's tape so you don't get paint on it.
3. Figure out what colors you want your rainbow to be before actually painting colors on your letter board. I just used a piece of computer paper to try different combinations.
4. Once you settle on your colors, cut out the top layer of the stencil so that your paper is a rainbow shape. Place the rainbow down on your letter board and make sure it's right in the middle.
5. Take your background color and start paint the open felt while using one hand to hold the paper in place.
6. Remove the stencil and your background will be painted.
7. Cut out the next layer of the rainbow.
8. Place the stencil back on your letter board, right in the middle. You should have a strip of white felt uncovered.
9. Use a paintbrush to start filling in the border of the stencil with your next paint color and make sure your other hand is holding the stencil in place.
10. Once you've completed painting the border you can remove the stencil and then fill in the rest of the white stripe with your paint brush.
11. Repeat those steps until you have completed all stripes of the rainbow and then fill in the middle section with the same background color.
Remove your painter's tape and let your felt dry over night. Then it's ready to use!
You can put any of these lovely Dolly Parton quotes on your letter board! And if you don't have a letter board yet, you can download any of these images below to share on Instagram for Dolly's bday!

A couple weeks ago Casey was telling me that we should make some Instagram templates, as she had seen a couple floating around the internet and thought it was a good/fun idea. I wasn't so sure about it, but soon realized that people really liked them. So this past weekend we finally made some. The first one is the game of Tic-Tac-Toe. We thought this would be a really fun way to interact with your friends and followers! Basically you play a game of tic-tac-toe by tagging a friend to make the next move. Next they tag a different friend and at the end you've played a game with 5-9 different people!
Anyway, if you are into the Instagram template trend, just save these photos to your fun and add to your own stories to fill them out. Also, stay tuned as we have an Instagram course coming soon!
